Ah.
I worked for my college yearbook once, and was quite surprised that we had to
buy the fonts. They were made by Adobe, and cost
at least $50 a piece. You want a complete set--regular, bold, italic, bold-italic, compressed, expanded--then expect to pay
hundreds of dollars. But that was for PostScript fonts, which are print quality.
You're talking about the different kinds of fonts: PostScript, PCL, TrueType, etc. The Sony Reader uses TrueType fonts (.ttf), which are used by Windows, Mac, and Linux. And that's good for us, because (as mentioned in Wikipedia):

TrueType is now the most common format for fonts on today's Mac OS X and Windows XP, although both also include native support for Adobe's Type 1 format and the OpenType extension to TrueType. While many of the fonts provided with the system are now in the OpenType format, most free or inexpensive third-party fonts use plain TrueType.

Which improves our chances of finding free fonts. So, I'll go back to trawling for fonts.
