Agreed

Hey everyone,

All of you are Gods and Goddesses. I'm overwhelmed by the options and expandibility that you've demonstrated through these forums. :D

I also did this via the Segoe UI -> Tahoma swap method. It really increases the sex appeal of the TyTn, and I'm glad that it carries over to other plug-ins as well (i.e. HTC Home).

Not really sure what you are asking for...do you want the fontchanging cabs? Look at the end of the 1st post.

Or else, if you want the "Black" theme on my screenshot, it's only a UITweaker modification.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kamp:
I successfully changed the system font by following the steps in the original post. (From Tahoma to Segoe UI)

However, if I remember correctly, the font on the start button and bottom bar used to be in bold. But after the change, then are in regular (non-bold) fonts.

hey guys... changed the font on my gene to Segoe UI as per instructions... looks great :), but wanted to know how do i refine the spacing in bubble menu? check the screenshot, i think it looks a little funny
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mphayvanh:
There's no way around the distortions in the message box or battery page in settings.

FONT SPACING AND KERNING CANNOT BE CHANGED. It's the way the fonts were created (space between lines, height, dimensions, spacing before the next character, etc).

PC Progammers like to use tahoma and arial because they're ordinary and have boring characteristics but it's also predictable.

Hey Merlin_reloaded!

First off, nice job!:D I'm trying to include this SEGOE UI during the cooking process as a way to have it there permanently. I came out with a doubt which may sounds clear and stupid but I confess to be confused. I thank you to clarify me!:p

when doing the replacement, I realized into the SEGOE Ui.cab that all TTF are named as tahoma. I was expecting something related to segoe. :confused:

How should I proceed in this case?

Thanks a lot!:cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Merlin_reloaded:
Well, it's a quick and easy way - fool the WinCE font loader into thinking that Segoe is Tahoma, and load it.

Tried to change the font manually, some fonts did change to Segoe UI, but not the Today Screen bar and menu fonts and Notes listings.

Then tried mphayvanh's fix from message #21. That didn't change the Today Screen bar and menu fonts.

Finally, just went and loaded the CAB file at message #1, and it worked.

btw, this is with x7501 Athena running Real VGA!

SegoeUI and Arabic support

I have radio (upgraded) 1.27.15.32. on my TyTn2. The upgrading was for installing Arabic language support. Evertime I try using the Segoe cab it installs nicely, works well but blocks the Arabic font support. I have to uninstall to get the Arabic back.

Is there a way around this? I have not tried the original suggestion of editing the Registry. Would this work? I need both Arabic and Segoe!

Font size

Hi All,

Found it is very nice changing the system font as an alternate option, but having applied system font, i have difficulties with the size. I am using O2 Xda Stealth with small screen display, and even with the maximum font size, it is still difficult to read.

Can anyone can help me on how to change the font size? particularly in Today screen and common application.

Thanks.

SegoeUI Cab

I Just installed the SegoeUI Cab file. Very Nice indeed... Thanks for making it easy for all of us that are gun shy of messing with our registry....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edi221:
I tried the fonts and they all worked fine. But I noticed something and want to share with all. I used Treo 750, WM6. I also used Pocket Informant as my PIM. I noticed that after installing either new fonts, it affected the screen width. The new fonts make the width wider in the Pocket Informant. Had no choice but to use the original default font again. Maybe some can share if this also affected them, especially those using Treo 750 with WM6?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kensong:
Tried it on my HTC TyTN II and fonts looked okay in PocketInformant 8. However, after trying the Segoe font in various program, I opted back to Tahoma as I think it is much more legible. I also noticed a slight slowdown after replacing with Segoe especially when the screen redraws. Anyway, it was a simple uninstall thanks to the cabs installation.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] owziee:
Will this hack work in WM6 standard aswell? I have a HTC S710 and I would love to change the system font but I'm not sure if this is for PPC only?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NotShorty:
Excellent tip. Thanks, I like this font!

One interesting thing I noticed; yes, cleartype must be enabled or else it looks bad. However, in landscape mode my phone (TMobile Wing, OEM WM6, hard reset 2 days ago) disables cleartype. Even if I enter settings> screen> in landscape mode, the "enable cleartype" option is grayed out. Sliding the screen in allows you to enable cleartype.

Of course it's not a huge deal, but does anyone have a fix, or perhaps a different font that looks good without cleartype enabled?

Sorry for post copyrighted fonts

Hi guys,

Hi Merlin (sorry for unconvenience)

Hi XDA Admins (idem)

I'm sorry for post those font cabs. I won't post them anymore...

Now I understand that these are copyrighted fonts and they cant be freely distributed...

But dont worry, some app in .net will do it for you (and the font you want) without cabs.

The basic principle is very simple, just overwrite \windows\tahoma.ttf (for normal) and tahomabd.ttf (for bold) with your favorite renamed fonts.

If you cant delete or overwrite them, rename them first "tahoma.---" and "tahomabd.---" and then delete them.

To revert to original, just delete these fonts and soft-reset.

The below is assuming you've installed the Segoe font and you had chinese character recognition software already installed e.g. SunGlobe, CE Star etc.

Try editing your registry with these:

Segoe UI = \windows\sunglobe.ttc,UniSun

[HKLM/System/GDI/SYSFNT]

Nm = UniSun

[HKLM/System/GDI/FontAlias]

Segoe UI= UniSun

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] g77:
OK, uninstall don't work?

Download totalcommander or other tool that lets you rename file extensions, go to \windows folder and rename tahoma.ttf to tahoma.--- and tahomabd.ttf to tahomabd.---. Soft reset and that's it.

I will make NO MORE font cabs since some fonts are copyrighted and not redistributable. If you want to change fonts the same way cab does it, copy your favorite fonts to sd card and run this application (NETCF 2.0).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] phnikola:
Most easiest way to change your fonts:

For example - find Segoe and Segoe Bold fonts.

Rename them to tahoma and tahomabd.

Open Windows folder on your mobile device and find tahoma and tahomabd.

Replace them with the new ones.

If failed to replace (i.e. file in use error) - then use explorer (Resco for example) to put your new fonts inside Windows\Fonts folder on device. Also, change extension of original fonts (inside \Windows folder) from .ttf to something different - .ttj (this will make them unusable on the next reboot, and the system will pickup fonts from Windows\Fonts folder).

If you like your change - keep it this way, if not - just revert process.
