Change display font

Hey how do I put a .ttf file on my phone and use it as the display font? Type Fresh lets me change the system fonts but the system fonts don't show up in the settings - display - font...
Thanks!

From my little understanding of fonts. The phone is technically only capable of one font and when you change it with and app or manually it overrides the default font with the new font by changing its name to the default fonts name and replacing it. The font apps make a backup of the original.
I think.

This is correct, as Android's general UI predominantly relies on DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf within the /system/fonts folder. If you are rooted, you can copy the fonts in there yourself. I particularly like Segoe UI and Helvetica Neue.
I do the following via ADB:
- adb remount
- adb push fontname.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf
- adb push fontname.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf
- adb reboot
Alternatively, if you have Root Explorer, you can use that to copy the font to that folder from your /sdcard. Remember to boot after changing the font for it to take effect.
Good luck.

[Q] Changing of font for lockscreen?

I'm on SLIM ICS (SGS) and I'm not able to change the font of the lockscreen time (clocktopia?) among many things. I have tried doing this through font changer and manually renaming and changing the permissions. Both gave me bootloops. Anyone has successfully done this?
My fonts are of .tff extension.

I can't be the only one with this issue...right?

Hi
Is it possible to change the font from default?
Fonts from themes doesn't work, any ideas ?

For some reason is diabled by default to change font type. Found a way to select (if you install them) which font in my question here
go to android sdk open adb shell and type
adb shell settings put system hw_hide_font_style false
reboot and look in display options for font style.

Twrp Cannot flash change system font

My Redmi 8 with latest eu rom(android 10) cannot change system font after flashing font zip from twrp. I cannot also change system font from Root Explorer.
How can I do that.

You don't need to do any of that.
Change device region to India, reboot, go to the Themes app, install and apply the font of your choice, reboot, change region back to your own, reboot.
