What you should know, before you startThere are 2 different sets of font in Sony PRS:
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, in addition to standard) To change fonts for LRF/TXT you need
mount --bind /Data/fonts /opt/sony/ebook/FONT put it into "/database/system/PRSPlus/prsp.sh" file (create missing directories) or grab existing file here. Remark for PRS-600 and x50 model:Original font-folder holds a symlink to "SWNMTeb.ttc" http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1808148&postcount=7 With this file/link missing dictionary will not show any result.

You should make two additions for clarity:
1. in the default configuration of the prsp.sh file, the custom fonts folder should be located in the root of the PRS mounted volume. I.e. at the same level as the database folder, and should be named "fonts" (all lowercase, without the quotes).
2. The new custom fonts will not appear on-screen until you shut down your reader (via the advanced menu, not via the button on the top of the device - that only puts it to sleep mode) and reboot it.
