FBReader: cannot change fonts (PB Pro 602 with fw 2.0.6)

I am a newbie who wants to read Arabic. Per instructions from pocketbook-usa, I upgraded to the Arabic firmware 2.0.5 and then to 2.0.6. There was an improvement in reading Arabic, but it still looks lousy because FBReader uses the wrong font. When I follow the instructions and try to change the font in the FBReader Configuration (by clicking on the OK button, and then "Settings"), the font does NOT change. If I reboot the device, this makes no difference.

Am I doing something wrong? Or (as I suspect) is this a bug in the FBReader Configuration under fw 2.0.6?

Things that might help:
Try changing the font size after choosing a different font.
Verify the new font is indeed selected by going into the options again and seeing what font is selected.
Try going to the main menu and back, and check the font selection again.
Try manually selecting the encoding type in options and repeat previous actions to detect/trigger the changes.

if J.C.'s suggestions do not work, try also opening a different book - I had the same problem with one file, but then could customise with another one. I think the fonts might have been embedded in the "unchangeable" file, but I am no geek and it might be something else. Anyhow, worth a try if you are stuck.

I tried all your suggestions both with the Arabic epub I added and with one of the books in English that came loaded with the machine. The problem remains: the font is not being changed. I also tried changing encodings (automatic, UTF8, IS)--8859-8, and even Cyrillic), and I notice that none of the encoding changes have any effect either. The font size change does take hold, but all the documents I have tried remain in the ugly default font (Liberation Sans?).

I'm 99% sure it is a bug, and I called pocketbook-usa to report it. Any suggestions on bug-reporting? Would it help to have my Russian-speaking wife send a bug report on the Russian forum? (I notice Google Translate is not good enough for this sort of thing.)

Yes, posting a request for help in the Russian forums is more likely to garner an official response.

After playing with this FW2.0.6, the pocket news are really really BUGGY!!!, When i exit the pocket news using the exit button (the one to the left of the round button) the screen goes interlaced with the home screen. You can see the news plus the home screen all at the same time, creating a real messy display.!!

Note taking is not reliable!! some times start text is missing!!!


The rendering of book look better for epub, it will retain the original formatting of the book, not as adobeviewer , but much better.
