some corrections:
I thought "Compressed ROMFS" refers to "cromfs", but I am wrong, it's actually "cramfs".
Now I generate "zh-Hant.font" using mkcramfs and with some progress, the file now stays in system/fonts and is not deleted by kinlde. However, I still can't see new font added. Maybe I need to add pre-generated fontconfig cache for my font, but I have no clue how to do that at the moment.

I am curious however, does kindle not upgraded to 5.9.2 have "system" folder?

As for the file check, since the font update is independent of system update, such check should be self-contained. The question is the directories specified in "02-zh-Hans.conf", are they already in kindle or automatically generated from this file?
