I will have to edit my configuration files, right?
I used nimbues 14 on H300, since I dind't know how to load other fonts for other screens I am not sure about the HD spinning.
I will try again your with your patch later.
The idea seems right, but a font slector gui must be created.

Add the appropriate line to the theme .cfg file (wpsfont for the WPS
font) and reload the theme. Example:
# Testing theme
wps: /.rockbox/wps/iAmp.wps
browserfont: /.rockbox/fonts/proportional.fnt
wpsfont: /.rockbox/fonts/nimbus-12.fnt
menufont: /.rockbox/fonts/snap.fnt
tunerfont: /.rockbox/fonts/atadore.fnt
statusbar: on
rwps: /.rockbox/wps/iAmp.rwps

I haven't seen any of these errors on my builds (certainly not the
scrolling bug). What device are you using? All existing font code is
reused (including glyph cache), if a font is less than 10k it is loaded
into memory, otherwise the glyph cache is used.
Also, what fonts are you using? Perhaps if you're using large unicode
fonts it might cause the HD to spin up whenever changing fonts
(reloading the glyph cache maybe?). However even when I tested
unifont.fnt I didn't notice anything like that. Screen changing has been
instantaneous in my experience.
thanks for testing,
