Smile [All] Permanently fix unicode fonts in firmware of Kobo - Including 4.32

Hi, I found a way to get rid of flaw display of Unicode fonts on the Kobo device after restarting. Even though the display can be rectified by picking one book, then return to home screen but I somehow feel that Kobo devices are inferior compared with those of Kindle in this aspect. Especially on 4.32, flaw display still appears on home screen despite fonts are side-loaded.

Here's the trick: Replacing Avenir and georgia from the official firmware will fix this flaw permanently (for Unicode problem). I think this can be applied for other language but did not test by myself. Having tested with Vietnamese which requires Unicode, I found the result is perfect for me.

Made a video myself:

Tools required:
WinRAR
7-zip
Official firmware
