Chinese on PRS350
Hi, my reader spoilt and I'm looking to buy a new one. PRS350 caught my eyes but it doesn't have chinese support. However, I have read about and there are ways where you can actually make it support chinese (汉化)
I wonder anyone in the forum has done it? If yes, can you please please help me see if my txt documents work? I only read chinese .txt files and if it doesn't work, it is obsolete! I read somewhere that while it can be opened, the page numbers and all that are all screwed and one page doesn't lead properly to the next. Help would be very very much appreciated! |

What's the problem
There are 2 different sets of font in Sony PRS: 1) Used for LRF, TXT (RTF, but I wouldn't use RTF unless I'm forced to). TXT files should be UTF-8 encoded. (I think PDF viewer also uses those, never checked) 2) Used by EPUB viewer Standard fonts DO NOT CONTAIN ANY ALPHABETS besides western european in standard firmware (PRS+ comes with Cyrillic, Georgian, Greek alphabets) To change fonts for LRF/TXT you need
To change EPUB fonts you have several options
