The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a large firmware update that replaces the device's font system and, as a consequence, loosens text validation from 'printable ASCII only' to 'valid UTF-8 that the new font can render'. The change is primarily a feature/UX improvement (support for accented European characters and the Euro sign), but it also adds new input-validation checks to make sure unsupported characters cannot be shown on screen. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an active security bug, but the new validation is defensive: it prevents a user from being shown misleading or truncated text on the small OLED screen.

Recommended action

Treat as a significant feature/refactoring commit with defensive security improvements. Reviewers should verify that every user-controlled string path that reaches the display is covered by a `has_glyph` check, that the LVGL font subset and uGUI compatibility layer do not introduce buffer-overread or integer-overflow bugs, and that the new `ttf2lvgl` tool and generated fonts are reproducible. No immediate incident response is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

Input validation now depends on font glyph coverage rather than a fixed printable-ASCII check

02

New `has_glyph` API added to the UI abstraction to reject unsupported display characters

03

Fallback to hex display for messages containing unsupported glyphs

04

Device-name validation moved from pure ASCII to UTF-8 plus per-font glyph check

05

Backup/restore names sanitized against the active font instead of ASCII

06

Payment-request text memos and EIP-712 string fields validated for renderability

07

Large surface-area change: 99 files, new external LVGL dependency, font toolchain change
