Back then it was a good way of giving your main GUI a face-lift if you added your favourite serif and sans-serif fonts to your /fonts directory by renaming them (internally and externally) as Georgia and 'Avenir Next' respectively.

It's no longer the 'best' way to to customise GUI fonts, but it worked fairly well. There are a couple of minor drawbacks but it's safe and it does survive firmware upgrades.

If it's something you're interested in I can try to find the thread where we discussed GUI fonts in some detail.
