The best way I've found to use alternate fonts for books on my PW is to embed the font into the book file using Calibre and then transfer the file to my PW. The embedded font becomes the publisher font under the font menu.

If your books have DRM, you'll have to strip that first before you can embed the font.

That may be difficult on the PW2 because you need to be jailbroken -- in which case your only hope is as dordale said, embedding them in each book.

Thanks for the answer! I have tried this hack and it wasn't working. Now I know why!
