This has been driving me insane for the past few hours. No matter what font I choose it never changes.

PocketBook manages fonts in an obscure way. What you must do in order your books use the fonts of your choise is the following:
1. First at all, copy the .ttf fonts you want to use in the folder /mnt/sdcard/.pocketbook/fonts
2. Open Pocketbook, load an ebook and tap in the center of the screen in order you can see the top menu bar.
3. Tap in the "Options" icon (the gear on the right top).
4. In the "Formating" section, select the option "Other".
5. Tap in the "Font List" option.
6. Now will appear a list with all the fonts you can use. Select the font of your choise
AND DRAG IT TO THE TOP OF THE LIST. This is very important because of that way Pocketbook knows your priorities regarding fonts (of course, the font also must have the "check mark" in the box on the left).
7. Do the same with any others fonts you want to use.
8. Also you have to define what kind of font is (serif, sans-serif, monospaced). To do that, press about 2 seconds (or tap) on the name of the font in the list. After that, a new dialog will appear where you can set the font style. Accept all and return to menu "Options/Other".
9. If you are using the last version of Pocketbook, then you don't need to do anything more here. Otherwise you'll need to indicate the folder where you stored your fonts by tapping in "User Resources" (path to user resources). In order to see this option you must enable the option "Show all settings").
10. That's all. Return to your ebook, select the option "Prefer serif fonts" (or "Prefer sans-serif fonts" according to your wishes). Very probably you won't see any change
CLOSE your ebook and re-open it! Now you'll see the font of your choice.
I hope all this can help you in order to use your fonts under PocketBook.
