Today, I found out, I had serious misunderstanding concerning font types.
I was, as usual, looking for THE perfect font for reading on my PocketBook. I was sitting in front of Windows computer and I was looking at some fonts. I realized that even if the fonts all had *.ttf extension, some had "good old" ttf icon and some had OpenType icon. When I doubleclicked on a font with ttf icon a build-in windows font preview window appeared with info that it is, indeed, a true type font. When I clicked on a *.ttf font with an OpenType icon a font preview window appeared stating that this is OpenType font with TrueType outlines.
Wait ...
... I am using some of those OpenType-disguised-as-TrueType fonts in my reader at the moment ...
I rushed to wikipedia and looked up "Open Type"
Quote:
OpenType is a format for scalable computer fonts. It was built on its predecessor TrueType, retaining TrueType's basic structure and adding many intricate data structures for prescribing typographic behavior.
Filename extension .otf, .ttf

So I grabed some *.otf fonts I found on the net (and wanted to convert to ttf but did not know how ;-) ), renamed them to *.otf.ttf and copied onto /system/fonts/ folder on my PocketBook.
It works!
Yet another point from my wishlist - support for otf fonts - was just fulfiled.
Just a reminder.
You can also rename *.ttc to *.ttf and load directly to PocketBook.
