I got the same kind of problem on my PRS 600

The following example of feeds should reproduce this problem:

Yahoo! 新聞
http://www.feedbooks.com/newspaper/112
defined with EN language

LinuxTOY
http://www.feedbooks.com/newspaper/1378
defined with ZH language

Is this problem just me? Have I installed the wrong fonts?
I am able to get other Chinese documents to work.

I got the same kind of problems with my Chinese ePub. It looks like only embedded ePub can be supported in PRS 600. Please correct me if I am worng.

PRS600 cannot use default Chinese font to display Chinese in ePub

The problem with Sony PRS 600, as I know it, is that, even my default font has been changed to Chinese fonts, it still cannot display Chinest text in ePub; it can display Table of Contents in Chinese.

This may indicate that the PRS 600 is set to embedded font; and default font will not be used.
