Excellent Font Support – It comes with an in-built Font Fusion Engine from BitStream that supports Chinese, Korean, Japanese. It also claims to support ANY font. The default fonts look good (these are fonts on my PC, not on the Sony)

!?!??! REALLY???
I wonder if that'll be supported via firmware upgrade on the 700. If not, then I might have to drop my 700 for a 600.
They're just making (wrong) guesses from some keywords. Font Fusion Engine was used since PRS-500 for LRF rendering only and the only fonts included on all Readers so far were the same Dutch, Swiss and Courier. Text in menus and TXT/RTF files is rendered using Freetype. PDF and EPUB renderer is made by Adobe and uses standard Adobe fonts.
