UPDATE:
Yes, you *can* trick the update software to update the font files for you. No need to open the case and do the hard drive swap.
I used the same process used to 'downgrade' to older versions of the firmware, but added the .TTC files as well. There are many different methods (found months ago).
----
AFAIK: nobody has released a public tool to downgrade the firmware (AFAIK I was the first to do it, and since then a few people bragged about it, and several people started working on a replacement version to get around the ZUNE.EXE dependence).
Anybody have a tool (nearly) ready for public release ?
If not I'll probably polish up my version and release it to the unwashed masses.

IMHO this is only a marginally interesting hack. The real pay-dirt is if we can use the technique to find an exploit to make homebrew a reality.
