My EZ Reader came with built-in support for many foreign languages: language is set via Option #6 (settings), #2 (language), then select the language, e.g., #4 is for Russian. Not sure if it's specific to certain language, but I've also found that I need use the default font (simsun.ttf) to display my foreign text properly.

[edit] In the default English language, the default system font came with my device is named IBOOKN.ttf. Sorry, I now believe simsun.ttf is a designated system font as a result of my selection of the particular foreign language. Therefore, my interpretation is that the device may adjust its system font for a given language, and you only need select the font that's designated as "system font".
