As I said in my previous post, the key is to name the fonts correctly.
The font's
internal name (not the filename of the .ttf) can be altered by a font-editing application like
FontLab Studio (which is what I use - font design is a hobby of mine).
Unfortunately I'm a Mac user, and I don't know what font editing apps are available for Windows, so I can't give you step-by-step instructions for some other freeware tool. FontLab
is available for Windows, but it is a rather expensive professional app.
However, whatever tool you use, the procedure is straight forward: let's say we want to use Times instead of the default Dutch 801.
1. We open the Times Roman font and rename it to Dutch 801, just like it's described in
Valloric's PDF. Save it as
tt0011m_.ttf.
2. Open the next style, lets say, Times Italic, and we ALSO rename it to Dutch 801.
But we set the
style name to "Italic" instead of "Roman". Then we save it as
tt0011i_.ttf. (I'm not certain that the .ttf name has to be exact. Maybe it will work with any name, as long at its 8.3 characters long)
3. Repeat the same procedure for the bold and bold italic styles, naming them
tt0011b_.ttf and
tt0011bi.ttf respectively.
When the fonts are prepared. Upload them to the Reader. Experienced PRS hackers already know how to do that
so I won't bother with a detailed description, since you can find instructions on other forums of this site.
The only thing that bears scrutiny is that if you use an automated system like
PRSCustomizer, you will need to manually copy the fonts in the proper location (depending on your firmware) inside the sdcard folder, because PRSCustomizer only copies the three default fonts.
I hope this was clear enough. I'll be happy to answer any questions. Just post them in the forum, or PM me.
