My current "knowledge state" is:
- IF you have the modified freetype library installed, you should uninstall it before updating (though you can re-install it after the update if you want).
- other than that, the update does not cause problems, even if fonthack is installed.
- after the update, your previous font settings *will* have survived. In general, this means that custom fonts continue to work (not always though. In case they don't, you'll simply get the default fonts).
- however, there is no simple way to change the custom font settings for the time being (because the Kindle bitches about incompatibilities with the application; I have sorted these out with the upcoming version).
As said, I'm currently looking into these things, and there will soon be an update. Until then, just "live with it", i.e., with all the oddities you may get.
The bottom line for now is: font hack may (usually), or may not (occasionally), continue to work on the new firmware. At least it doesn't seem to horribly break anything.
