[Q] Change system fonts in CyanogenMod

Hello,
For the past week, I was trying out the Cronos Ginger ROM for Milestone, and I quite liked the system fonts that it used. Is there any way to port those fonts back to CyanogenMod? Is there an app for that?
Thanks

Try using Font Changer.
Well I did try it, but it didn't come loaded with any fonts. Also, I was looking for the Cronos fonts specifically. Is there any font package for that? Also how do I load fonts in Font changer in the first place?
Best way to grab fonts would be to open up the Flashable zip of Cronos, then /system/fonts and you need to grab all of those I guess. Font Changer should recognize them as a "font package" and let you apply it then.
Thanks man..tried it out and it worked..
Is it possible to change fonts without using an app ? . ( cyanogenmod 7.2)

[Q] Cm7 status bar mod

Hi. I wanna ask if is it possible to change the clock font on the statusbar cm7. And I'm currently on squadzone cm7 RC5.7. I have a question. Is it the framework problem or something's else cause when I use tickle my android, the decompile and the recompile was sucess. And when I push it in I got a bootloop. Can anyone help me?
Well the easiest way to change font is to rename your desired font to the one used by the clock (mostly "Clockopia") and replace it by pushing to System/fonts and set permissions

If you have a bootloop, that's because you've got something wrong with your framework-res.apk. I'm guessing that you recompiled it but didn't prepare it. You have to prepare system files or they just won't work.
That said, decompiling files isn't the way to change your clock font. Tickle My Android does have an option for changing the clock font in the modifying menu, although I can't guarantee that it'll work on your CM7. If it doesn't, the best way is to look in /system/fonts and start replacing fonts. Hopefully, the font you need will have a fairly obvious name..

I did prepare system files but sometimes when I wanted to push it in, it says write only file system. How can I change it? And for the clock I've changed clokopia and one more I guess it's called honeycombAndroidClock.tff but all they change was only the lockscreen clock

Okay. I've downloaded rom toolbox pro and I tried to change my batt icon to ics with percentage. When I done install nothing happens. After a reboot, still nothing happens. Is this the right way to download it?

For changing battery and stuff its easier to use UOT Kitchen
I know uot kitchen is the best but I'm already on a ics rom. All I want is to change the batt icon. When I upload the framework and systemUI I got shtf file. All I can do is uploading the theme chooser theme. Unless I could find a theme chooser theme which it is pure and not modded before.

Hmm.. Tell you what, if you can share your files on the Tickle My Android thread, I can make this mod for you.
I can even take a look at changing your clock font. I'll just need to know what fonts you have in your Rom.

Downloaded fonts do not apply!

Hello
My S5830 is on stock rom 2.3.5. I wanted to change my system font. From "Font style" I downloaded an Arabic font pack. Now I have many fonts to set as system fonts.
But when I set any of them and reboot the system, no font change happen and system font is still the default font.
What is the solution? Why does not any change happen?
Is your device rooted? If not, then you'd need to do so in order to change system fonts. Kindly specify which app you are using to change the font.

Hi There,
You will need to Root Your Device first and then try to install custom fonts.

Well what are you trying to do i mean you want to change the language pack eg: Froem English To Persian Or you want to change the font style only.
If you want to change the font style only Try Pencil fonts app have checked it personally it Works..

Hi,
if you rooted the SGA, backup the content of /system/fonts folder;
then substitute (use ghost commander) the original fonts with the content of Arabic font pack you downloaded and set the appropriate permission;
the reboot the phone and enjoy

first I flashed my font file that I have attached on the post.
Then I flashed your lockscreen file.
It didnt work.
can you try flashing my font file and experience the problem yourself.
You can always flash the stoick font to revert.
I placed my font in your zip after changing their original name to the one in your zip.
sorry man..
