Has anyone had luck changing fonts on PRS-700?
I've managed to change the fonts in the eBook library on my computer so books display with better fonts. But I'd really rather change them on my PRS-700. I tried the steps in the Guide to changing fonts and flashing and it didn't work.
Is there any way I can change fonts on my reader so that ALL my files can be viewed in my preferred font? I know I can make PDF's, ePub files and such with my preferred formatting/fonts. but...I have some LRX files that are really difficult to read because the font is so dainty and doesn't have enough contrast. How can I change those on my device so I can read them more easily? |

But you have a PRS-700 and I'm not sure PRSCustomizer (used for the flashing process) supports it. And there is no way of changing the default fonts on the device other than flashing the Reader. |

Valloric and Jeff:
Thank you! I just tried it and am fixing to dive into my nice, clean, Ariel font books. I had not tried this because I was afraid it would be too hard, but it worked out great. |

A lot of people seem to be afraid of this procedure, when in fact it's ridiculously simple. The guide is very thorough and detailed and covers practically every problem you could encounter.

I found a caecilia font on the web here: http://trac.dey.fcny.org/browser/con...s/caecilia.ttf and it appears to be free. I wonder if a) it will work & b) its supposed to be out there. its only like 68K so I wonder if its all there
Edit: to answer my own question, I think it has the main caecilia, but is missing alot as well. Last edited by volwrath; 03-18-2009 at 09:32 PM. |

Looks like there's only the normal style, not italic, bold and bold italic.

In anycase I initially went with Arial for a while, and then switched to Constantia as I could not take it. It did appear from my playing that simply changing the fonts in the sony reader directory was not enough to repaginate. I even opened the book in the ebook library and it it didnt repaginate. For one of my books I had to pull it off the reader and put it back on with calibre. Wonder if there could be created a script in PRSCustomizer, repaginate current book. Thanks for your tut! |

Now I have a question: Can I use PRSCustomizer to somehow increase the default font sizes? |

Thats a great question. Small is always too small for me and Medium is too small most the time, so I stay on large fonts. A firmware upgrade allowing 4 or more font sizes should not be out of the question.

I loaded caecilia on there and it works! It looks great. No problems, at all. Many thanks!
