I downloaded the fonts simsun.ttf and mingliu.ttf onto the glo. but they do not show up on the Aa font menu. i restarted the ereader, same thing. i have chinese files in both epub and txt format, and neither can be read.

the fonts downloaded are 1kb each. is that too small? if so, then i might not have the right versions of the fonts. is there any way that you have to name them to get them to show on the fonts menu?

i also downloaded 'unifont', 15.5MB which does show on the menu, reads Chinese, except it is unnatural looking, ugly and bolds in all the wrong places.

anyone got any idea what i should do? also, if anyone knows a free and easy to use chinese ebook site, that'd be useful too (once i get the font sorted out).
