The problem is that no one has the formats of the restore updates. Strike that -- the format is likely the same as normal, except with an "FB" instead of "FC" and it will likely require an image to overwrite your root filesystem with -- the restore updates don't run scripts. It's not worth the dangers involved for anyone with a functioning Kindle to test, but if yours is bricked, then it might be worth it.

If you're on a K2I or a KDX, and you installed the screensaver hack, then you could still be in luck. It has the ability to execute a shell script named "emergency_rescue.sh" in your usb partition before it tries to load framework. This is where you'd create a script like:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
mntroot rw
fix the fonts (and or font.properties) you broke
mntroot ro
And then let the kindle try to boot normally (no holding the home button). If you didn't install the screensaver hack, or another anti-brick method, then you're out of luck, and you need to just call amazon or try creating a restore bin. Jean Yves has a clean root image on his k2i page that you could use, and the rest of the info to make the update should be on this forum and igorsk's blog.
