First, sorry for my poor english

I just got my brand new zune yesterday.

Disassembled it, connect its harddisk to my computer and put some font files into system partition.

As mentioned in the my last post, zune properly display non-US character (see the above image, there's korean and japanese).

I couldn't understand why on the earth MS did not install non-US character fonts. -_-;

Before disassemble my zune, I tried to change zune's firmware file which downloaded from MS's server by changing hosts file.

But, the firmware cabinet file seems to have a digital signature.

Hmm. cab (computer side + may be zune side too) + bin (zune side?) double signature check?

So, I could not upload firmware cabinet file that altered to include non-US font files.

If once we have a hack method to access to the zune's system partition, make the zune to support unicode character will be a piece of cakes.
