I tried aso1964 method and the font displayed correctly on the first try. I suppose when the reader couldn't render a font it will fall back on droidfallback font. Therefore copying your font to the root fonts folder with droid fonts and renaming your font as droidfallback will work. The only thing is Myanmar language has three or four popular fonts which means you will have to do this procedure again and again for other fonts. Right now I have installed zawgyi-one in my nook and sony 505 and can read myanmar epubs now. I still have to try out wininnwa, padauk and myanmar3 fonts.

Thanks khin99, i am glad your problem solved, by the way, can you please direct me to the site where i can download myanmar epub files.

@aso1964,
There is no web site where myanmar epub can be found. Myanmar cupids have a few members who publish articles but in pdf. Perhaps they can be persuaded to convert some. I am attaching a few epubs. Shwedagon is converted by saturngod. You can visit his site @http://www.saturngod.net/knowledgebase/zawgyi-docx-to-epub.

Sorry, bringing up quite an old topic, I'm a new owner of the Nook Simple Touch who needed chinese support (which Nook dosen't do as good as Kindle), but I have to say I found Almakos method very easy for those of us who just dosen't want to mess around with Rooting. After all, anyone who owns an e-reader will probably use Calibre a lot anyway.

I just wanted to add that because most Chinese novels are in the txt format these days, the best way to convert successfully is to make sure the input file
is saved in UTF-8 format first.
