The files.505.1.1.00.18040\opt\sony\ebook\FONT\ folder is used to add fonts used by LRF and the system. For details on how to change the font for LRF files check out this MobileRead thread. This thread tells you how to format and rename your font so it will work on your system. Here is the factory default and the prepared free fontin font for use on the reader. free fontin source
Epub file fonts
To change the default fonts for ePub books:
Create the directory /fonts/ in the root of your internal memory.
Place your fonts in this directory
My fonts directory has the following three fonts in it:
/fonts/Fontin-Regular.ttf
/fonts/Fontin-Bold.ttf
/fonts/Fontin-Italic.ttf
3. Create a style.css file in /database/system/PRSPlus/epub/style.css
My style.css is currently
@font-face {
font-family: "Fontin";
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin-Regular.ttf);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "Fontin";
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin-Bold.ttf);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "Fontin";
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin-Italic.ttf);
}
body {
font-family: "Fontin", serif;
widows: 0;
orphans: 0;
}
/*
To increase ePub font size Remove rem slashes surrounding the paragraph and division statements below. Then adjust percentage, try 105% to start. This should work on all books using epub including books coded with drm that you can't convert using Calibre to increase the font size.
*/
/*
p {font-size:105%}
div {font-size:105%}
*/
/*
If your lines in your epub are too close together you can remove the rem slashes around the below paragraph and division statements below.
*/
/*
p {
line-height: 130%
}
div {
line-height: 130%
}
*/
Warning, the above instructions break epub's which use their own internal fonts, including those that use them so that they have access to central european characters. The above instructions will make these books unreadable, even if the font you choose (such as fontin) does have the right characters.
If anyone want change the default font and uses the Sony Reader Library program, you'll have to put your modified font on the Sony Reader Library installation folder or it will mess with the pages flow when you copy a book to your reader using it.
I tried this because I don't like the left justification in epubs but the sony default font for lrfs files is a bit ugly.
Is it possible to repartition the device to a single partition and then install the firmware? I'd like to reclaim the "Settings" partition if possible. Thanks
How can i remove this from my reader (950SC), i have done hard-reset too many times, but it shows up randomly sometime when i restarted, sometime it doesnt show up. C'mon, there should be away to remove completely this.
1) At the end of the installation you are warned about "safe mode", when model is connected to USB PRS+ does not start. 2) There are uninstallers' for every model in Download section. (hard to get how one could download PRS+ without noting there is bunch of uninstallers)
This is NOT a support thread, if you have further questions, use one of the options mentioned in "support" link from the main page.
I didn't really realize from reading this installation guide, maybe it should be updated to include the information that you can make several .css files, with several different fonts in your fonts folder and switch easily between fonts. When you do this, you don't want to name one of your .css files style.css as that file appears to get wiped out once you use a different font, and try to go back to the default style.css (goes back to Sony fonts). So now I have Caecilia.css, NimbusMod?.css and LexiaDaMa?.css, and can switch between them according to my fancy.
Hi Folks, awesome - really improved the look n feel of my PRS600, but the installation instructions i a smidge sparse? For me anyway :) Anywho, for Windows 7 there is a much easier way to turn off UAC than by messing around with the registry, thought I'd share it.
Turning off UAS for Windows 7:
1. Click Start->enter "uac" in search programs bar 2. Click on "Change User Account Controls Settings" 3. Adjust the slider so it at the bottom where it says "Never Notify" 4. Then connect your PRS, run the run.bat script 5. A black command window will appear and launch the Sony Updater Software. 6. After follow the readme / gui defaults.
Should be noted if you get the black command window, with no output, this is the UAC blocking the program, you wont get any notification thats happening, it just is :)

I just upgraded my prs-300 to the 10.alpha version, worked fine, thanks for the hard work.
I changed the default book font to Fontin following this guide:

You can use this startup-script http://code.google.com/p/prs-plus/downloads/detail?name=prsp.sh&can=1&q= to be placed in /database/systemPRSPlus/ to earease all settings and force standard-settings. Script will be executed on restart w/o connection to USB
