HBC has been using UTF-8 in meta files for a while, but only supported the latin-1 subset. The rendering is optimized for the screen resolution in use (4:3 or 16:9) for the best quality (note: this means the fonts will look a bit different between both modes, as they are hinted at different resolutions).
You can use multiple fonts, sizes, and colors, under the control of a. The new renderer uses FreeType to render fonts with kerning and antialiasing, which looks much, much better than the old crummy bitmap font engine.
HBC now has a new font renderer with TTF support. Unfortunately, although HBC itself will work, there’s no way it can make existing homebrew work with it too – authors will have to recompile using the latest libogc SVN. The new RVL-CNT-01-TR Wiimotes are now. Today, we bring you the HackMii Installer v1.0, featuring The Homebrew Channel v1.1.0 and BootMii 1.4. 8 was released 18 months ago, and we’re at over 3.1 million unique installs – that’s 3.4% of all Wiis sold to date, and this is only counting on-line HBC installs! They probably had to trim the firmware to make space for the Motion Plus stuff. The Wiimote itself supported both – until the new RVL-CNT-01-TR model came out, that is. It was using a different method of sending data to the Wiimote. Nobody bothered to check whether the Wii itself was doing the same thing. And yet, nobody though to question the way we were sending the commands. Libraries were developed, and eventually we had support on the Wii itself with the advent of Wii homebrew. You see, way way back in 2006 when the Wii came out, someone figured out that you could send commands to the Wiimote in a certain way. What they came up with was a new Wiimote, which, completely by accident, happens to be incompatible with the previous version of The Homebrew Channel. It wasn’t a new Wii model (though they did release a new Wii, it turns out it works just fine). Recently, Nintendo did break The Homebrew Channel. 
Meanwhile, we waited and waited and for an update to break the current version.
