Spoiler:
Code:
<Patch>
patch_name = `Modify system font list (Rockwell)`
patch_enable = `yes`
replace_string = C35838, `R`, `V`
replace_string = C3583A, `o`, `o`
replace_string = C3583C, `c`, `l`
replace_string = C3583E, `k`, `l`
replace_string = C35840, `w`, `k`
replace_string = C35842, `e`, `o`
replace_string = C35844, `l`, `r`
replace_string = C35846, `l`, `n`
</Patch>
Thanks for this tip, Geoff. I was able to reclass 7 of my favourite custom fonts as system fonts with enabled Advanced button using this new method on my AuraHD with v3.11. It seems to work OK, only time will tell

I live in hope that someone will have a Eureka moment to restore the full `Freedom to advanced fonts control`patch to its former glory, but in the meantime this is not so bad.
