This is based on antonio1475's file to flash the Segoe Fonts from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176154
I just replaced the files with the Ubuntu Font.
We all know what the Ubuntu font it looks like but here's a screenshot anyway:
Download
Flash in Recovery.
Tested on my Optimus Black, no guarantees whatsoever.
+1 Thanks!
Really love Ubuntu font, it works on my OB too !
Thanks, did you just rename and replaced the files while on winzip let's say?

Hello.. I have downloaded font zips in Rom Manager on my Nexus s with ICS 4.0.3...
But when i reboot in recovery and flash, it says that it has been completed, and i reboot, but its the same old roboto font anyway..
Why? anyone knows it?
It's because of the updater script. Our mount points are different
There should also be some symlinks for the roboto fonts. I can upload a correct META-INF folder in a few and you can replace the one that came with the zip

As an alternative, you could also grab Font Changer from the market.

Is it possible to get Segoe WP 7 font and helvetica font for ics then? I have downloaded the zip from rom manager, but its not possible to extract the fonts from there?

Yes, definitely possible.
Actually, what might be an easier route for you is, download Font Installer by JRummy. (Market).
It comes with a whole bunch of fonts including Segoe (called zegoe there) and Helvetica (Helvetiker or something). There, it'll let u preview and apply.
Fergies method is the best, and gives you most control, but try this if you're not comfortable yet finding the rom manager download, opening with 7zip and replacing folders.

Here is how I changed my font from stock to Roboto
1. Root your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454112
2. download your Font onto your tab
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/design/Roboto_Hinted_20111129.zip (roboto - ics 4.0 font)
3. install any font changer app, run, select font, BOOM delicious new font appears
Roboto is amazing. Love this font. I use it in all my apps now. Looks 100% better on 99% of interfaces (for some reason looks a bit squished in gmail)
does anyone know how to change the font of the clock in the status bar? I hate the font that Samsung is using.

if you change trough update.zip i think (CMIIW) thats dangerous but if you know that samsung default has font changer in setting but the one i dont understand is how to add more cause i had copy and paste into system/font with root exp but no luck and the font not showing on list
Just a quick update on what I have recently found is the best solution to getting Roboto on this device.
Don't use a font changing app like Font Changer or Font Installer, etc. Specifically those two don't overwrite the default fonts correctly & that's why you will see weird looking fonts sometimes (gmail app for example).
Best & Easiest Solution (requires root):
1. Download this rar file.
2. Extract the three .ttf files and copy over to your device.
3. Copy them to the system\fonts and overwrite the originals (I will give you a link to the originals).
4. If you want to go back to stock, download this file and do steps 2 & 3 again.
Anyone tried this on ICS? I did it but saw zero change

I found this mod in the Optimus 2x forum, and I've tried this also working on Optimus Black. Change system font :
- Install LG2xSystemFontsv2.zip using CWM (choose install from SD card)
- Reboot
- Change font via Settings - Display - Display font
Available new fonts :
Nokia pure, WP7, Segoe print, Luxi sans, Ubuntu
Look very nice and fits well in our device!
It replaces the old Fonts.apk with a modified one..
Screenshot added, with WP7 font It's working with all OB ROM based on ori ROM.. I'm using Zeus 6..
Gr8 dude. Will flash it now, but does if remove regional fonts like hindi or its available after flashing it also?? Nwz i will back up my fonts folder

I guess it's only working for original ROM, or custom ROM based on ori ROM.. because it changed the Fonts.apk system app,,
it works, using zeus v6.11
What exactly does it do?
to replace the system fonts with others?
to add system fonts mantaining the original ones?
Regards.
Guys, would you mind making screenshot to show if it's worth trying?

I wonder why it doesn't include Roboto (ICS font). But nice, anyway

I've seen this question many times during last few days and even got a few PMs also regarding this and answering repetitively is tiresome and not so creative so thought of creating a thread specially for this, Nothing new, no rocket science but helpful, hope you find the same
Recovery Method
Download any one of the font
Goto CWM
Select Mount and storage
Mount System
Flash the downloaded File
ICS Roboto Font
Gingerbread Stock Font
Other Flashable Font files along sample can be found here
Font changer Method
Install Font Changer from play store
put the desired fonts in the folder .fontchanger created in the root of your SDcard, open the app and apply the desired font.
usually I use second method. coz its easy for any fonts. no need to search for flashable zip and original font can be backup for further use.
try rom toolbox
I think it doesnt work on ICS ROM
I see on system/fonts and few font files was linked to "roboto font",,even I change with CWM/Manual(with root explorer) it doesnt works mate
I like use SonySketch fonts

I believe what OP mean in this thread is only for MoKee OS. And also as he said, the zip file attached to be flashed is an answer of some people who ask him how to make roboto font as default font.

Is this safe ?
I wanted to ask if this is completely safe cos I've had bad experiences everytime I tried tampering with my device. Also do these methods work on gingerbread ??

As far i know this should work on any gingerbread rom, but on ics or jb you need to create metadata for changing the font as their symlinked to the rom. Cmiiw

This font comes from the Amazon Kindle Oasis and I am using this font on my phone as i find it easier to read than Roboto.
It comes in Regular, Bold, Italic and Italic Bold. Since it was a bit too large for my taste i had to set the display setting to Small fonts which you can see in the screenshot.
Enjoy!
Hi there, is this working on LOS 14.1?
Thanks.
