question... i myself have a rooted g1, but i was wondering... will this work 4 a non-rooted g1?

isnt the way the fonts changed the same way you manually update to a new update that has been sent out ota?
[Android Themes] mohsinkhan47:
I don't know but you do have the right idea. You can always try it out. Your phone shouldn't be bricked if you do this since your not flashing a boot image or anything like that. Give it try and please post your results.
[Android Themes] gweneverelynn:
Woked like a charm! My phone looks so beautiful now!!!! Thank you so much. Excellent work, my friend! :D

Love,

Gwen
[Android Themes] jakijal:
yeah, once i find some1 with a stock g1 that wouldnt mind tryin this, ill let you guys know what happens. im assuming it would work since it takes it as an 'update' for some settings. but we'll see...
[Android Themes] gweneverelynn:
Hey you! LOVE your work!!! You're amazing. I'll give give a generous donation if you could please give me a download for a large script font or Old English. I tried the script you posted. It made the phone look stunning! The only issue was I coulodn'r read anything. lol. thank you, love!

Love, Gwen:p

I really want to use a font from the mk47.weebly.com site posted in here, its called anywhere. But when I try to flash it, it aborts and says bad zip. I re-downloaded it and the same thing. Can anyone help me figure it out? Do you just get any font and zip it to work with this?
[Android Themes] jakijal:
from what i was reading in an earlier post, what you do is get the font file you want. you rename it to whatever it is in the zipped file you had previously downloaded. you keep everything else the same.

for example, if you want to use the 'comic sans' font, you have to get that file, make two copies, and rename it to 'DroidSans' and 'DroidSans-Bold'. then, you zip those two up along with the other files the original zipped file came with.

edit: you have to delete those single files in the meta-inf folder or whatever its called. there is one folder within the meta-inf folder and three other files. delete those 3 files. then you zip. then finally you have to sign the zipped file.
[Android Themes] typedink:
Im not sure I follow you there lol.

Lets say I download anywhere font and its anywhere.zip, I edit that zip? OR replace the font into a zip I downloaded from lets say here?

How would I sign the file?
[Android Themes] typedink:
Ok I tried the above suggested but failed. If anyone can I don't know do a video tutorial, or something I would love to try different fonts, but meanwhile if anyone could please do both of these fonts on this page, anywhere and anywhere but home that you can download here:

http://www.dafont.com/search.php?psize=m&q=anywhere+bold

I'd appreciate it so much.
[Android Themes] SG_Shadow:
how to...

...create a zip file of a font you want? I have the font files, I just want to create a zip update for easy flashing. I've posted this almost 3 times, yet no response. Please assist if possible.
[Android Themes] SG_Shadow:
I've asked this question in 4 different post. No one can answer. It's like a secret amongst developers. I would really appreciate an answer.

*update* I believe I have found the answer to my question after hours of searching online. Here is the link, http://androidforums.com/developer-101/8665-how-signing-roms.html
[Android Themes] jakijal:
yeah, the zipped file has to be signed. else, it wont work. lol.

and there's a thread here on these forums about signing also. i figured that out a while back when i wasnt able to flash my own zipped files cuz they werent signed. but there is a program out in the forums that does this. just have to search for it.
[Android Themes] typedink:
I just cant seem to get it to work. I guess I will have to wait until someone offers to do some requested fonts.

----**update**:

I got it to work, I successfully made zipped font, signed and all BUT the text is TINY. Is there something I need to change or is it just a font that will not work? I followed the instructions on the page SG_Shadow linked to. Thx by the way for that.

***UPDATE AGAIN****

Well I think it is just not compatible, I made another Beyond Wonderland and it looks ok. Bold is a bit blurry but I'm willing to sacrifice a bit. Haven't checked browsing yet, but here are some caps and the font. Now that I got this working I'll be happy to do some requests. Might be weekends only cause of work and school but this is something to really customize your phone and I really like this. Now I don't know if this is 100% like the others in here but I made it, and tried it on my phone without an issue, and I have a Mytouch 3G.
[Android Themes] jakijal:
i think your stuck with the size of fonts displaying on your phone unless you make your own theme or something. this will just replace the font 2 the previously configured font sizes.

so how were you able to sign the zipped files afterall?
[Android Themes] typedink:
I followed the instructions posted on the site SG_Shadow linked to a few posts up. I found where to change the size of the font, in Spare Parts, but once I exit Spare Parts the font goes back to normal, don't know why.
[Android Themes] typedink:
Here is another font and it looks great overall on the phone, at least on my MyTouch. Fairy Dust.
[Android Themes] jakijal:
i was able to do the signing now. well, as of last night. it was easier than i thought.

and yeah... some of the fonts do appear 2 small.

so how did you change the size settings through spare parts?
[Android Themes] typedink:
Just go into Spare Parts and it will say Font Size or something like that and you can change it there, but it goes back to the default size once you close spare parts, so it dont work.
[Android Themes] mohsinkhan47:
4

What is the font's name? I can edit it so it appears bigger. Right now I am working on bleeding cowboy.

And some news to you guys I am going to post fonts up at androidspin.com.
[Android Themes] jakijal:
well i havent decided which one to use. lol. still debating. but ill let you know if anything comes up 2 mind...
[Android Themes] typedink:
Bleeding cowboy was nice just too large. The smaller fonts I wanted to try was "anywhere" and "anywhere but here". I tried to do as well the Nemo font here:

http://www.dafont.com/nemo.font

I didn't try the Nemo nightmare because I figured the size would be the same, Nemo font is too small, I've attached a screencap of the Nemo font, its the shot with the folders.

I also did this one font called Ithornet that you can find here:

http://www.dafont.com/search.php?psize=m&q=ithornet

Too small as well in some areas. I've attached screens for it as well, its the one that you see the keyboard in.

Now with The King and Queen font here:

http://www.dafont.com/the-king-queen-font.font

It is too big, way too big, bigger then Bleeding Cowboys font. Obviously its the cap thats left, the one with large letters.

If anyone wants I can upload the signed zips but until we can get the phone to enlarge the font and keep it enlarged they wont do much good.
[Android Themes] typedink:
Here is a working font, its the Twilight font used for the movie. You can find the font here:

http://twilightsource.com/fonts.php

I plan to do the other ones listed on that page as well.
[Android Themes] mohsinkhan47:
Ok. I'll get to it.
[Android Themes] Stericson:
You know, you could make a metamorph with ALL of your fonts in it, rather then having users download and flash a font pack in recovery one by one.

This metamorph could hold ALL of your fonts in one package and allow users to quickly change fonts as they please.

If you are interested, contact me and I'll help ya get it done :)

Im suggesting this because I would LOVE to have a ton of different fonts at my disposal any time id like.

Best Regards,

Stericson
[Android Themes] typedink:
So putting them in a metamorph would allow easy font changes without having to boot into recovery and flash one by one? That would be very useful as it is a little nag to have to boot into recovery. I have no idea how a metamorph works though. Could fonts be easily added as made as well?
[Android Themes] Stericson:
Absolutely.

I can help you make it, im showing interest because I would love to have a huge font pack available on my phone.

Send me an email or get with me on Gtalk,

Stericson.g1@gmail.com

Best Regards,

Stericson
[Android Themes] typedink:
I just had a nice chat with Stericson and Stericson helped me out on using his Metamorph application and showed me how it would be simple to have one zip that houses all the fonts I want. This is how I'll add fonts from now on. I'll post a link later on where it will be and go from there. Thanks again Stericson. Thanks to the original poster for showing us changing fonts is possible.

*edited to add*

Ok so I'll be uploading the font file here:

http://typedink.com/wp/my-android-files/

Side note, I am a girl, the page is part of my wordpress which is my personal blog where I rant and talk about whatever, so just ignore that if you wish.
[Android Themes] mohsinkhan47:
I'm a guy. I like site and thank you for your brillant idea. I am a editor at androidspin and I am allowed to post fonts on that site : androidspin.com. It would be a easier to let more people to view the fonts. Invite me at gtalk please.

[Android Themes] mohsinkhan47:
Oh. I forgot to tell you guys I got a font editing software that let's me to edit the size and as well the design of the fonts.
[Android Themes] typedink:
Sorry was out so did not see this til now. I like being able to upload it to my own site that I manage, its easier.

What font editing program do you use? I have one by High Logic but have not had a go at it yet. Going to look at it probably tomorrow.
[Android Themes] mohsinkhan47:
Yeah that is the one that I have.
[Android Themes] typedink:
Ok I wanted to have a zip ready by tonight but I have family out of town and I got my 2 young nephews and my young niece and one kid is hard to deal with, let alone 3 but I should have time tomorrow after I get back from a field trip with my youngest nephew... bunch of 1st graders *sigh*. Gonna he tough... but yeah I should have time to relax the rest of the weekend and get this up by tonight, or tomorrow night on my website.
[Android Themes] typedink:
Ok I am working on making the file right now, so will be up in a bit at http://typedink.com/wp/my-android-files/
[Android Themes] spiritcrusher33:
will these work on darchlegend 4.1 for the sprint hero? i love that 28 days later font!!!!
[Android Themes] typedink:
I do not know if it will, I do not have a lot of know how with the Metamorph app but if your phone can run it, I would believe so. I have uploaded a font pack and will be adding more fonts to it. Currently there is 6, some I posted here on the board, and two others also posted on here by someone else that I liked and know others on here liked as well.

[Android Themes] turtle1981:
Sorry but I'm new to the android world. Do I need to root the phone to apply these fonts also how do I instal the fonts. Please be specific, I'm a noob. Thanks...
[Android Themes] jakijal:
well, as far as rooting... i think every1 who has tried to change the fonts is rooted. if you go back and read previous posts, i also was curious to know if this would work on a non rooted phone. i had my reasons why it should work on non rooted phones, but i havent tried it on someone else's non rooted phone.

as far as instructions, i have some instructions on post #102. some people were still confused after they read it but its not that hard.

mohsinkhan47 (the creator of the thread) and typedink both have files with fonts on their own sites. else you can ask them for a specific font if you dont like what you see i guess. i also know can do it. just depends if you wanna try 2 do it on a non rooted phone or not. lol.
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
It's changing system files, which requires root so I think it won't work :)
[Android Themes] jakijal:
so how does the manual updating of android version work? i mean, arent you just updating certain things?

or unless you change the font in the android version zipped files, and then just reflash that. i dunno. thats what i was thinking originally.
[Android Themes] typedink:
I would not try this on a non-rooted phone, the way I have my files set up you need Metamorph which is only for rooted phones.

Does anyone have a specific font they would like? I am going to add more by the end of the week, during the week I got work and school, weekend is usually homework (sad isn't it), but I try to squeeze in fun things such as messing with my phone, movies, and now this lol.
[Android Themes] cmsweet21:
hand of sean +10 char!:D

im loving this =DDD

tnx!
[Android Themes] cmsweet21:
does this affect the theme?

or just the font of the theme?
[Android Themes] typedink:
@cmsweet21 It changes the font for the entire phone, regardless of theme.

I will add Hand of Sean @ the end of the week.
[Android Themes] SoCalSpecialist:
can someone sign and zip up the attached fonts?

thanks alot guys/gals!!
[Android Themes] typedink:
@SoCalSpecialist If you use metamorph which is what you need to use to use the fonts I do, I can add them for you by Sat, Sun night. Using Metamorph means they don't even have to be signed.
[Android Themes] SoCalSpecialist:
cant use MM, for some reason its not working right with the eris (kinda sucks), but thats why i asked for the old fashion way so we can flash them from the recovery..
[Android Themes] jakijal:
so are the .ttf fonts already the renamed font u wanted? im assuming yes, but just making sure.

@SoCalSpecialist...

i went ahead and made separate zipped files for each font, all signed and everything. i think you may have a problem with the last font, helvetica. it usually gives me a font icon in the folder, but instead i got an icon pertaining to an unrecognized file. but i still signed that also just in case.

and as always... make ur backup 1st before trying them...
[Android Themes] SoCalSpecialist:
thanks for this!

ill report back with any errors..
[Android Themes] typedink:
@SoCalSpecialist glad you got the fonts signed! Sorry about that, been a busy weekend. I added fonts to my zip for use with Metamorph, I have not uploaded the new zip yet as I need to still take screencaps to place the examples up and make sure the fonts I added work well size wise, etc. Wanted to get them up by last night but with Easter and my ENG102 paper I got a bit behind. Should be up by tomorrow night.
[Android Themes] typedink:
Sorry for the delay, I tested out 6 fonts I added, 3 were not compatible (meaning too small or to large font) and I dont got the time to make them larger or smaller at the moment, once classes end perhaps, so for now I am sticking to already made fonts. 3 Did however work and I will be getting the new zip uploaded and the screencaps for the 3 that worked up tonight.
[Android Themes] SoCalSpecialist:
yes i did get the fonts signed.

jakijal made the fonts for me the zip was attached a couple of posts up.

so far so bueno, no problems at all..all u have to do is flash them from recovery
[Android Themes] typedink:
Ok I've updated the zip on my site, added 3 fonts, Hand of Sean, Katy Berry, and Baby Don't Worry About It. Screens available on my Android page.
[Android Themes] infinity51:
Hey! Goood job but I'm french and I don't have accents in the fonts! (é, à,...)

It's possible for you to resolve this problem?

Thk's
[Android Themes] typedink:
@infinity51 I'm sorry I do not think I can resolve that. I think the font has to have that in it for that to work, at least I think so. If not, its still a bit beyond me to figure out how to add accents. Sorry.
[Android Themes] jakijal:
i believe the font file itself has to have these characters already included. the creator of the font had 2 include all these different characters. if its a font that you can just download from any font site, typically you wont have the letters with the accent marks. they'll usually just do the basic letters and numbers. no special characters.
[Android Themes] be0ne:
How do I go back from a custom font ?

@ typedink : thanks for providing the font archive, it works great. Would it be possible to add the stock android font (Droidsans) in the zip file in order to "restore" it ?

The only way I found to return to the standard font was to use a nandroid backup but if there's an easiest way... let me know :D
[Android Themes] typedink:
@be0ne, I don't see why not... I don't got it but if you know where I can get it, I'll add it. Let me know.
[Android Themes] be0ne:
Here they are

The Droid fonts are available from android.git.kernel.org (Apache License, Version 2.0) : DroidSans tar.gz

Or you can browse the dedicated website from Ascender (the company who created Droid) at http://www.droidfonts.com/

I am still adding fonts to my archive, I've just been real busy, and will be out of work in a few months so I've been searching for a new one, I should get back to adding fonts this weekend or early next week. I need to try out the newest Metamorph update as I've not done that yet, sorry for update delays.
[Android Themes] sxufeastkilla:
thank you so much for all this awsome fonts, but i am having a problem downloading the OLD ENGLISH it says file deleted or something do you think it would possible for u to post the "OLD ENGLISH.ZIP" here i would really appreciate it :D...
[Android Themes] sxufeastkilla:
Damn, so no one can help me out :/
[Android Themes] jakijal:
okay, so you need the old english font in a zipped file that will be flashed through recovery?
[Android Themes] k4r1m:
how about neutraface anyone?
[Android Themes] jakijal:
okay, well i can probably do it for you if you give me a link to where i can download this font file or you can upload it on a post urself.

i attached an old english zipped file you can try. its been a while since i've done prepared these files but i did have a text file that i had created to remind me of how it was supposed to been done.

i would do a nandroid backup or whatever you use to do a backup on your phone before trying to flash this just in case it doesnt work. the other files i uploaded many pages back worked so im goin to assume this should work also.

let me know how it goes...

EDIT: re-uploaded the zipped file and is now working!
[Android Themes] sxufeastkilla:
Thank you so much for responding :D, but unfortunately it didn't work I tried flashing it trough Rom Manager and Manually and nothing changed everything still looked the same :(..

I flashed the fighting spirit. Everything is great except I'm missing a lot of symbols on my keyboard. I'm using the gingerbread 2.3 keyboard. Any suggestions?

[Android Themes] jakijal:
okay, i changed a couple of things in the zipped file and tried it on my old g1 and it works now. so you can go grab it on my previous post, where u got it from last time. i just re-uploaded it again to that same post.

alright, well im not sure where the font file originated from but you can go off of this one for as an example.

go here... http://www.dafont.com/fighting-spirit-tbs.font

scroll down to where the symbols are at.

from there, you can see what characters the font file will include. so since it doesnt have a modified character for every normal character... you will more than likely see blanks instead of the character you want when youre typing.

hopefully that made sense to you...
[Android Themes] sxufeastkilla:
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! It looks awsome, can't thank you enough :D

how about making a cab file with zero byte clone files to overwrite them?
[Wing, P4350 General] ivanmmj:
The files would still be in the ROM. They'd just be hidden from your view with zero byte files. Your free space wouldn't increase.
