Has anyone tried?

Just to, make sure I understand:
The fonts in KoboRoot/usr/local/Trolltech/…/fonts/ are (since a recent firmware) encrypted.
Overwriting them with non-encrypted font files with Kobopatch:
1. does that even work? I mean, does KoboPatch overwrite them (assuming I pass in a font file with the same filename)?
2. if it does overwrite, will the unencrypted font file "just work"?
3. if not, what happens? and 3a. how to recover from it if need be?

Not sure I (or any of you) feel like factory resetting a device to find out eh? haha

Would be good to know both for those who need special character for reading/ui in their language, and those who want to use special characters in UI patches/NickelMenus (UTF-8 has lots of little goodies… and thinking of swapping out Avenir and Georgia with some renamed "NerdFonts" myself:

p.s.:
Here are the fonts in the Libra Color firmware. They are not encrypted…
