I'd like to see Amazon officially support custom fonts as well--or even unofficially--such as by allowing the "Use_Alt_Fonts" trick. I really don't see what that hurts--only the more serious users who go to places such as mobileread to learn all they can about their devices will use the trick and those who just want to use their Kindles as is with no mods will be perfectly happy.

I can see why Amazon might not want to officially support the "Use_Alt_Fonts" trick--if they officially supported it, they'd probably be peppered with questions from casual users who can't get it to work. But, I don't see any reason why they don't just leave it in there as an undocumented feature--available to more sophisticated users.
