Fonts on EZReader
I'm sure this has been asked before. Where does one get fonts to add to the EZReader. I don't like the fonts supplied. My Bookeen Opus has a better font but it does not state what type it is. I find the font on my Opus is darker and the one on my pocket pro much lighter. The font used on the Opus is not listed other than as default font.

viewing fonts
I get mine from Windows Vista. c:\windows\fonts\

and I use FontExplorer freeware to preview them. http://www.moonsoftware.com/fxplorer.asp

Then create a folder \fonts\ on the SD card and drag whatever fonts you want into that folder.

I know txt and rtf formats support changing to a user selected font via thePP. I just wish I could figure out how to change fonts in .pdf though.

I'm pretty sure that cannot be done. Your best option is to convert the PDF to something else that will allow you to use CSS, like HTML, EPUB, or FB2.

Good luck!

MOBI/PRC format will allow you use your own font. This is reason I bought my Pocket Pro

They have to be named a certain way to show up though.

Example:

genbas (Regular)
genbasbd (Bold)
genbasbi (Bold Italic)
genbasi (Italic)

It seems the font must have all four parts: Regular, Bold, Bold Italic, and Italic to work. I leave mine all lower case and no spaces.
You can only have 5 custom fonts to choose from so I rotate mine often.
My favorite font is Gentium Book Basic. It's plenty dark for me but I read in Zoom 3 with my books.
