[FONTS](2011-10-21) NOW ROBOTO! (and: CANDARA, SEGOE,TREBUCHET) modified for Android

NOW ROBOTO FONT!
Now I've included new font straight from Google: ROBOTO. That font is very nice, but it is not exactly designed for older android. It is simply to big. So I made sligthly smaller version and then my little magic condensation. I made my goal in 100%: IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!
Just look at last screenshot.
Kalagas: The best font I have ever used in 2 years I have android devices...
Good work... very good...
It's exactly what it's needed...
Thanks a lot...
You can change font with 'font changer' from android market. Just extract archive to /sdcard/.fontchanger/. Then you must delete DefaultFont.ttf and DefaultFont-Bold.ttf from /system/fonts by yourself.
>>> MANUAL INSTALL
- go to /system/fonts
- Press "Mount R/W" if it is not already writable
- copy segoeThanNarrow.ttf over DroidSans.ttf
- copy segoeThanNarrow-Bold.ttf over DroidSans-Bold.ttf
- DELETE DefaultFont.ttf and DefaultFont-Bold.ttf
- REBOOT
-----------------------------
SEGOE-THAN:
This one is compilation of three different Segoou fonts. My idea was to create font which:
- will look much better and cleaner then DroidSans
- has the same metrics as DroidSans to perfectly fit in every program and HTC Sense (Lock Screen especially). I've done it by copying every metrics from DroidSans and then I fitted font to that metrics. This makes small letters much bigger in the same way as in original DroidSans.
- is slightly bolder then DroidSans
- is slightly narrower then DroidSans to fit more text (this is really nice!)
- looks better then DroidSans
- has every character from UTF-8
UPDATE (20-01-2011): some metrics corrected so g,j, etc are no longer cutted in some programs.
UPDATE (16-03-2011): corrected some more metrics in BOLD, renamed everything in font so it displays correctly in some programs (for example in Firefox).
UPDATE (12-04-2011): corrected sizes of CAPS letters, better accented characters, polished many characters by hand. Corrected fitting text when bold/not bold is mixed. Finally it looks perfect for me! Fits perfectly in every program I checked! New screenshots added!
UPDATE (04-05-2011): version 1.4 - small boxes doesn't appear in some programs and after ... (three dots) anymore.
UPDATE (05-05-2011): small version added. LOOKS GORGEOUS!!! And you got about 20% more text fitted everywhere for free!
UPDATE (11-05-2011): version 1.4.1 - finally there are no small boxes AND no spaces "for" them in any program! One archive for two fonts. Screenshots are now taken with small version.
UPDATE (15-06-2011): version 1.4.1 - one small fix. Doesn't need new version number
-----------------------------
TREBUCHET-THAN:
UPDATE (12-05-2011): version 1.0 - RELEASE. Trebuchet correctly fitted to Android. No small boxes etc. Should be OK. Small version also included.
UPDATE (15-06-2011): version 1.1 - updated metrics to new version and added some corrections.
-----------------------------
CANDARA-THAN:
UPDATE (11-07-2011): version 1.0 - RELEASE. Several changes was made to that font to look and fit great on Android.
UPDATE (12-07-2011): after request I added semibold version (just as my segoe than is). It is included in one archive. I personally like normal version more. I don't know why . EDIT: normal version corrected as it had wrong degree symbol.
-----------------------------
(15-06-2011)
I've added screenshot from fontchanger where you can see all my fonts on one screen.
(11-07-2011)
Added one screenshot taken with CandTHAN set as system font and new screenshot from fontchanger with CandTHAN set as system.
Screenshots below:
First taken with SegoeTHAN SMALL
second taken with Candara THAN
last taken with RobotoTHAN

It looks quite good but... any clue why I keep getting "square" characters at the end of some program's name? Strange...

Well, it looks like the font itself is ok. There has to be somthing wrong with encoding or something else. BTW, I'm experiencing same issue with other fonts too. Who knows...

So it sounds like your problems are not font related.

Yep, not directly related to the font itself. But I cannot understand what's wrong with (just some) apps' names...

Not sure if that was last font update or having installed cyanogenmod7, but no more "squares"!

You don't need to flash. You need to have root and 'font changer lite' from Market. Copy those fonts to /sdcard/.fontchanger and run 'font changer lite', tap on this font and reset.

Thanks! Excellent and easy!

you are welcome!

Any Idea whats named the Fontstyle ?
Edit..
Okay i found the font 7th but to big for dhd

Very good work...
I use it my DHD for 2 days now and i like much more that the default fonts...

This is a really nice looking font, thanks for making it. It looks like a lot of time and effort went into it.
Unfortunately apps in the pull down menu use bold text, and this font seems to be wider than stock when bold. So the descriptive text for some apps (JuiceDefender for example) is too wide, and disappears off the right side of the screen.
Edit: Sorry, ignore the above, it was just one mode in Juice Defender, and the same thing happened with stock font.

I've just checked and in fact my font in bold is much narrower then original Droid Sans bold.

Yes - sorry, I edited the post to say it was just me being stupid!
Loving the font.

The app fontchanger is verry good to change fonts No need to flash.

Where can I find fonts?

I downloaded font changer from the market but I don't have any fonts on my phone. I can go into the the advanced section to switch specific fonts, but I would like to just change my general overal font. Where can I find these fonts and where do I put them on my phone?
I just noticed there a bunch of fonts in system/fonts, how do I switch between these fonts?

I download the fonts I like as .ttf files from websites like dafont.com or from the fonts folder on my pc. I put them in a folder on my SD card and then use font Changer to apply the font to my phone. Dont reboot from the app, reboot using the power button.
After reboot, you system font will be changed. Be sure to choose a readable font like sans as it will affect everything on your phone like the keyboard, websites, apps, etc. If you want fancy fonts for certain widgets, apply them using that app if the app allows for custom fonts.

Yes, Font Changer works fine (needs root).
Anyone know how to change the fonts used in "compose mail", in the mail app?
I'm on the Revolution ROM (Gingerbread), & I think the font is Times New Roman - I'd like it to be Arial (so nobody can tell if I'm sending mail from desktop or mobile )

[FONT][Magisk Module] Google Sans font - systemlessly

Hello,
This is a module to install Google Sans font (aka Product Sans) systemlessly through Magisk.
You say: "Yet another Google Sans module"
Well sure, except that I made an important correction in the font design, read below...
So I wanted to install Google Sans font on my device.
You might know that is is not free to use...
All copies I could find on XDA and other places had the same issue.
The issue is that when you place a digit before a linebreak, if you click at the end of the line, the cursor is shown in the middle of the digit (see attached). I don't know if this glitch is only present on OnePlus 3T, but it drove me crazy...
Then I spent hours trying to find different copies of that font....
All copies had the same glitch on my device...
So I tried looking for the issue in the font files themselves... and I finally found that the linebreak character (unicode U+0A) had a width defined at 0... whereas in any other font, it has a non-0 value (value depends on the font).
I corrected this issue and now it is working perfect!!!
:good:
Also I corrected the colon for the lockscreen time (U+EE01 in Roboto-light).
So attached is what I believe to be the only Google Sans (aka Product Sans) font module that doesn't have this issue...
Tested only on my OnePlus 3T.
As usual: make backups... blah blah.... I cannot be held responsible... blah blah....

How to properly install
First of all:
- Install module in Magisk
- Reboot
- On some phones (eg OnePlus), there is the possibility to choose a system-wide font from a selection. In this case, you need to make sure you select "default font" or "Roboto".
How to check if the module works
1. Open Gboard keyboard and look for capitalized letters Q and O. If they look like perfect circles, the module is probably applied correctly.
2. Still in Gboard keyboard, look for figures 6 and 9. If they look like a small perfect circle with added straight line, the module is probably applied correctly.
If checks 1 and 2 failed, double check you did properly install the module.
If you cannot apply the module, then send me:
* a screenshot of Gboard "CAPS" and "figures" screens
* a zip file with the content of your /system/fonts folder
If there is a font that I didn't take into account, I might be able to identify it and patch my module.
If the module seems to be applied correctly, then go further:
3. Look elsewhere in your system. If somewhere Q, O, 6 and 9 don't look like in Gboard, it means a specific font is used in that specific screen/app.
If you think a specific font is used somewhere, then send me:
* a screenshot of the place you where you found a specific font is used
* a zip file with the content of your /system/fonts folder
If there is a font that I didn't take into account, I might be able to identify it and patch my module.
Apps known to use a specific font: aCalendar
Have fun!
Cheers

Works fine on Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s and Redmi S2. Thanks

Maybe you can make a customized "Condensed" font style? IMO it will look better on some areas like the QS panel and the app drawer.
Also, is DroidSansFallback still needed? It's not mentioned on my ROM's fonts.xml, and I removed it from your module and it still works.

Update: I just customized the module and removed the condensed font files. I think I prefer this. (But I guess more people who installed this module would prefer Google Sans everywhere)

You're right, DroidSansFallback is probably not needed, but I included it just in case...
And, this is true: I couldn't find any condensed version of Google Sans / Product Sans so I just re-used the regular one.
The thing is: I am not a font designer, so I cannot design it. In FontForge, I could apply a 90% factor in the x-values, but then letter width would not be uniform depending if the line is horizontal, oblique or vertical...
If anyone can find and give me the condensed version of this font t(+variants italic, bold, bolditalic...) , I would be more than happy to rework it and include it in my module.

I guess a good solution is to create another module that still uses the Roboto Condensed fonts (not replacing these fonts)? I already did it myself though, thanks.

I used FontForge. At first, the merge process ended up with a mess, with Roboto glyphes being GIANTS compared to GoogleSans'...
On a FontForge, forum I learned that the main parameter to adapt is in "Element/Font info/General/EM".
In order to have a nice merge, this parameter has to have the same value in both fonts.
GoogleSans had 1000, Roboto had 2048.
I changed Roboto's to 1000 (at this point FontForge scales all glyphes), generated the modified version.
Then opened GoogleSans, "Element/Merge fonts" then selected the modified Roboto and FontForge integretad all glyphes of Roboto that were not defined in GoogleSans... No error whatsoever, glyphes with same "overall" size.
Of course its not perfect, because of fonts styles being different...
For example upscript figures of Roboto don't fall exactly in the same place than the one of GoogleSans (only ^4 was defined in GoogleSans)... but anyway it's better than what I had before: some weird characters were missing in GoogleSans and - some of my apps using these weird characters - they were displayed as "squares"...
Hope I could help you.

if you are rescaling the roboto then i think some characters might be oddly looking because they are resized now
also you can just deodex the apk and see what all character it uses in resources and just copy those gylphs , but yes it will take time
boxes are bascially " .notdef" so missing glyphs are shows as that box or (5 horizontal lines parallel together )

Amazing Work! All works in AOSPExtended 8.1.0 September Build :B thanks a lot!

Hello, I wanna know what is the difference between Roboto fonts and GoogleSans fonts here : https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/Pixel-Experience-Magisk/tree/master/system/fonts
I have compared between them, it seems their versions are different. Are they the same?

I have read the OP，I have known this module fixed a problem. When I extract this module, I found the fonts named Roboto, not GoogleSans, and compared with them, find their versions are different. GoogleSans is newer than Roboto, I want to know whether Roboto is the GoogleSans in Android P.

Thanks works great for Z5 Compact

Question Changes to the way Android 12 (or MIUI 13) handles system fonts AND EMOJIS, and where can I get a copy of SF Pro VARIABLE font .ttf?

Have some info followed by a question - geared more towards people with rooted Mi 11's:
Back when I was still using MIUI 10, then 11, then 12, they all had the same mechanism for picking the system font to be displayed. You use the font files of your choice, rename them as Roboto<whatever>.ttf (There are 20 or so of these files), replace the original ones in /system/fonts with these files, reboot, and you are done. A simple magisk module makes it much easier to bypass system restrictions to accomplish the font file replacements.
With MIUI 13 some changes become necessary, mainly because Google is now using VARIABLE FONTS. So we now only have 2 files to replace (on top of the emoji font file, that is):
Roboto-Regular.ttf --> This single .ttf now should now be a VARIABLE font, and should contain a rich set of font variations e.g. bold, italic, condensed, etc. all within this single file.
RobotoStatic-Regular.ttf --> This file provides backward compatibility for some apps that still require the traditional Roboto Regular font.
RobotoStatic-Regular.ttf is easy as it is the exact same thing as the previous Roboto-Regular.ttf in previous versions of MIUI. But for the new Roboto-Regular.ttf, I have no "variable font" version of the font that I have been using as my substitution of Roboto.
For now I have managed to download and use the new Google Product Sans font which is a variable font, and it actually looks pretty good. But my choice is still to use the same font I have been using for years - SF Pro Display (i.e. the iphone default font).
Anyone who knows where a copy of SF Pro Display "variable" font can be downloaded please let me know. Either that, or how to create a variable font .ttf file from a whole bunch of non-variable font files that belong to the same font family?
Thanks so much !!!
EDIT: Realized my emoji font substitution broke too, did some research, and figured out why. See my #3 response below

Found it.... https://github.com/sahibjotsaggu/San-Francisco-Pro-Fonts

Emoji broke too. This explains why:
Android 12 Will Get Out Emojis and Fonts From System Updates
Android 12 will get out emojis and fonts from system updates and this would be awesome. Both me and the rest of the world are waiting for this to happen.

Quick solution - if you can find your emoji file under /data/fonts/files/<whatever>, do your replacement there. It will get sucked into /system/fonts/
