Hi,
I changed my font to a different one from the market (some helvetica clone I think).
I didnt like it so uninstalled and changed back to the default android one.
Now I seem to have a problem whereby the font is being made bold in some places where it shouldn't be. Examples of this are in the pull down menu (the data, task names, all of the wifi BT buttons etc) and on my beautful widgets home weather widget.
I've tried changing the font to a different one and then putting it back but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.
The phone is running froyo and is rooted if that makes any difference.
If anyone knows how to fix, that would be great....
I have just stumbled over the same problem. A while ago I was able to "repair" it by changing the fonts and restart the phone. However, this is not possible anymore.
I have attached two screenshots for better understanding. If anyone knows a solution, please tell.

Hi!
Just realized that the font during a call (the name of the person and the time) looks a bit strange. Looks like it's Verdana or similar and very bold. I'm not sure if it has been like this all the time but I really doubt it.
Does your font look like in this screenshot (The parts: "Diana Meyer", "Connected" and "00:29"):

I don't know, if I had the same problem, as you descibed. But my font during call changed too. After some exploring I found out, that I installed some dictionary, that installed its own fonts into windows/fonts folder. Once I deleted the fonts from that folder, the font during call changed to the original one (I lost the special fonts for the dictionary app, but it's usable anyway, so i don't care)...

hello, mate, i've had a long running battle with different fonts and font changing programs on my SEX1i, few suggestions, download some free fonts from net, and put ones you like into windows/fonts folder, then it becomes even more intersting as CommMANAGER takes first SUITABLE font and uses it, so you can basically change it by deleting fonts alphabetically from the top, problem is , that some other programs use same process, so u should choose font that shows numbers as well , and , more importantly in my case, supports other languages, i suggest common windows fonts like book antiqua, georgia, couirier, arial and so forth, oh , and only .TTF fonts seem to work. you can also change font and its SIZE through fwe programs, like SPB Tips And Trix, AdvConfig, STK tools, XperiaTweak 2.0 and probably few others, check them out, but be careful, especially if you are bilingual, cause CommManager shares font with Opera and some dialers, if u need more info - U R WELCOME to drop me a line, as i said, i ve been having an ongoing battle with fonts and font sizes, and tried most options [email protected]
Dear xda-community,
since I did a few things with my phone ( rooted, applied new font, lagfix ) I have a few problems with the display of text.
In some parts of the text, there are question marks in boxes.
Not like they replace real letters, but they are somehow appended to some text, for example for the menu entry of Weather and Toggle Widgets.
Any idea what this could be and how to fix it?
If you want screens or further details just tell me and i'll add it.

Edit: By switching back to the default font, I figured out that it was the custom font. It was called Comfortaa as used here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752200
I used LauncherPro Plus with it and there were those question marks everywhere, maybe someone knows where this comes from, so I could make it work on my device.
Considering how popular PowerAMP is and how long people have went without customization for that program, I find it really strange that a version that supports custom widgets (and anything else that uses the PowerAMP API) has been out for weeks, but I have not seen any custom widgets.
Did I miss anything?
Good question. I've been wondering the same thing and I've searched every other day, no such luck.
Seems like a very popular app, surely some capable people greatly dislike the blue glow or gradients as much as I do... yet cannot deny the efficacy of the app itself!

I'm guessing because it just came out and maybe he hasn't released anything to any developers to help with making skins. You can already download the skins widget for it to get transparent.
Bumping this for more replies.
I tried to edit the apk for personal skinning a while back and for some reason could never get the recompiled apk to install. Every time I tried I would get something like "Package not properly signed". Use several different compiling and signing tools always with the same result. So I abandoned that idea and like you, waited for someone to do it for me.
Well, I was able to quickly modify the PowerAmp Widget Skin pack a little bit. I'm not experienced "theming" much of anything so I wasn't sure how to modify the font color.
I modified the background image of the widgets (4x1 and 4x2) to a half transparent black. I also changed the colors of the buttons to white.
If anyone can give me any tips as to which xml files I should edit for the font color, that would be most helpful! I can't try anything right now since I'm at work.
I used ZipSigner 2 to sign the apk, so it should hopefully be installable like normal from a file manager. I'm on a Droid X if it helps for reference.
I'd love a transparent widget and white characters to match the green wallpaper,...
I'll try to see how u did to change the app background...
Just installed Dec patches: now if I go into home settings and select Styles, it crashes.
Mine seems to be working okay.
Mine seems to be doing this, too.
I'd come to the forums to ask for some advice and at least it's not just me.
I can't even get an image to load, if I go to change my wallpaper, whatever image I open just closes the wallpaper picker completely.
I've not seen a workaround for it online anywhere, either. Not sure of the best way to stop it crashing.
1. walpaper: I have noticed this too, but not with all images, still need to figure out what's the culprit
2. styles: I have found that the problem is a combination of language and deleted personal styles. Put phone in english, enter style, apply a default style, put back phone to your language, re enter style, create a new personal style and apply it BUT DO NOT DELETE IT, otherwise problem will coem back
I've just tried again this morning and if you set the wallpaper from the Google Photos app, it doesn't seem to crash.
Still not wholly sure what's going on with it, but hey. Hopefully they issue a fix soon. Only other thing I've noticed is that the wallpaper doesn't centre correctly if you apply it, it always sits slightly to the right.
