From Nookdevs website, it shows how to "replace" an existing font files in Nook with our own font files.

I just wonder whether we could just "add" new font files, and the new font option will show on the font selection menu for me to choose?

I ask because I have some Thai documents which I want to read on my Nook without the need to embed Thai fonts; or converting them to PDF. I've tried an embedded Thai font epub, though, it can display Thai correctly, it won't wrap sentence/paragraph to fit the display screen. PDF is good, when changing font size to medium up, the reflow could not display Thai properly (no problem with English text).

If adding a new font is possible, I may try with pdb document and choose a new font (Thai+English font set) on my Nook, when I want to read such document. Or I can try epub without embedded Thai font.
