You must verify that the folder files.505.1.1.00.18040 and the its subfolders (in SD Flasher) are empty. Delete ALL files exept the new font file and reflash.

surquizu,
Your tip made the difference. Thanks so much. The revised method for changing the font from the default for non-epub files while keeping PRS+ functions is:

1. Install PRS+ (skip if you already have it installed)
2. Use Igorsk's Universal Flasher (I used a empty SD card).
3. Place the customized tt0011m_.ttf file in the files.505.1.1.00.18040\opt\sony\ebook\FONT\ directory on the SD card.
4. You must verify that the folder files.505.1.1.00.18040 and the its subfolders (in SD Flasher) are empty. Delete ALL files exept the new font file.
5. Start (insert card into reader) Igorsk's Universal Flasher make a new image (press 5).
6. Then Flash the image (press 6).

Thanks again to all who helped solve this issue.

Yep. That's how they should look. Except that you should have a monospace version as well.

I swapped your steps 3 and 4 and updated/added them to all previous posts I had created that had these steps. I don't want future folks confused.

Yes, it works. I have never seen books with page countdown, before. It's not ordinary idea. But, what the practical value of it? I'm not sure it's useful. Besides, in this case GOTO PAGE function must works inversely too.

The only utility is because there are people who like to know the remaining pages to finish the book, although it seems not useful for you, can you incorporate it in the project? (for example somepeople have ask for the pages read per minute in wiki request too.

Thanks

I like the idea!

When reading a "real" book, you have the process of turning over the pages with the goal in front of your eyes, that the remaining pages are getting thinner and thinner and this is an incentive to read more and more till the end...until quite late at night...

Since ebooks lack in this, it´s a real nice function and deserves to be part of PRS+!

Cheers.

It was only IMHO The author (kartu) will decide. Thanks.

What do you think about to display remaining page count instead total count?
Like this, may be
51+49 (51%)

I prefer that display shows only the remaining pages or percentage, because the number of the digits is limited, so in the case a book has too many pages it's posible that the all digits don't appear in the line, so the function would be unuseful.
