I used to change fonts easily before froyo using the Root Explorer method but with Froyo when I reboot the N1 after changing the fonts it will get infinite loops!!
Is there any solutions to change fonts under froyo?
Works fine for me using metamorph.
Is it easy to do a font pack for metamorph?
If you want one of the fonts in this zip it's very easy:

As far as adding a font and having metamorph recognize it in an xml and apply it, I'm clueless.
moved to the Q&A forum.

I havent tried it on Froyo, but when I was running cyan 5.0.6 I replaced one of the fonts in the skaggz zip with a different one I wanted to use, applied it with metamorph and it worked fine. There was no need to edit any files unless I had wanted to change the name, but I just left it unchanged and my new font had the name of the one it replaced.
I've been trying for several days to change system fonts to the ubuntu font, and every tutorial I've come across doesn't work with my rooted GT540.
Has anybody managed to do that?
I tried using both update.zip methods and by means of applications... no luck with both methods.

I couldn't get it to work either. I think the fonts are overwritten when the device is booted. Would be nice to change the fonts.
Finally, I got it working. Lg GT540 doesn't use droid font, but some other font named SJSans.ttf, wich is also on /system/fonts (I've never noticed this font there lol)
Just replace that font using root explorer. Just in case, fix permissions of replaced files to be like the other ones in that folder (I don't know if this is necessary though). Reboot.
Here's Ubuntu font family, with filenames ready to copy paste in /system/fonts.
It didn't work for me, some texts were readable but some weren't the clock wasn't showing..

It depends on the font you use, of course, and your language. If you use something like tahoma, everything should work, because this is a very complete font with support for many many characters and languages.
The ubuntu font works perfectly with Portuguese language.
I had to reupgrade and make a hard reset, the clock WAS missing! And my phone is set to English. I tryied the ubuntu fonts cuz i really like them nothing but trouble..
Ubuntu font pack works like a charm with Polish language, thanks a lot!
howdy guys - don't know how I ended up here, but if you're familiar with the regular method of changing fonts on android, the optimus is a bit different;
normal Clockopia.ttf is your SJGothicFull.ttf (this is the lockscreen clock)
normal DroidSans.ttf is your SJSans.ttf
normal DroidSans-Bold.ttf is your SJSans-Bold.ttf
I haven't tested this, but this should work for you guys with any font (you can even change the ones in my thread if you know how) Best of luck
Edit - again, if you know how, the new version of the comfortaa font is complete, so that should work as well, if not better than ubuntu.
I had same issue with clock going missing.
if your using root explorer.
hold down the font file you just move to system/font folder
select permission.
User - tick first(read) and second(write) box
Group - tick first(read) one only
Other - tick first(read) one only
so it should now look like
SJSans.ttf
[date here] rw-r--r--
restart and I got my clock text back along with my new font

Any screens with that Ubunt font on board?? Cos it looks not so cool on my PC I would like to see this mounted at phone.
Hello I just started theming..
Anyway, first thing i wanted to do was change the fonts in a .mtz file.
So i took the .mtz changed it to .zip extracted it..
replaced the fonts in /fonts and renamed them the exact same names (Arial, Arial-Bold, and clockopia)
Zipped up the theme, renamed it to .mtz
the fonts however do not change.
I can see it in theme chooser, but my font does not change when I apply it...
and if it does, it just changes to the default font..
Why is this?
I have tried a few fonts, all with the same result. they are .ttf which I was under the impression was okay. Is there some fonts that just wont work?
From what I read I am not doing anything wrong...
Thanks in advance..
Hi,
how do I change the default Font on the HTC One? I tried Font Installer, iFont and Root Toolbox, but none of them works. My device is rooted btw.
Thanks!

Curious about this as well
i'm also curious about how this is possible..
My guess is that Sense is using it's own font from some HTC resources, rather than the usual Android system one. So the usual apps for switching this will be changing the wrong thing...
It'll probably require some Sense-decompiling stuff...
*Edit* well- maybe not. There's a whole bunch of Fonts in /system/fonts, maybe you're just changing the wrong one...
Try TrickDroid Roms Tweak package.There you can choose and install some Fonts.
You can change the default font before flash a custom rom.
I don't know how to make a update.zip so... here's my way(doing it on the PC).
1. Rename fonts which you want to use to;
"Roboto-Regular.ttf"
"Roboto-Bold.ttf"
"Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf"
"Roboto-Italic.ttf"
2. Open a custom rom with winrar.
3. Drag&Drop renamed fonts into system/fonts.
4. Flash.
If you use TrickDroid, skip 2,3,4 and do this;
1. Open TrickDroidThemes.zip with winrar.
2. Drag&Drop renamed fonts to additions/fonts/asap
3. Apply theme. (choose "asap", of course)
you can also disable the low battery beep sound
I hope it helps
