This hack and the EPUB format

I use Sony PRS-505 with the firmware version 1.4.00.23260 (for the German market). After following the steps I could immediately see the titles of the books in cyrillic. Thanks!

But it drove me crazy to get the EPUB without embedded font files to work. Only the comment #86 implicitly says that the hack does not have any impact on EPUB format.

1. Can you confirm this (does not work for EPUB)? You could probably clarify this in your first post so people do not waste time trying to get EPUB work.

2. If it is true, have you any idea how to change default fonts used to render EPUB. The only workaround known to me is to unzip the .epub file, change style sheets to reference some fonts folder on the reader, to zip again and transfer to reader like

/* Following makes font-family:DejaVuSansMono available */
@font-face {
font-family: "DejaVuSansMono";
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///Data/fonts/DejaVuSansMono.ttf);
}

3. Does the Reader support some sort of "exploded" epub format or plain HTML (without zipping)?

Thanks!
