This method will allow contents of ePubs to display in whatever font you desire. The system font remains western so titles and table of contents will not show if they are Chinese.

Just download the firmware from the above link.

PART1: We will update the firmware that allows ePubs to reference any fonts we choose:

1.) Plug in PRS950 & extract the download above to a folder (ie: C:\temp)
2.) Start Menu-> RUN (you shud see a new window titled "RUN")
3.) in the RUN window, type CMD
4.) a command prompt should open
5.) go to the folder you extracted to (ie: cd C:\temp)
6.) type flash_reader.bat
7.) follow the on screen instructions
8.) once complete, unplug & soft reset the PRS 950

PART 2: We install the font and tell the system about it

1.) Plug the PRS and copy the extracted fonts into the X:\epub/FONT/ (X being the READER drive)

tt0003m_.ttf (modified)
ttoo11m_.ttf (modified)
tt0419m_.ttf (undodified)

2.) Inside X:\epub, rename the existing userStyle.css to userStyle.css.BAK

3.) open the useStyle.css.BAK with a text editor (notepad) and replace it with the following:

@font-face {
font-family: -ua-default;
src:url(res:///Data/epub/FONT/tt0011m_.ttf);
}

@font-face {
font-family: "sans-serif1";
src:url(res:///Data/epub/FONT/tt0003m_.ttf);
}

h1 {
font-family: sans-serif1, sans-serif;
}

3. use save as, and save this file as userStyle.css

4. After you do all above, load a Chinese epub file to your reader and test it out.

please ask Hi-PDA to create a PRS950 firmware with chinese system font. Localization of menus aren't necessary, but at least be able to read titles and table of contents.
