ShacharWeis · 11-10-2008, 03:58 AM

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to change the reading font on my PRS-505
I have the latest PRSCustomizer and i'm using Callibre,
and I convert all my books into LRF.
How do i change the font ?
Shich fonts are installed on the device ?
Can I embed my own fonts ?
Which font is recommended ?

Thanks !
Shachar Weis

Al the info you want should be in Valloric's guide - see this thread.

Hi!

OMG! I finally found strength enough to re-make the "ten-times" procedure to finally unbrick my PRS505...and...

OMG!!! After 10th reset, I found the message that Jeff predicted, and after that I tried to update firmware with PRSUpdater, and...I've pretty found that message changed to "Updating Firmware now"...but It's bricked there!!!

I've found DiabloNL methods (based on SD Card...) but I'd rather prefer to ask here firstly!

HeeEeEeelp!

Thanks!

Ok!

Let me find the "I'm stupid" icon...well...

I finally unbricked it at all. My windows user wasn't an administrator. After re-logging as Admin, everything worked fine.

I'm sorry...

Best regards,
^_Pepe_^

Glad you're all sorted out Pepe!

Anyone want to test PRSCustomizer with UK support? If so, let me know here or via PM.

Hi, I've just finished modifing main.xml and mainStorage.xml for THAI locale by replacing France. I found one tiny error on main.xml with all language, see this sample code.
------------------------------------------------------------------
default:
if(result.length> 13 && (result.lastIndexOf ("books - Page") > 0))
{
text = result.replace(/books - Page/g,"Bücher - Seite");
}
else if(result.length> 12 && result.lastIndexOf("book - Page")>0)
{
text = result.replace(/books - Page/g,"Buch - Seite");
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second result.replace() must use with "/book - page/g" with no "s"

The result is it will not change the locale for the amount of book is not plural (<2).

Thanks, Keng2000!

Porkupan is doing the localization code so you might want to crosspost in the
thread where he takes suggestions. Thanks again.

PRSCustomizer v1.0 is now available. The primary change is the addition of Igorsk's Universal Flasher 2.1

Download link

JSWolf · 11-23-2008, 12:44 PM

Do you have a version to test that has the US version 2.1? I'll test that one.

That's available now. Go to the download link.

JSWolf · 11-23-2008, 01:50 PM

Thanks much! I'll give it a go probably tomorrow.

JeffElkins · 11-24-2008, 10:26 AM

Just to clear up any confusion, the current version of PRSCustomizer does not support any firmware other than US/Canada. I'm working on providing UK/FR support now, and will send a download link to testers later this week.

JeffElkins · 11-25-2008, 10:41 AM

Thanks UK downloaders for your feedback! I'll release the finished version later this week.

JeffElkins, my reader battery won't hold charge and also the volume button is loose; I just spoke to Sony support and they decided to replace the reader. I'm mailing it to them tomorrow. What is the best way to remove the PRSCustomizer? I have my contact information in the setting and since the volume button is loose, I was unable to do a hard reset. I saw a Restore Defaults in the Settings menu but nothing happened when I press it and the bookmark button. Since I'm getting a new reader, I need to restore it before I send it back to Sony tomorrow.

Thanks
