I believe, however, that the original question posed by this thread was how to display fonts not built into the Reader, and for that I suspect the only way is to create a PDF with embedded fonts. I don't know if Sony's native BBeB format has that ability or not.

I must experiment with this myself, because one of my (doubtless strange) interests is reading the classical authors, and being able to have books in ancient Greek on the Reader would be very good indeed. I can display them on my PC, using the appropriate fonts, so if those fonts could "accompany" the text onto the Reader that would be great. The nice things about ancient Roman and Greek authors is that they are all well out of copyright
