Check the second message in this thread.  The bootloader is at the bottom of the linked page.

is there some way to cache the unicode font into the rom? or maybe in the future?

if someone can do this, i'd be really really grateful

Maybe I'm missing the point, but why is this important to you?

Unicode font is so big, it has to be loaded from the hdd frequently. So tagcache isn't as effective as only about half the files can be viewed without accessing the hdd

OK, understood, sorry for my stupidity!!  Seems like a very reasonable request!

I believe the developers are considering adapting all screens to be able to be displayed with the user font and only use the sysfont on error messages. Then, they can eliminate some non-ascii letters from the sysfont, reducing the binary size. I believe the user font would be kept in ram and the letters would be loaded from there instead of spinning up the disk.
