I don't know. I didn't bother to look inside 5.3.1 USE_ALT_FONTS handling code, as Java code in PW firmware is horribly obfuscated and no joy (more precisely, it's complete nightmare) to work with. If it doesn't work at all, then so be it.

However, mentioning of requirement of full system restart and JBPatch installing is scaring me. They are certainly not required at all. This method is not a black magic based on random actions, it has solid technical foundation, so, please, don't spread any myths springing from anecdotal case (it's a message to the general public).
