First of all, big thanks for alanine for sharing the hack for customizing fonts for 505

Soilwork, I have had trouble getting Korean documents to display - some of my rtf's are encoded in EUC-KR, some use ISO-2022-KR and some use Unicode. What is the base encoding for the documents you use and what Korean fonts have you installed that match it?

Thanks for the help!

I am sorry but I cannot help you there. I did not try to load Korean fonts since I don't plan to read Korean books in my PRS-505. I already spend way too much time surfing Korean websites

I just posted the link to alanine's post on a Korean website.

Then, someone actually tried and posted a Korean translation of how to install fonts.

Judging from the response, many people seemed to be successful. I guess you can refer to this link and see whether it solves your problem. If not, you can ask questions there.

Hope this helps.

Not a Korean speaker, but from the experience with PRS500 hack, I guess only unicode is supported.

I guess you'd better change the encoding of documents with UTF-8 or Unicode, using WordPad. That'll work.
