Although the change is related to dictionary font-family, it will affect anyone who uses this patch. So, anyone who has stored their own customised version of the patch will need to take a fresh copy before re-applying their customisations.

Compare your old customisations with the commented-out examples at the end of the patch to see whether you'll need to tweak your custom code.
My device is GloHD running firmware 4.38.21908.

I am trying to add a font for the custom built English-Malayalam language dictionary, which I have been using for few years. I tried two sideloaded fonts but couldn't make it work.

Code:
  # Un-comment ONE ONLY of the following 4 ReplaceString examples
  #- ReplaceString: {Offset: 54, Find: "%4, serif ",             Replace: "sans-serif",             MustMatchLength: yes}
  #- ReplaceString: {Offset: 54, Find: "%4, serif             ", Replace: "'KBJ-TsukuMin Pr6N RB'", MustMatchLength: yes}
  #- ReplaceString: {Offset: 54, Find: "%4, serif             ", Replace: "'KBJ-TsukuMin Pr6N RB'", MustMatchLength: yes}
  #- ReplaceString: {Offset: 54, Find: "%4, serif            ",  Replace: "'KBJ-UDKakugo Pr6N M'",  MustMatchLength: yes}
  #- ReplaceString: {Offset: 54, Find: "%4, serif       ",       Replace: "'AR UDJingxihei'",       MustMatchLength: yes}
  
  #- ReplaceString: {Offset: 54, Find: "%4, serif ",             Replace: "Keraleeyam",             MustMatchLength: yes}
  - ReplaceString: {Offset: 54, Find: "%4, serif            ", Replace: "'Noto Sans Malayalam'", MustMatchLength: yes}
The dictionary displays proper Malayalam text if I change the book font to any of the sideloaded Malayalam unicode font.

Any advice, please?
