I changed my Windows timezone to one that was an hour ahead (Amsterdam), re-connected my reader and synced with libprs500 and that worked. I guess that because my timezone was set to GMT but we're in Daylight Savings Time time at the moment, things got a little confused. |

Indeed. My Timezone is set to GMT (London, etc) - as there isn't a BST timezone option, and then the checkbox to allow observe DST is checked.
If I then sync the reader the reader time is set to one hour earlier then my PC time. If I then change only the timezone to be one that is one hour ahead of GMT and then sync the reader, the time on the reader is then correct (but I guess its internal timezone is wrong). Note this is on Vista - I haven't tried XP or anything. |

Bear in mind that the Reader runs on Linux. Which, like all Unixen (Unices? ) keeps the real time clock on GMT, then adds the time zone and DST corrections before displaying it. Windows, on the other hand, adds (/subtracts) the corrections to(/from) the RTC itself... |

Ah, well then.
I like "Unixies" as a plural for Unix. |

If I'm not mistaking the Reader goes back to the state it was when connected the last time to the Connect software. So before flashing it's good to connect it to your PC and start Connect. That way he should remember where it left of in your book(s). |

I've read through the thread and the readme file. Can I rename any font (i.e., I like Georgia) to tt0003m_.ttf or something like that?

Just a note of caution here. If you use a font with very different metrics from the default font, certain parts of the LRF may have their formatting ruined. Tables are the best example of this.

There are actually three fonts in the Reader. With the 7mb limitation in mind, you could pick the most frequent ~ 2,000 characters and put them only in one of the three fonts. It could possibly work for basic Korean or Japanese but I understand that you need much more characters for Chinese, right?
