Since we are assured the official fix is well on the way, probably not a good idea. After all, we've no idea whether the DIY fix may cause unforeseen problems down the line. I'm prepared to live with the risk on 1 of my 2 Kobos, but now, with the benefit of hindsight, I'm not sure I'd recommend others do it.

I still think that letting this problem fester for several fw revisions (all since 2.1.5 ???) was a bad management decision. Losing 3 of the advertised TypeGenius-aware built-in fonts is a big percentage. Especially for those preferring to read in sans-serif, who lost both of the only 2 available.
