Incidently, it'd be cool if EBookDroid let the user choose a different font 
from the original to display a PDF, as some PDFs choose less legible fonts, 
which is a bigger issue when read on such small screens.

Thank you.

EBookDroid actually do support different font packs. Please install and choose 
in settings one from market or create your own

Thanks for the info. I'll download a font, check it in EBD's Settings, and see 
if that solves the problem.

I can recommend you to use Legacy or Numbus font pack - they has glyphs most 
suitable for Adobe specifications.

Thanks. I found that Legacy font pack is offered by EBookDroid:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ebookdroid.fontpack.legacy

But Google didn't help with Numbus/Nimbus. Do you know where I can find it?

NimbusL fonts are part of Legacy font pack.
All font packs are there:

And also all font packs locations are listed on the main page of the EBookDroid 
project.

However, after downloading and installing the two APK files, I didn't find
where to tell EDB to use those fonts instead:

Book Settings: Nothing font-related

All Settings > Format specific: (Monospace, Sans font, Serif font, Symbol
font, Dingbat font) family: Can only choose "Default Android fonts".

After installing fontpack run it. It will install and unpack fonts. Android do 
not allow to autorun package after installing.

Sorry, I did click on each file followed with "Install"

I also tried Apps > All > EBD : Force Stop, then reclicked on it: I still
can't choose other fonts than the default Android fonts.

Maybe I'm doing it all wrong
