Hi Phil, I guess my css suggestions for Sony are now out-dated.

Just for interest I blew the cobwebs off my PRST1 (and disabled the Morkl hack). With the @font-faces and body css as per your above post. On the PRST1, choosing 'Original' displays as GeorgiaEInk and selecting one of Amasis, Frutiger, etc displays that selected font, i.e. giving a choice of 7 fonts. At least my memory hasn't completely gone!

A bit more PRST1 info, for any book text (e.g. headings) which has been deliberately styled with font-family: sans-serif; ... choosing 'Original' will show that text in the default sans-serif font. However, if one of Amasis, etc is selected, what should have been sans-serif is now also displayed in the selected font.

You asked what the difference between 'Original' and 'Amasis' is. You could try the above test to see if the two options give different results. If there is no difference then it sounds like the T3 may be using @fontfaces something like
Code:
@font-face {font-family: serif, sans-serif; ... src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/AmasisMTW1G.otf)}
for both 'Original' and 'Amasis'.

Oh, well. If fonts are important to you, you might like to dip a toe in Kobo waters one day
