I wonder if maybe this could be a result of using your Mac?
I tend to use a Windows PC for doing most things with my cybook but have used my mac to add pictures and I had a similar problem that I think was incured by the fact that a mac will add a couple of (hidden?) files to the directory? Once I deleted these it worked ok.

regarding the number of fonts you can have on the device I don't know if there is a technical limit but there is a practical one in that you can only see a list of fonts that fits on the screen, any more and although they are selectable they will be off screen and you will not be able to see what you are selecting. (may not explain it clearly but just put on 20 or 30 fonts and try it to see what I mean).

Am not sure about using the SD card slot for fonts. seem to rememeber reading somewhere that fonts can only be loaded using the folder on the main device.

lastly regarding the type of font, I have never tried anything else but Bookeen only seem to ever mention ttf so perhaps this the only type properly supported?
