Last sentence is hurting me personally, as I've dug into Java code to find out how
precisely USE_ALT_FONTS works and behaves, because there wasn't any description of this thing ATM and I wanted to describe it completely (and I did it). Though I was lucky enough to discover it on 5.1.x, where Java code wasn't so horribly obfuscated yet. Also note that major underlying part of USE_ALT_FONTS method is related to Fontconfig which have extensive documentation.
OTOH, I don't know how jailbreak for recent PW "works", because I didn't look into assembly, where
ixtab was looking. But I have high-level techincal description that
ixtab provided and it's enough for me.
I understand that it wasn't personal attack, so I'm not claiming any damages from your wordings. But USE_ALT_FONTS method already have some myths connected to it (requirement of full restart, for example), so, please, don't add your expert judgement's weight to it's misleading image of black magic thing.
