I'm nearly ready to buy the new Kindle DX, but:

I have a lot of academic articles in PDF form, and I was wondering if it is possible to download PDFs over the 3G using the Kindle Browser. I'd like to be able to access my web-server with the PDFs to download a few, should I need a specific article. Is it possible either out-of-the-box or does it require a hack?

Also, is there something special that needs be done to a font before it can go onto the Kindle via the font hack? I'd like to be able to use my favorite book/academic typeface.

Thanks in advance.
