[Guide] How to Change Fonts for the ROM?

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

Need MIUI ICS Fonts

Hi Friends,
I need MIUI v4 ICS fonts file. Does any one able to make mtz font files.
We have one for ICS concepts.
Regards
Edit: Install ROM toolbox from play store and install any font on ICS/JB ROM.

can't you just take it from a miui rom

not sure if it's changed,but last I seen the fonts on miui v4 doesn't change might be device specific though.

Are these for MIUIv4. I understand that MIUI GB fonts wont work in MIUIv4.

Right now there seems to be no way of changing the font in MIUI v4 using the theme manager. The only way I know of is to flash the fonts through ADB or CWM.

Can you provide me a link to just one? I'm not keen on downloading the 70MB+ concept ICS theme just to figure out how the font works. I've tried renaming the fonts to roboto, etc. but that doesn't seem to work for me.

Yes I have made separately working mtz fonts for MIUI V4:laugh: See Here at my blog:

Thanks for the link. I tried applying the iPhone 5 font but it didn't work. I'm thinking it may be a device-specific issue (I'm using a SGS). Hmmm, I'm determined to get to the bottom of this.
Edit: why is DroidSansFallback.ttf so big (14.6MB)??

[FONT]Full System Fonts! Clock symbol FIX!

Hello fellow XDA friends! I am an extreme fan of Roboto Condensed and ALWAYS keep a zip of the font to replace my entire system UI. So if you are anal about your phone having consistent fonts, being Roboto Condensed, this is the zip for you! As always MAKE A BACKUP before flash even though I of course have flashed this multiple times every time I flash a ROM and have never had any issues with it. I do not have a revert to stock zip so PLEASE, AGAIN, MAKE A BACKUP, JUST, IN, CASE! I hope you enjoy!
Credits to this who create flashable zip files for me to use as a template to use for each device I am using.
Thanks to everyone who has helped me on XDA with not only fonts, but various tasks here and there :silly:
THESE ARE FLASHABLE ZIP FILES - YOU DO NEED A CUSTOM RECOVERY TO FLASH
To fix the [X] in your lock screen clock problem you can flash this: http://www.mediafire.com/download/bt2hz0t6osbghy5/Font_DejavuFonts1.zip
Credits to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/fonts-flashable-zips-t3219827 & @xxsashixx for the find - thanks again!
Big thanks to @THATTON for providing me with some great looking fonts to zip up
For any requests, feel free to PM me or mention my username in a thread post and I'll be happy to throw together a zip for you!

I've been trying to figure out how to get Bariol system wide. That's my all time favorite font.

Great Roboto font! Cool

Yes it does. You have to flash in recovery.

It's been awhile since I root or have custom rom. I assume root device will not get factory update anymore, or does it? Want to keep the phone as vanilla as possible, but there's really some deficiency that only root app can fill.

Correct, no ota with normal root system changes. There is a systemless root, but I've not tried it...

I have updated the main post to be a bit more clear on needing ROOT and a custom recovery to flash this font for those who aren't as familiar! Enjoy

Added Bariol font per request, enjoy

Bariol FTW!!!!!! Thanks again man.

Happy to help and I'm glad it worked out the font does, indeed, look good! Though I can never leave my precious Roboto!!!!!!! :silly:

Any chance you could post a zip of the stock font? I liked my clock more before and stupidly didn't make a backup, and font changer apps don't change certain things including the clock for me.

So I grabbed all the default fonts from my /system/font & zipped them up.
I'm on the ASOiP ROM, so I'm not a 100% sure these are the same as Google's stock Android fonts, but you could give that a try if you want.

Is that a flashable zip? I couldn't get it to work.

Unfortunately no, but there is a long method by which you can use some stuff from the theme you want to use as base. The steps are:
1) Extract every qmg file from each apk within a theme and rename the extracted apks to zip.
2) using command prompt run the following command:
Code:
ren *.qmg *.png
it will auto change the extension from qmg to png.
3) Transfer the pngs to mobile phone and look at the images you want to use
4) create your theme and individually replace the qmg which you identified from pngs with the base themes qmg. That's it.
I know its a tiresome task

nice:good: i made my first theme

Thanks, this is something..

First, thank you for posting this tool.
I'm still old skool in terms of theming, hard coding the system and adding/changing images to my preference.
It seems the the overlay themes are the direction it been headed for sometime so if the tool is easy enough and less time consuming, I suppose I could switch, plus the compatibility for many more devices and users is quite nice!
As far as converting/viewing qmg images install this to your phone and within the app select the apk of which you wish to view the qmg images and bam! It's all done, converted to png's viewable on pc and everything!
Anyways, thanks again!

I also found out one more way as this alp was not working for me on s7. Further, the above mentioned method is not working as the tool requires you to sign the apk with a certificate which you create with this tool itself and changing the files i think damages the signature. Nevertheless the 2nd way is to rename the qmg files to png. Transfer them to phone and then through the phone edit them. Add a small difference so that you can save it. Once you do, it will save it in png format.
