In using the Universal Flasher - i am guessing that you only have to include the files you are actually changing?
My guess is that it creates an image by checking whatever is on the reader and adding/overwriting any files included in the SD Card? So, if I wanted to change the LeftJoystick back to History instead of previous page all I would include is the new file with changes? |

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10902 on #13 I already got a solution for Chinese support: http://www.hi-pda.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=361320 It is in Chinese, if you can't read, just check the pics there My solution is: Copy glyphs from Chinese fonts to the original tt0003m_.ttf and tt0011m_.ttf, then it does work perfect. PS: tt0003m_.ttf is used for file name, book title and BBeB viewer tt0011m_.ttf is used for TXT If the modified tt0003m_.ttf and tt0011m_.ttf totally are not more than 4MB in size, they could be flashed into Reader and get any language support for your Reader if you like. |

If you put the card in the Reader, and connect the reader to your PC via USB cable, and fire up the ConnSoft, it'll let you drop files directly on the card -- I think that's what he's referring to. But I'm guessing that it won't be too attractive a solution to you.

Can I use this tool to change the default font for txt files? I want to set it to something like 16pt tt0003m_.ttf (Swis721 BT Roman). The factory default looks like 10pt tt0011m_.ttf (Dutch801 Rm BT Roman). Thanks

Several others have done so, Ken. There's a discussion of things to watch out for toward the beginning of the thread, but I think the main things are that you have to name the replacement font exactly the same thing as the original (both the font file name, and its internal name), and you have to replace it in both the Reader and ConnSoft's directories. I'd look back for the exact details, though, apparently it's picky.

Is it possible to display next chapter's page?
I've been enjoying the patches here quite a bit (I even tweaked the joystick page flip so that "Up" will get me back to the last displayed page in case I accidentally press one of the page number buttons).
One thing I've wished I could do with the reader is have the page count display include the end of the chapter- or the 1st page of the next chapter. I do a lot of reading aloud to my kids from my reader and like to know how many pages I have to go so I can speed up if needed. Anyone think this is possible? |

Thanks, NatCh. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your reply, but I don't want to put a new font on the Reader. I just want to change which of the preinstalled fonts the Reader uses for text files...

I would assume that you could do that, but I don't think it's been specifically discussed. At a guess, you'd have to identify in the XML where it specifies the font it uses for TXT files and change it there. But you probably already figured that much. |

When you read a text file, are not one of the other two font sizes suitable?

I really prefer the sans serif font to the serif font on the Reader screen though, and a larger default size. If there was some not-too-painful way to change the default font for text files, then I could use txt files and still get most of the benefit of rtf. The other thing I like about rtf is being able to specify the metadata, but I figure I can write something to update the cache.xml file for txt files with sensible author/title info parsed from the filename.
