Theres no font tab in display like there is with. GB.
Accessory font change is just for a few apps.
I use imilka's AOSP ICS, and there's a Font Size option in Settings/Display & Interface.

Have you tried to change the font using ROM Toolbox? Some are reporting that Font Changer works, but some are also reporting that they are getting bootloops, so use at your own risk. It's the same story with Font Installer. It might work, or not.
Or you can try and do it manually and go to system/fonts and swap out Roboto-Regular with another font. Name the other font "Roboto-Regular. Reboot.
You might get bootloops, it might not work. Do it at your own risk!

So, I'ld like to change the font of the widgets on my home. I'm not asking how to change fonts, I know that.
I just want to know how to know what font a widget use (for exemple DigiClock Widget) and if it's possible to give it a custom font without have to change the system font ?
Thanks

Digital clock in specific picks up ur system font. Most apps also do that, although some allow u to download market font packs and use those instead.
I know, but is there a way to know witch specific font it's using ?

Em most of the time, the apk will have an asset folder, with the font file inside it.

how 'bout fancy widget??? will that accept your system font???
EDIT - geez, just realized how old this thread was... but maybe a hit by someone....
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.

Here is a Roboto replacement for Clockopia, the font used for the lockscreen clock.
As you may know, simply replacing Clockopia with your favorite font results in placement issues. See this thread on Rootzwiki for more details.
All I did was follow the instructions in the Rootzwiki post and replace each of the Clockopia glyphs with the ones from Roboto. This font now aligns perfectly on the pattern lockscreen.
To install, download and extract "Clockopia-Roboto.zip" below. Then use an app like Font Changer to install the font. You'll find Clockopia in the "Advanced" tab of Font Changer.
Alternatively, just replace /system/fonts/Clockopia.ttf with the attached file.
Added flashable version to my OP here: http://kan.gd/183p
Quick work, thanks. The flash is certainly faster to install, but I like going the TTF + Font Changer route because it is easier to experiment with different clock fonts.
I like to manually do my stuff bbut to each his own. Its quicker to copy and paste old font and move new font and change permissions imo. Thanks for the clocktopia font!
Great find, thanks!
Awesome man! thanks a lot! Now I don't have to settle.

how can i center the clock ?
Most of us are using the Roboto font from the Ice Cream Sandwich SDK. Here is what Roboto's designer, Christian Robertson, said after the SDK release:
Note that there are still some bugs in the font that has been extracted from the SDK. Many of these have been corrected already, and you can expect to see some fixes to minor kerning issues and some diacritical misalignments.

Source: Roboto is a Four-headed Frankenfont - the article title is by a blogger, not Christian Robertson (who likes his font just fine)
So if all those kerning issues and diacritical misalignments have been pissing you off, here is the final shipped version of the Roboto font from a Galaxy Nexus system dump by el3ctrik. (Full system dump at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19476970&postcount=10)
This is not a flashable zip. These are just the original TTF files. You can install it with an app like Font Changer, or alternatively, replace the files in your /system/fonts folder manually.
This font looks great, love it. Thanks a lot for this!

can't see any differences from the one from the SDK, and they're both labeled as v1.0 when I preview them...
I couldn't tell you what the differences are either. However the file sizes are definitely different (the Galaxy Nexus fonts are about 10k smaller than the SDK). And when I check the font properties in FontCreator, there are some slight differences in the number of glyphs, etc.
Anyway I assume there are differences because the font designer said so. But probably nobody will notice them unless you use use a language with diacritics.
I think the fix is for users of accents (in French, ..) as: é, ù, ç, è,..
A check! (I test as soon as I can).
EDIT :
Well, it's the accents
plz, post CWM version !

I had this in the older version as well...but on this font, when I get new Gmail messages, my entire Gmail inbox becomes bold until I force close the app. I only get it on this font, but someone else had mentioned to me that it happens on Helvetica as well...problem with the font, or Gmail and the way it handles fonts?
can you post the clocktopia font as well...

It might be something wrong with the way you installed the font. If you're using the Font Changer app, go to the "Advanced" tab and check what fonts are set for DroidSans-Bold.ttf and DroidSans.ttf. If you're using some other font app, make sure you have Roboto-Regular.ttf as the DroidSans equivalent and Robot-Bold.ttf as the DroidSans-Bold equivalent.

I don't think there is any update to the numbers. Just get the Clockopia font from my signature.
Thanks. I was reading about this font and rip-offs thing all night. It's my Western font in Firefox
Please keep us updated always!
