@font-face {

font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///Data/fonts/DroidSerif-Regular.ttf);

I'm curious, do you actually place this font on your 600?

I am lucky enough to be able to use the PRSplus hack on my PRS-505. This lets me place what fonts I want to use (I use fontin fonts) on my reader and change the font, font size, line height, margins etc on the fly by adjusting my style.css file on the reader. This applies my desired setup to every epub I read, including DRM infected epubs.

This applet sounds like an excellent tool for our community.
