Glad you like them. No more CABs for a while, I'm having trouble with my CAB creator. I'll get back to doing some more when and if I can.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] scrpn30:
Hi everybody, and thank you Major_Sarcasm for your work!

I installed Sarcy's 6.5 Handel System Font.cab on my diamond (WM6.5) but I have a problem with the clock in the titanium : for example, I have "09:5..." instead of having "09:58"

I think it's a size problem, but I don't know how to reduce the clock size in titanium... If you have an idea...

Thanks a lot !
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
Ahh, I was afraid of that. I didn't check all the number combinations, and some are too wide. You could try editing the homescreen file, do a search as I can't remember what it's called, or just install one of the other fonts. Kabel is rather nice and works perfectly (it's the one I'm using right now).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
I can fix the font, but not until I get my CAB software working again, sorry. I didn't get a chance to check all number combinations with Titanium. Try one of the other fonts until I can fix Handel. Try Kabel, that's a really nice font, and is the one I'm using myself at the moment.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] scrpn30:
Ok, I'll try to look to homescreen file, but I'm not sure to find... I solved the problem for the morning by using H:mm display instead of HH:mm, but i still have the problem with 20:08...

So i'm interested if you can fix Handel, because I love it!!

Thanks!

Hi Major_Sarcasm

would it be possible that you can take a look on the "Droid Fonts" from the android devices? they aren´t really special but, I think they are necessary for a hero skinned blackstone:D

Nokia Font required for 6.5

Major

I am attaching the Nokia font cab file ,

This cab does not work properly in 6.5 Latest Leo ROM, it does not change the fonts in all places.

Can you do a magic and create a Cab that will work on 6.5..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SoCalSpecialist:
sucks that this thread died out..he was doing some great stuff here!

either way..if ur reading this, ur work is much appreciated major
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
Thanks mate, sorry I've not updated in a while. Life caught up with me. I may resurrect this thread at some point.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Spoofy:
Good Job, Just wondering if this works on 6.5.1? Will this change the font of the buttons on the new start bar?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
Yes, my font CABs work with all the latest builds, here's a couple of screenshots of MaryOne x0.02 (23502 / 2.5.19201130.0).

Incidentally, this ROM is the best 6.5/Leo ROM that I've used. It's most excellent.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] stargator:
Major

Can you pls check this request I had put in earlier, the old cab that I have attached was for Windows 6.1 and does not change fonts in all places in 6.5.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
OK, first proper update in a while(!)

@stargator, I've done the Nokia CAB for you. It's a nice clean font, bit plain for my tastes, but it's certainly very legible on-screen.

For some odd reason the forum wouldn't let me upload this CAB without zipping it first, not sure why. So, sorry, you'll have to unzip this one before installation.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
I've done a straight Helvetica CAB for you. You don't really see much difference whilst using TF3D tabs, but Titanium looks rather nice I think.

Hi Major

Thanks a lot , this is what I wanted, Awesome job..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
It's a nice font. I had a fair bit of trouble with it though! Although it looks fairly small, it's pretty wide and wouldn't display the clock properly in Titanium and the calendar was b0rked too. Still, I'm pretty sure I've fixed it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
No worries mate.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
There were several versions of that font in the .rar file. A serif and a sans serif and some italicised. I chose the sans serif as it has nice clean lines. If you wanted me to try and incorporate the serif version as well, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Maybe use the serif for Titanium?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
LOL, I spend long enough making all these fonts work without trying to find some obscure font for you!

If you can find it, I'll have a go at converting it.

Right, I think that's all the requests dealt with :D

Edit: Is this the font you're looking for (attached)? If it is, do you know how long it took me to find that font with Google? About 30 seconds.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dagosjt:
Hello,

I like a lot to change often my wallpapers, so it happens that in some of that I find white zones and of course text became impossible to read.

Probably I could change text color, but I would have similar problem with black backgrounds.

I'm sure the best solution for case like mine is to make font "glow", that is to add a contour black to the white font... This is possible in S2U2 and in WAD2 for example, and it works well.

The problem is I wasn't able to find a font with "inside" glow. I hope I was clear, anybody have any idea about such font?

Thanks

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
As I stated earlier in this thread, these are just for fun and a lot of the fonts I find don't have all the extended characters. Nothing I can do about that.

If you can find fonts that have all the characters you need, I'll gladly make a CAB for you.

I believe that this CAB I made earlier today has all the extended character set. I know the font's a bit boring, but...

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hungera:
hi sarcasm, i'm more interested on your tab icons and start menu icons, can u share?..thanks..:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
You know what? This really annoys me. I've spent hours creating these CABs for others to use (I don't even use them myself! I only ever use one; Eras).

Then you come along and ask me to tell you what tab icons I use. You couldn't even be bothered to read the very first page of the thread. If you had, you'd have seen the same question asked (and answered by me), and several more times over the next few pages. It's even in my bloody signature!

The amount of people on this forum who expect to be spoon-fed is staggering.

I have a whole bunch more interesting fonts that I've found to make CABs from. Posts like this make me not want to bother.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
Excellent :)

Let me see what I can do. It might not work, but I'll give it a go ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
Not sure if this is the effect you're after. The characters loose their hollowness on such a small screen.

Arialic Hollow is just about readable, but not one that I would keep for day-to-day use! Looks good on the Titanium home screen though :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
OK, here's another one that might work for what you're after.

Forgotten Futurist Shadow. As it has a small drop-shadow, it may show up against light backgrounds.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dagosjt:
Thanks a lot!

Yes, the Arialic Hollow it's simply not usable :(

The futuristic font for sure is better readable, I think I give it a go :cool:

Opera problem

These are great, thanks for all the hard work. I have noticed a problem with Opera though. When I try to leave a comment on a forum with Opera I get this;

Software and hardware keyboard do the same thing. I've only tried the droid font so I don't know if the other do this as well. Text boxes like login fields or search engines work normal, but the comments/reply box at PPCGeeks (mobile & full) and a few other sites I tested give the results above. I uninstalled the the font cab and everything works normally now. I'm running Mighty rom.

Just thought I'd let you know, I'll probably try some of the other fonts later, I'll let you know if the same thing happens.

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

I can confirm this with the Helvetica cab as well, I don't plan to test the others, maybe someone who has already installed them can test this.

Thank you!!! Handel font working on my Sprint Touch Pro 2...WM 6.1.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kobbz:
This has got me wondering...

whether it would be possible to create a .cab similar to Trebuchet MS (9pt) font?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
Interesting. I hardly ever use Opera for posting to forums (I find it way to fiddly), so I'd not encountered this.

Really not sure where those characters are coming from. Very odd indeed.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
Well it shouldn't! 6.1 & 6.5 use different font names in the windows directory. Do this at your own risk. The thread title clearly states 6.5.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
I'll look into it. Watch this space. It'll be interesting to see if an MS font gives the Opera problem described above.

Edit: OK, attached is Trebuchet for testing. If this one works, I'll look into the differences between the fonts, but I might have an idea already as to why the glitching is happening.

@animez: Can you do me a favour & see if you can re-create the problem with this font? Thanks.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] norcal1079:
Thanks for the great work! How can we donate to you? I installed the Handel cab on my Tilt2. I love the font but it pushed one digit off the TF3D weather screen so I will choose the next bold font cab. A dark font would be cool since I can't use a light wallpaper & still read the home screen fonts. Thanks again.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
I don't accept donations as I do this for fun.

The trouble with Handel, although it's a nice looking font (I like it too), is that it's just too wide for the limited display areas coded into the phones' layouts. I've already squashed it a bit, but if I squash it much more, it'll become a mess!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
If you find a font, I will make a CAB for you! I don't have much time to devote to this, so I'm sorry, but I haven't got the time to be trawling the net looking for fonts that support other languages. It's time-consuming enough finding fonts that work ok on the displays in WWE, let alone Cyrillic fonts!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mrchambo:
Yes, really...

I'm new to all this and do have a custom ROM for the Ozone, but want to make sure that these font CABs will work...

Thanks,

JC
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
The thread title states 'WM6.5'. My 1st and 3rd posts explicitly state that these CABs are for Windows Mobile 6.5 only. However, my thread is in the Blackstone section of XDA, so you pays your money (or not, in this case, as I'm not asking for any) and you takes your chances.

Other people have installed these CABs on devices other than Blackstones without issue (and have replied in this thread).

I'm really not sure what more I can say.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mrchambo:
Steve,

Thanks for the reply. You do great work...

I will be patient as folks start to develop fonts and such for the Ozone...

I Install this in my Topaz (T.Diamond2) and everything's just great. I love it.

Then I was browsing in Opera, and I noticed that my messagesbody are not able to read. Look here:

The characters are encoded or something.

BTW, I'm Portuguese but I don't miss any character when writing a sms.

Could this by a language factor here? :confused:

That's the only bad thing I noticed so far.

Can you help me?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
I can't do it, but I've attached Eras for you.

I like that, it's on the list for when I get a minute!

I'm going to look at this issue over the next couple of days and hopefully find a solution.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JoeVulture:
I see the same thing on my HTC/AT&T Tilt 2 - it's apparently not a language encoding issue, but I broke apart Sarcy's Segoe UI Condensed CAB and in looking at _setup.xml, noticed that it overwrites Courier New and Wingdings, which causes the issue. When I rebuilt the CAB to not do that, I was able to get text again (as opposed to symbols).

Not overwriting cour.ttf also allows Courier New to be used as a font in applications (trying to use PocketPutty with a proportional font just sucks), but there is another problem introduced: If Courier is not overwritten (or if it is, and any other extra monospace font is installed), then the context menus (that come from the left/right soft keys) will be in that monospace font.

I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary in the XML file, just file replacements. I'm guessing that perhaps the OS has some hard-coded font metrics its looking for?

I'm going to see if I can at least figure out which overwrite causes what.

-- Joe

EDIT: It's the replacement of the Helvetica fonts that is screwing everything up, which is a bummer - they're the crappy fonts of Manila. :(

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
Quite right, so it does. I didn't have a chance to test some of these fonts with M2.5, nor could I test with every manila page unfortunately.

I just tried Kabel on my HD2 and it displays the year page fine. It must be a quirk of Segoe. Don't think there's anything I can do about it.

Large Font needed for Visually Impaired

I just purchased a Samsung Intrepid with Windows Mobile 6.5 on it. The old Windows mobile came with an accessibility option that made everything on the phone very large. It seems not to exist in this update. I can zoom with the volume button, but I can't tap anything when it is zoomed. I tried installing one of the fonts you attached that you said might be larger, but it was not large enought. Is there anyway to install a very large font. I have the font set to the largest size on the phone, but it is still way to small. Thanx
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
Sorry I've not been updating this thread for a little while, had a lot of other stuff to do.

@batshevaf: The problem with installing large fonts is that the system doesn't know they're large. Everything on screen is formatted for a certain size and the system will scale the font when you choose it to be larger on the font-size slider. When you install a large font, it tends to knacker the formatting and you end up with the calendar not displaying properly, text running off the edge of the screen, the titanium clock won't display, etc, etc. It really does cause a lot of problems.

If you can find a large font, I'll make a CAB for you, but I think it'll cause you even more grief.
