Rockwell also has the benefit of being considered as a built-in font, even if you sideload it, so Advanced TypeGenius works with it even if you haven't applied Patches.
I'll have to dig up an older firmware, then, and see if that works. Thanks for the tip.

Edit: Awesome! Worked perfectly! I extracted the font files from the 1.9.12 firmware (which I found thanks to murg's firmware thread), dropped them onto my Aura, and now I have Rockwell again and with advanced font settings. Thanks again!

Edit 2: You say you have a couple of different versions. What are the differences between them, if any?
