I know about these fonts:

Unfortunately, this is a good question. Just before SDK development went into limbo, there were significant changes to the font names.

This is probably the closest thing to an official announcement.

This should also be useful.

If you're using the Fitbit sim on Windows, you can see the font files in 

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\@fitbitsimulator\resources\static\devicesim\win\atlas\Resources\fonts

The font file names won't exactly match the font name strings that you need to specify in your app, but you should be able to marry them up.

There are also mappings from the old font names to the new font names, so some measure of backward compatibility is provided. This means you can use the old font names and will get an equivalent new font. It would be better not to rely on this, if you can avoid it.

I do have a bunch of notes about the font changes, but they're a mess and I can't test things any more. But if you have a specific question, I'll try to decipher them.
