You can't I'm afraid, that's just how Android works.

I'll stress this here one more time, but please do not use the old versions from here unless really necessary. The version on the Market is vastly superior.
[Desire Themes and Apps] rogermorse:
yes i have the one from the market. It is still a bit weird how it works...with the stock android font, I DON'T get the same font (that android font) all over the websites...but as soon as I put one custom font, every web page goes with that font. :(

where i can get Comic Sans MS Mod?
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
I'm afraid due to its license you can't. But if you shrink Comic Sans MS horizontally by around 80-90% then you should get something similar.
[Desire Themes and Apps] blueren:
I have a problem. I loved the app and installed the free version from the market. It worked smoothly for the first 2 times. The third time i restarted, the fonts are getting recognized by the app, but it keeps telling me - failed to load font, apply at your own risk.

I reinstalled the app 3 times over but this problem persists. What do I do now?

edit - got it working.

missing special characters after font changer

I used the method described in this post to change to whitehall.ttf that problem is that I'm missing the special characters as the @ for example because is not included in that package, all the fonts that I've tried are missing these symbols

Is there anyway to add them separately so I can keep the font selected

And what should I do to get themback

Thanks in advance beasts
[Desire Themes and Apps] nikosrs4:
working on DJDroid 1.1 ;)

thanks

can you explain how does it work? what does app exactly do?

maybe we could use that trick in other things also..framework-res.apk perhaps??
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
The trick is exactly the same as many ROMs have started to use recently for the boot animation. Instead of having it hard coded in the system partition, it is replaced by a link pointing to a more convenient location where it can be easily replaced by the user. The application is really just a very simple selector that copies the font which the user chose over the one that is being pointed to by the previously mentioned link ('symlink' for tech savvy people).

And yes, the same trick could be used with many other things, for example the framework apk that you mentioned. The only problem is when something goes wrong (some posts in this thread serve as an example too). Certain files are on the system partition for a very good reason.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Beppemi:
Soo nice!! Im trying on LeeDroid 1.7b.

I will give you feedback.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Beppemi:
Work soo good on Leedroid 1.7b.

Fantastic work.

Do u know where i can find more font to add??
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
100fonts.com and dafont.com based on a recommendation from my friend should be good.
[Desire Themes and Apps] nikosrs4:
should we see a file somewhere in the update.zip? cause there is nothing except the fonts..

I'll make a research about symlink.. thanks.
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
The symlink is created in the update script.

See 'man ln'.

any chance this would work on a stock froyo rom (rooted of course) from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741775

any body know how i could get these fonts into swype

i tested it on official froyo 2.2 with busybox and it doesn´t work...

any help please...
[Desire Themes and Apps] Captain Splash:
Rather than using a program to push the fonts to the phone can you just add them to the zip and then reflash?

Thanks

[Desire Themes and Apps] Beppemi:
Which are the better way to insert more font to the program?

I downloaded new font and I'd like to know how I can put in the program.

[Desire Themes and Apps] donald-c:
Seems to mess up my radio, when I install this my signal drops fully (doesn't come back either) after around 5 minutes.

ROM etc in my sig :)

Hmm ignore this post, wiped and reflashed, still happening.

Weird, it was working this morning :-S
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
You asked about exec reboot in the known bugs section of the OP?

If you use exec then you will run the adb command in a different shell, meaning that it will run seperately from your script.

If you are using Windows then on your script type: adb shell reboot

For Linux/Mac type: ./adb shell reboot

NOTE: obviously you can only do those commands once you have CD'd into your ADB directory.
[Desire Themes and Apps] j.blaze:
It just looks awesome. In some parts (dialer) the font is a bit too big. is it possible to make the font 1pt smaller?
[Desire Themes and Apps] mrbishi:
Working great on OD 3.2.0 :) I used the included 'Comfortaa' font and it's looking really nice, amazing what a difference changing the font makes.

Great work :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] j.blaze:

[Desire Themes and Apps] MastaPole:
It work also on Pinky 1.6
[Desire Themes and Apps] karimero:
Great post, thanks! Maybe a good option in a next release would be to include a possibility to change the spacing between lines.

F.e. now my contacts + apps that have a two-line name only show a full first line, and the second line is poorly readable, because of a too small distance between the lines. I am using the Sean handwriting font by the way.

Other than that everything works fine!

[Desire Themes and Apps] koRn666:
Great mod!!! Works perfect in NexTSense 5.3, thank you so much!!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
There is not much I can do about that. I'm a developer, not a font designer. Your only bet is to find someone that is willing to do it, learn it yourself, or switch to a different font. Sorry.

I can't include that ability sadly, as it requires a direct modification of the fonts (or files in the system partition -- I don't know exactly how Android handles font spacing, whether it uses just what the fobt has or adds its own padding).

I will expand the program to have the ability to add the fonts in an easier manner later on. At the moment you can modify the zip yourself to add fonts, but you will need to sign it again.

hey i can't install the app. "beim prasen des packet ist ein problem aufgetreten" in english: a problem occurred when the packet is prase" ore something similar
[Desire Themes and Apps] cybermessiah:
Hi Guys...

This sounds like a great mod

Before I try I was wondering if anyone has installed and used this successfully on the following Rom:

Official 2.2, with: busybox, old A2SD+, OpenVPN (TUN), EXT4 support, 802.11N

Cheerz in advance!! :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] Dafferen:
I can confirm that it works on NextSense 5.3.
[Desire Themes and Apps] nstrand:

The only font changer that works on my device - thanks for the additional fonts!
[Desire Themes and Apps] scouseingib:
Seems that the extra fonts dont work 100% on LeeDroid 1.8. It changes some of the txt to chosen new font/extra font but leaves most on previous selected font. Lock Screen, home screen, main apps menu, msg's, emails, web, and most other things. Only things i noticed change were the home screen top right time and one or two other little things that i am sorry but cant remember right now, phone not on me to check atm.
[Desire Themes and Apps] DesirableHTC:
+1 for this.

Thank you for a very cool add on, works a charm with LeeDroid 1.9. Would like to know how more fonts can be added? i have flashed the .zip with more fonts but was wondering if there are any other fonts to add?

Thanks

[Desire Themes and Apps] DesirableHTC:
Anyone?

thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] sonderschalter:
Taken from the first post:

So either you push new fonts with adb, or (in case you´re not familiar with it) use e.g. root explorer (paid app in the market) to do it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Chillkroete_:
Nice Mod :)

Thanks Mate !
[Desire Themes and Apps] umd:
Works good. Thanks :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
Not sure what the problem is as I can't check any of the fonts in that package right now. It is possible that some of the bold fonts are missing, and therefore the bold is used from the previous font that was applied. The guy who posted the extra package would need to clarify this issue at the moment.

Truetype fonts are supported; TTF. Anything in that format should work.
[Desire Themes and Apps] DesirableHTC:
Thanks, i did read it as well!! :o

where would you find more fonts then with both files? there are some good ones in the two zips in this thread, but a lot look alike, i would like to have a bigger choice. But that doesn't detract from the fact that i am hugely grateful for this.

Many thanks.

Hi,

I am using LeeDrOid 2.0a A2SD+ with Carbon EspressoMod ala BrightSilence 2.0, after installing your mod (.zip) my default font has successfully changed.

But the .apk doesn't work on my configuration, I can show fonts, play with them but when I set a font and reboot, this done nothing.

Do I miss something or it's just not working on my configuration?

Thanks in advance for your reply and great job anyway.

[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
The font is too big and the applications screen uses a fixed row layout (therefore not allowing for rescaling based on the height and the width of the font). And before anyone asks; Sorry, but I won't edit any of the fonts.

I know about the reboot issue and I will look into it.

Back from holiday now so there should be some updates coming soon, I hope.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Eggcake:
On helvetica, special characters are missing. Can't even choose them on the keyboard.

Otherwise working really good on LeeDroid 2.0c.

Thank you for sharing it with us!

If your device doesn't reboot, just reboot manually!

Edit: actually its missing on every fontI tested so far... so until this is fixed I have to revert everything :s
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
Which special characters? Even on a font like Times New Roman, Verdana or Comic Sans? Those fonts should include them, but if they don't work even there then that's a strange issue. Otherwise it's just the font creators being lazy and xenophobic, and leaving the issue outside of my jurisdiction unfortunately.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Eggcake:
That would be ä, ö, ü etc... tested with helvetica and droidfont (hope I remember that correctly).

There were more missing which I don't use as there were many placeholder-rectangles displayed on the keyboard.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Moe5508:
Firstly a disclaimer, this is not my work. I've just borrowed other great people's stuff and added it to this font pack plus a few other fonts that I found on the web but pack now includes the great REVolution theme font & minimalistic font as well.

[Desire Themes and Apps] d0g:
didn't work on sprint evo 2.2

OK, so I'm an idiot. I tried this without doing a nandroid backup. HELP!

(On Sprint EVO running 2.2, rooted with unrevoked 3.21.)

Totally messed everything up -- FCs everywhere, including android.process.acore.

I tried running the remove_defaultsense zip, but to no avail.

Does anyone have a clue how I can fix this, short of flashing a whole new ROM??

Doh!
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
You tried a mod for the Desire without doing a backup... Oh dear... OK, let me ask what ROM are you using then to see the structure of it. I have no idea about the EVO, so this may be difficult. Sorry...
[Desire Themes and Apps] d0g:
I'm running the original HTC Sense ROM that came with it.

I tried manually running the commands in the remove script through adb; but that didn't help.

I think I'm going to just flash a new ROM anyway.

I was in such a rush to get Helvetica that I failed to see that this was a Desire forum! Rash, rash...
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
Requirements state you need a ROM with busybox. Stock ROMs don't have that! :(

I might have to start putting things on the SD card... fonts folder is 14MB now >_>
[Desire Themes and Apps] d0g:
Requirements also say (in red!) to do a nandroid backup, too !-)

Obviously I'm not paying attention today.

FWIW, Titanium backup said I did have busybox...

Anyway, I'm flashing the BakedSnack ROM. Supposed to be better...

Thanks anyway!
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
Mmmm okay... Maybe I'll take a look at it later, to see how the EVO and Desire are different. But anyway, if you manage to flash the update later and it will work please let me know. Sorry about the trouble caused again.
[Desire Themes and Apps] faddys123:
How can I make the font smaller ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
I added the new fonts to the zip, so fonts version 1.2 is out now in the front post or here. Thank you to the people who found those fonts (sorry, I will add your names later when I will solve my internet problems). If you have Font Changer installed already, all you need to do is just flash that zip and you're ready to go.

Also you need ~15MB of free space on internal storage to flash the new one.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Moe5508:
A little bit more info on your kind of error/message will help people assist you.
[Desire Themes and Apps] minedune:
thanks, this is incredible!

i added some fonts via root explorer, and it worked fine, but when i went to delete all the rest, apart from the ones i added myself, the app force closed on me, and only started working when i re-flashed the fonts in the update.zip

are there some fonts i am not allowed to delete? should i not touch droidsans?

i added a japanese font, which is 5mb, and it worked great, but i don't have a bold version of it. what should i do? would this cause any problems? i thought about copying the font and appending 'bold' to the end, so there would be no problems with bold fonts, but then this would take away another 5mb of my phone memory.

what should i do, or is it acutally fine to not have a bold version? when is the bold version used?

also, i was using root explorer and looked in 'data/drm', and saw a fonts folder there aswell, and saw that it was the same as the one in 'data/local'.

why is that?

-edit. i'm using a stock 2.2 rom, root with unrevoked and busybox added by myself.

thank you very much!
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
DefaultFont and DroidSans with their bold counterparts need to be kept, that's why you got a force close. If you don't have a bold one, then just copying the font and appending bold to it will work fine -- just you won't have a proper bold in that case. Bold version is used for some text, I think fairly often in the Gmail application. You'll have to see for yourself how it looks with and without it.

I have absolutely no idea about 'data/drm', but I just noticed that it has a copy of all the files from 'data/local'. Maybe just a symlink? I don't know...

Thank you for the kind words by the way.
[Desire Themes and Apps] minedune:
ah, i thought that was the case, thanks!

is there anyway you could make it so that when i trick the system by copying the font and naming it xyz-bold, to make a symlink from defaultfont.ttf to the defaultfontbold.ttf

it sounds kind of confusing, but i want to use the same file for the bold version, but i don't want to take up another 5mb of phone space.

what i am trying to ask is, if there is no bold file/version found, could you (or does it currently) just use the normal version as the bold font?

like, i only have xyz.ttf, not xyz-bold.ttf, so when an applications wants to read xyz-bold.ttf, does it read xyz.ttf instead? or does it give an error?

but i don't want to just make a copy of zyx, since due to my font being 5mb, it don't want to have it on my system twice.

thank you! (i nearly gave up on using this app a few days ago before i actually read the first post again, seeing that i needed busybox!) a font really does make all the differenece!

could i suggest maybe adding the font name to the selcection screen, and not just the font sample, since some fonts do look very similar! and if you do this, wold it be possible to read the internal font name, not just the filename of the .ttf file? thank you once again!
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
1) That's a good shout. At the moment if it doesn't find a bold file for the currently selected font it will just use the last one that worked, but what you suggested is a good idea. I think it will be more pleasing on the eye to use the same font for both regular and bold rather than using two mismatched fonts.

2) I can do that, but getting the name from the font internally might take a big longer and therefore it will be lower on my list.

Thanks for the suggestions :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] minedune:
excellent! and i just backed up my rom after i added one font to the font folder, and when it was working.

then, i deleted all the fonts, apart from:

aquafont.ttf (the one i am using)

DefaultFont-Bold.ttf, DefaultFont.ttf

DroidSans-Bold.ttf, DroidSans.ttf

Santana-Bold.ttf, Santana.ttf

and then i rebooted, and the app force closes for me.. what did i do wrong? all i did was delete fonts?

thanks again for your speedy help
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
I'm guessing it doesn't like the single aquafont. I never tested the app much with single fonts, so try copying it and adding 'bold' at the end.
[Desire Themes and Apps] minedune:
hey, i deleted and re-added each font, i get a force close if tahoma.ttf is not in there, if i rename it to something like tahomX.ttf, i get a force close.

so, i have my aqua.ttf, the defaultfont.ttf and the bold, the droid sans ones, and the tahoma, and it works perfectly.

do you have any idea why i seem to need tahoma in there?
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
Any chance I could get your full fonts directory listing when it crashes? It would make my job a lot easier that way.

Hi,

It seems not working anymore on new LeeDrOiD 2.1 (new base rom) if you don't install previously "Blue Carbon with ESPRESSO" mode.

I tried many times and always be stuck at the HTC white screen.

Did someone try successfully?

This mod is missing me :(

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Themes and Apps] martino2k6:
It works fine. Maybe you modified the contents of the folder while having Font Changer running. Really shouldn't be doing that...

Anyway, version 1.2 is out with some less and more visible changes. See the change log in the front post for more information and download links. If you ever get any strange behaviour after updating Font Changer, please uninstall the old version and then install the new one. If strange things happen while it's running, try to refresh the fonts from the application and try what you wanted to do again. If all this fails, plead for help :D

P.S. I'll check LeeDroid 2.1 later.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Moe5508:
An icon overhaul for this app would be great. Maybe its in v1.2? Haven't checkd that yet...
