Well, maybe ine the metamorph thread by djengizz or i think that's his name..and if someone has made one, you might find it there. But if someone hasn't made one, you can always install a font thru terminal or figure out how to make a metamorph and then make the metamorph of the font you want. What font are you looking for anyway?
Add this to your .thm file along with a fonts folder with the new fonts inside...
Code:
fonts.cpy
/system/fonts/

nice fonts, and how to use them

Hi,
How to use custom fonts on the HTC hero?
And what are some nice ones?

that's a nice font. just replace the fonts beginning with "DroidSans" in "/system/fonts/"
(you will need to rename the font with the DroidSans file names)

[Q] How to change the lockscreen's font?

I'm just asking how to change the lockscreen (LG one) font to another, liike Roboto...
system->font folder -> clockopia.ttf is the clock font.
mm so I just rename the roboto font to clocktopia.ttf?
yes...ANY font you want as the clock font, just rename it to clockopia.ttf
for system font change, it's DroidSans.ttf (although, i think you know that)
dude XD he means LOCKscreen not clock of course I don't know how to do that, but I'm pretty sure it has to be something like that but for the lockscreen perhaps is the same as system? so if you change system font it will change lockscreen font too??
Eh I rename Roboto to Clockopia and got Bootloop Nevermind. I do w/ Roboto font XD

No one can help
You can actually rename the font (in ttf format) into the system font's name (in /system/fonts) and replace it with the right permissions...or replace the font files (rename it first of course) in a working cwm font zip with yours and flash it (safer and better method)...

You can install it as a normal app and choose as default rom via Settings>Display>Font
you can use search to look for fonts

so the thread link which i have given, i can download jb fonts and rename it and replace in the rom right. can it be done with any .ttf font file. But one confusion , my present have 13 font files but jb fonts file have only 12 so can i replace 12 and delete the rest.
Just replace the ones that can be replaced...leave the one that has no replacement there......this can be done with any ttf file...

Change font in CM10.1

Anyone know how to change the font on CM10.1? please .
You need bold and regular variant of same font, simple rename won't work because font files have special tags inside. Put them properly named in/system/media/fonts
Reading should have solved this problem too...
