Question How about periodical titles?

Sans_Bold.ttf: Used in the menus, in the top & bottom panel, and as the collection title when browsing a collection, and the inline text in the book & collection browsers (ie. the 'delete this item' stuff & co)
Sans_Italic.ttf: May be used alongside Sans_Regular or Sans_Bold somewhere ^^
Sans_BoldItalic.ttf: Used in the book list, for the collection names

Serif_*.ttf: Used in the reader, that's the font your books will be rendered with.
Serif_Bold.ttf: Used in the book & collection browser for the book title & author. (NOTE: For these purposes, Serif_Regular is used instead on FW 3.x)

Mono_*.ttf: AFAICT, nowehere except in the browser, but I may be mistaken.

And since v3.8.N, on FW 3.x:

CJK.ttf: Used for Chinese/Japanese/Korean.
I18N.ttf: Last fallback for non-latin & non-cjk scripts.
Hi, I've installed the font hack on my Kindle 3 and it works very well on books with Chinese content. However, I recently try to read some periodicals(news from RSS feeds composed by Calibre) with Chinese titles which are displayed as boxes. I guess this is because the Mono_Bold/Serif_Bold/Sans_Bold and etc. contain only Latin characters but if they are replaced with a Unicode font(Droid_fallback), Kindle 3 fails to open the periodical.

Any ideas?
