There's basically a List for which fonts the TypeGenius modifications will be applied to in the firmware. If you rename one of the fonts in your font directory (any font at all) to use one of the names in that list, it will get used instead of the built-in font - then you will be able to apply the TypeGenius settings to it!

If modifying the firmware to include the names of the Fonts we use (Minion, Charis SIL, etc) will allow the TypeGenius settings to be applied to them, that would be amazing! Unfortunately I have no idea how to do it/test it
Rename the fonts with TypeLight 3.2. It's free. BTW, the renaming trick doesn't work with 2.5.2 and earlier. May also only work with fonts that are encrypted/obfuscated. Adobe or IDPF obfustication doesn't work.
