They seem to have fixed many compilation issues (as I can see from the commits - I didn't test it)
Yeah, I looked at that a while ago. It didn't seem to have got very far, and even worse for me, seemed to be aimed at the models with touchscreens. It's also based on quite an old version of pdfviewer. Maybe the best thing is to fool around with the font rendering on any old version, and then send an E-mail to PB telling them what they should do in their official version. That way, we may see it in the next firmware releases. The official versions have proprietary decryption and text-to-speech support that will never be seen in the open-source versions, so getting PB to improve it is the best option.
