Yeah it was fixed a little but earlier today. It looked like an incorrect file name that caused the issue.

Another one that seems to have the same problem is the font named juiced italic.

I just discovered this thread and am in heaven! I haven't really played with fonts since my Hero on ?Honeycomb ?Gingerbread? but I found my favorites here.

I didn't go through all 37 pages of posts; just skimmed the first few and last few, so I don't know if this is known, but here is a link from an old EVO thread that has viewable examples of 300 fonts, including links to where the font can be found. It hasn't been updated since 2011 or 2012, and I'm pretty sure none of the download zips will work here, but its a treasure trove worthy of exploration for fontophiles. :D
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] aheeejd:
You are correct, just tested (still on beta 3) & it fc. I'm going to install beta 4.

Edit - My bad, it is happening on beta 4, guess I forgot I already installed it lol. I am at work lol.

Same here. Restored from backup didn't reset all fonts. Rebooted, still didn't go back to normal. I didn't do another restore, but I did flasth the stock font zip from OP and that restored everything correctly.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Sharp12:
Yeah I have had best results just making the flashable zips with the executable on my Nexus 5. The cool thing is you get to use two different fonts with the current way it works for nexus 5 though :P
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] AGiLiT:
I tried restoring 2x; didn't make a difference (on .4 now).

I did notice that when I was doing an install, if I did the reboot before I saw all the toasts complete, I didn't get a full install of all the fonts and had to install twice.

Also, with a different font installed, it still shows as Stock on the backup-restore screen (see screenshot.)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Sharp12:
You also cleared the cache? I think this worked out for me in 0.3
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] AGiLiT:
Nope; I'll try that tomorrow. Winding down for the evening...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] v1v14n:
I made a flashable font zip using the fontPackager, since I had all of the font types, the font is Baar Metonia, tested it and it works fine, you can test it once and upload it to your font packs collection.

You have to flash the .zip file in a custom recovery or use a file explorer w/ root permissions and copy those fonts into system/font folder

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Incredible_Culp:
Hey! thanks for the fonts and the font builder!!

I created a font pack myself called Avante Garde -- Its the font used (i think) in the Illusion ROMs -- I fell in love with it and always wanted it in other roms -- so thank you!!!

But, Ive came to fall in love with another LOL -- Avenir Next Ultra Light --- Could you also make this font pack change the keyboard font to the Avenir font too? Like you did the RobotoLightw/keyboard Font Pack..

That would be awesome!

Or if you can tell me what font names the keyboard uses (i assume i would just have to change the new font name to Roboto or whatever font the keyboard uses, and do it exactly like what the op describes), I could create the zip if you dont feel like doing it.. Just let me know, thanks :good:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Chromium:
Sure, here you go (it looks awesome btw ;) ) : Avenir Next Ultra Light With Themed Keyboard

Also heres some more font packs i made:

Chivo

Ubuntu Tall

In addition, I've created an update for my font packager. The new version gives you the ability to directly inject the font files into your phone so that you dont need to manually flash the zip via recovery. (probably not that useful for most people, but it saves me quite some time when making the packs). Enjoy :)

I just flashed it and it doesn't quite look condensed in folders. May just be my eyes...

Oh I see. To be honest im actually not sure what all the other fonts are for, but AFAIK as long as you replace all of the Roboto fonts everything (fonts) should get changed. So I don't see the point of replacing those other fonts too.

Thanks a lot for your fonts. Really good job.

I use a Samsung that comes with a it's own rosemary font but its not really system wide.

So I decided to flash yours so I can get system wide and it worked.

Problem I have is with small letter "m" which instead of bold like other characters, is light.

Please refer to the screenshot as I've highlighted in red what I'm talking.

What can I do?

Cheers

im looking for full font changer for htc one x for my wife and google it but it direct me to this thread on top. im just wondering can i use your method to change font? also it only has one type(regular) but i think i can duplicate the same font and just rename it to other type font. i dont wanna mess with my wifes phone. better ask first.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Chromium:
No, you can't just duplicate and rename the regular font. The italic and bold variants must be edited and their classification must be correct. This is done using font editing software. If classifications are not correct you will get a bootloop.

An easier alternative would be to use my font installer app. Look a few pages back in this thread and you'll find it.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] StormTrooper89:
Thx. Guess i already save my life from ruining my wife phone. Gotta check it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[MENTION=4883664]Chromium[/MENTION] im trying the beta 4 on htc one x and got fc when trying to download font and preview the font. anyway here is the logcat.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Chromium:
Thanks for the report. I'm having the same error/crash on some other devices I've tested the app on, but I cant seem to figure out what the problem is at the moment. I'll have another look at it later. However, so far the app seems to be working well on the Nexus 5, so I will initially be supporting this device only.

_______________________________

As I have mentioned a while ago, I am now developing this app as a group project for my computer science class. (Although my group members didn't really do much :p). Here is the new version along with a changelog (changes are in order of most to least prevalent):

Fontster 0.5 (APK file attached)

- Added a new feature that allows the user to select a font file from their phones storage and install it (WIP)

- Fixed the issue causing the buttons on the main screen to get stuck with a dark colour after being pressed

- Added options to reboot and restart systemui

- Added an option to send a font request to the dev team

- Added delete backup option

- Font updates

- Before restoring, check if backup exists, and only proceed to restore if it does

- Removed font tracking (it wasnt working well, and is quite unnecessary)

- Added easter egg (let me know if you find it ;))

- Added option to share app

- Made things more modular

As always, please inform me of any problems or let me know if you have feedback that can make the app better.

This will most likely be the last release I post in this thread. I will soon make a separate thread specifically for Fontster, and I also plan to put the app in the play store so that it can easily be installed/updated. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Chromium:
Can those who downloaded please give some feedback. Would you guys say its ready to be uploaded to the play store or is there anything that you believe should be sorted out first?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] CRIME INC.:

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] v1v14n:
I too tried it, everything works fine except installing a font saved in the SD card, I just extracted one ttf file from one of the font packs and tried installing it, but no changes, the tab just reboots, as it has been mentioned by you its WIP, maybe that is the reason why it din't get installed or am I doing something wrong? Other than that everything works fine, tried it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P3100.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Chromium:
Did installing font files from the sdcard work on the nexus 5?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] v1v14n:
I don't have a nexus, I try all the fonts on the tab 2 itself and it works fine always. So I mentioned my device maybe it has something to do with tab 2.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Chromium:
Ah ok, thanks. The installation method that I used for the Storage Install feature is a bit different than what I used to install fonts in the other part of the app, so maybe thats the problem. Im posting the app on the play store, and Im going to need some screenshots from a tablet. Would you be kind enough to upload a few screenshots of the app on your tab? Thanks.

Have any Nexus users tried installing a font from the storage yet? Did it work?

Also could someone with a Nexus 5 do me a favour and post a screenshot of the main screen of the app, thanks :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] v1v14n:
There is a folder named Sample font in my internal memory, is that a folder created by the app? Now while I was taking the screen shot I tried installing the sample font.ttf, no luck, the font did not install. Anyways here is the screenshot from the tab 2. Do let me know if you need any more screenshots or if I need to test and check anything else on the tab.

Also I am curious to know, how does it work on the nexus, after selecting the ttf file, does the app creates the Bold,Italic and BoldItalic font types too while installing?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Chromium:
Yes the SampleFont folder is created by the app to store fonts when you preview them. Thank for the screenshots.

No the storage install currently only takes the ttf file selected by the user > renames it to Roboto-Regular.ttf > and copies it into /system/fonts

As I've said, this feature is still a work in progress, so I later plan to let the user choose bold, bold italic, and italic types as well (the duplicate those files into the derivatives).

Restoring Fonts from backup is still buggy. It restores only a few fonts and not all and hence mess up everything :p

I have to reflash my ROM to get back to Stock Fonts.

Thanks anyway for such a sleek App, Also looking forward to see the app on Playstore soon.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Chromium:
Hmm, I'll think about adding this.

Thanks for the report, I'll try to find a solution. (a logcat would be helpful :))

_______________________

Again, I would like to thank all of the people that have participated in Fontsters development for the past few months by helping to test the app, giving me feedback, and providing screenshots. I greatly appreciate all the assistance. Fontster is now available on the Play Store. If you currently already have one of my beta builds installed on your device I would recommend uninstalling it and downloading the Play Store version so that you will get timely updates and wont have to worry about checking up on this thread. Please leave some reviews/ratings on the app and let me know what you think about Fontster. (Go easy on me...its my first Android app that I spent a relatively long amount of time working on :))

Thanks chromium for the app. I too have rated and reviewed it there. Its been months since I am following this thread, I was searching a way to change fonts after trying few apps from the playstore which either gave me bootloops or wouldnt change the entire system fonts and that is how I found this thread and since then I've never looked anywhere else. First it was the flashable zips and now this wonderful app, changing fonts is so easy now. Thanks again for the app and all your hardwork u have put in making the app and also for fulfilling everyones request for new fonts in this thread. Keep up the good work.

Thanks a lot!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] v1v14n:
@ Bhaskara You would need to back up only one font type which u have before installing the fontster app. For all other fonts you can directly install from the app itself, all prvsly downloaded fonts would be saved there. Isn't it or am I missing something here??

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Just a suggestion, but in the list on the app, maybe you could make the name of the font in the actual font. What I mean is if you put Helvetica in Helvetica font or Gothic in a Gothic font, it will be very easy to scroll through the fonts and figure out what you want to try out without having to longpress-to-review or Google what they look like. Not sure if it is possible or not, but worth a mention. Nice work on the app btw. So tired of reading how RomToolbox doesn't work or RomToolbox bricked my device. lol

Edit: Don't suppose you could do a Vinque.ttf font for me? It is the one in my scrolling banner with Woody/SM/XDA in it.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Chromium:
Yes, I initially was planning on doing this, but it requires the app to download the the ttf file of every single font. Im not sure how big all the files together would be, but Im assuming its relatively large and would cause the app to take a while to load the list for the first time. I'll look into this further though and see if its feasible and may include it at some point.

And I will add Vinque soon.
