As porkupan has told you:

He has also given to you (somewhere, I can't remember where just now) the full explanation of this solution, and one other option, i.e., to bind mount the font folder with some other folder containing your desired fonts.
Yes he did and I'm grateful for that.
I read there that mount -bind method to overwrite the system is not reliable method, the post said it need some apk to be installed to remount every time a device is restarted. That's why I've decided to go with modifying cramfs file for system fonts.

I'm trying to implement 1st option.

1st thing I need to do is to get fonts cramfs file to external microSD to transfer it later to PC to modify it.

I've made the following: Entered into recovery mode by using the app "@Test Mode"
Then, started Terminal emulator and typed the command

dd if=/dev/mmcblk2p5 of=/mnt/sd/mmcblk2p5_fonts.img

the result was

dev/mmcblk2p5: cannot open for read: No such file or directory

Apparently my device path is different ?!
