I tried and spent a few hours yesterday evening playing with the FontMapper script but to no joy...

Basically this script mounts (using the mount --bind Linux-specific option which allows mounting into existing file systems) a user-writable FONT folder in lieu of (yet another frenchism ) the /opt/sony/application/FONT folder.

The goal is to use the font files stored in this user-writable folder to change the LRF fonts more easily than by flashing.

I tried mounting a user-writable adobe folder into /opt/sony/application, but it didn't work. I guessed that the target folder had to exist, so I tried creating it, but it didn't work either (maybe this is a read-only space ? because it's in the firmware ?).

Then, I issued a cp -R command to copy all the files in the /opt/sony/application to the user-writable space, added a adobe folder to this copy, and tried mount --bind to mount it in /opt/sony/application ; I thought that it would work, but it didn't...

I think that my basic idea is not bad, but I need help from people who know more than me the PRS filesystem and limitations ; yes this means you, Igorsk



Also, maybe alanine could help us too, he was the nice guy who wrote the FontMapper script...

At least I tried !

PS : I take this opportunity to post a text file containing the result of a ls -laR command into the Sony Reader, it is interesting, IMHO
