Hey martino, or anyone. Do you know where the default Korean font would be stored. Im on ICS, but im sure its located in a similar directory in GB. I don't see it in the System/Fonts folder, I only see Hebrew and several other languages, nothing to indicate a korean font. And to assure you that there must be a korean font somewhere, all my music is korean and the titles and artist names show up in korean. I just don't know where to find and replace this font. Any help would be appreciated.

and on side note. I did find out what the weather widget and font was used in my previous post. The weather widget is from the Beautiful Widgets app from the market (or shall i now say "google play") with the Tick Skin applied. The font is called Caviar Dreams. You can download that at dafont.com. Additionally the font works well on ICS and the bold font does not cause boot loops.

I noticed that when I used Basic to replace the regular font it also replaced Roboto-Bold font with the appropriate corresponding Bold font at the same time.

Thanks for all your work, hope to hear from you soon.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Hi,

The Korean font is most likely in DroidSans-Fallback.ttf. Not sure whether this font is the same file under ICS. Just be careful, as the font name suggest it is used as a fallback font, so if you don't replace it with a font that has most glyphs then you might end up with boxes here and there.

Font Changer does have some degree of ICS compatibility, that being that it can set the correct fonts in basic mode (Roboto ones). The only issues arise when you try to replace the bold font with a non-bold font, then you'll get a boot loop.

All this said, I keep working on improving the Font Handling under different devices and Android versions, but it is a rather large job so it will take me a few weeks until I will be able to publish an update.

Does this app work on Dell Streak 5"?
[Android Apps and Games] Cookie Ninja:
I've found this App very useful. However, the restart does not occur automatically after changing a font. is this a known bug or have I missed out any workarounds?
[Android Apps and Games] iammtxd:
I think rom toolbox has already enough fonts, 200fonts

And it even saves all fonts on sd card!
[Android Apps and Games] metastigmat:
great work!!!
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
I'm afraid I don't know. Do a nandroind backup and give it a try.

Yeah, this is not a Font Changer bug but a root limitation on some devices. Nothing to be done about it other than checking quick reboot in the settings, although this may not work well with all devices.

People are free to use what they want, but the reason why Font Changer does not include fonts is because of the respective licenses that come with most of them. It's pretty dangerous business distributing fonts freely from various websites.
[Android Apps and Games] cgibsong002:
Installed and am trying to use this on my samsung note. fonts aren't showing up when loading the program. if I go into file manager, my sd card location is named 'external_sd', while in settings its set as 'sdcard/.fontchanger'. I'm assuming this is why its not finding my fonts. However, in the program it won't let me set my folder location to 'external_sd/.fontchanger' and just the same I can't change my sd card location to 'sdcard'. Any ideas??
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
What phone have you got? Your internal memory card should really be /sdcard.
[Android Apps and Games] cgibsong002:
Samsung note. I'm not sure anymore if I go to the my files app it shows up as external sd card like I said but I think it shows up different if I view on my computer or something.

[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Yeah, on your computer it will look differently. But you definitely should have a /sdcard directory. If not, the maybe it's under /mnt.
[Android Apps and Games] cgibsong002:
I remember seeing that somewhere on my phone recently but forgot to give it a shot until you reminded me. I'll report back.

hi is this app compatible with htc wildfire? cant seem to get it working, it gets stuck on flash screen, im rooted and s-off
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Cool, good to know that.

Not particularly aware of anything. Try updating the 'su' binary from the Superuser app and see if that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] roujinz:
Space check failed

My apologies if this has already been solved...but there are 48 pages to this thread and i may have missed it or just not entered the correct search string.

Anyways, I am trying to install the emoji font using Font Changer, however, I keep receiving the following message:

Space Check Failed

The requested operation was aborted due to lack of space on system partition.

A total of 7213kB is required to complete the operation, but only 0kB is available.

I've tried to find an answer on Google but can't seem to pinpoint a solution or workaround.

I even tried to move the font manually but when i place it in the system/fonts folder it appears to be ZERO in size.

Rebooting, uninstalling, removing apps dont seem to make any difference.

Some help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you much!

[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
I'm afraid I can't do a search right now, but I do remember that someone had the same issue and solved... but how, I wish I could remember. I have a hunch that it had something to do with a dodgy ROM, but I'm not 100% sure on this.

I'll try to get back to you when I'll have a bit more time to search around.
[Android Apps and Games] fernandezhjr:
Your rom size is large and taking all available system space. If you have some system apps that are also available in the market, uninstall them with Titanium Backup and then reinstall them through the market. This will move them to user allocated space and free up system space, thus allowing you to install custom fonts through Font Changer.
[Android Apps and Games] roujinz:
Gosh it has been so long since ive messed with my phone, to be honest with you I cant recall if I added a custom ROM...im thinking I didnt do anything other than root the device and add apps to customize the look.

Any ideas of what apps might be available on the Market that would've come stock with the Motorola Atrix? Or Motorola apps that I can just get rid off??

Sorry, but its been a while since ive messed with android stuff and getting old doesnt help much....
[Android Apps and Games] fernandezhjr:
If you are stock, you could just delete some stock apps you don't use, like AT&T apps that require subscription. You just need to free up the needed space it is requesting. I have an HTC, so I got rid of the AT&T junk. I also uninstalled a couple of stock Google apps and reinstalled them thru the market.
[Android Apps and Games] roujinz:
AWESOME!!!...that did the trick. I removed a couple of Motoblur/AT&T pre-installed apps and it freed up enough space. Thanks for the suggestion!

So now, I installed the emoji font, but it seems like I am still unable to see all of the emoji icons. I still have some showing up as squares instead of what the are supposed to be. Any suggestions on what other font I might need in order to get them all to display?

Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] Epikarus:
Hi. I'm back. I was having problems with this app on my Galaxy S-i9000 that was running CM9. It would often get stuck on the "Refreshing Fonts.." when you start up the app. But when I recently upgraded to Galaxy S III (Running ICS from Samsung), and was not running CM9 yet, I never had the problem, thinking that more memory and better cpu fixed the problem. But now that I have installed CM9 on my SGS3 the old problem is back. So my conclusion is that this app is not compatible (or limited with) CM9 or CM9 is not compatible with this app. Sometimes the app will work, most times it will not. Just a heads up for people having this problem.

Additionally, another symptom is that I will always get "failed to change location" when i try to change the fonts location. Anyway, good luck and thanks for all your work.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Font Changer is not currently compatible with ICS. It has been mentioned before, people have been warned, and it's even mentioned on the Play page.

And yeah, I know that there are some issues with changing font location. I'm working on a major rewrite, but due to work/life/etc I only get an hours or so to work on the app so progress is slow I'm afraid. Fixes and ICS compatibility are around the corner, but the wall to that corner may still be long.
[Android Apps and Games] Epikarus:
I understand that its not compatible with ics but i find it odd that it works perfectly on the samsung ics rom but not on cm9.

I do appreciate the work youve done.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Well, that's the thing with Android. OEMs are free to change the source, so it is possible that Samsung changed how the font handling works (actually they definitely had to change it because TouchWiz allows users to change the font). As such no two devices could behave the same, unless they are running the same firmware (for example CM7/9).

As a status update, I have recently managed to find enough time to work on Font Changer. I have finished the font handling, though still need to properly test it on ICS, but now I need to make sure that the new improved user interface will work well with pre-Honeycomb devices.
[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
Hey you will happy to know that your app works flawlessly on Jelly Bean with SuperSU (basic only not going to try advanced yet). SuperSU seems to have solved the freezing problems that dogged the ICS version.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Thanks for the report. It's interesting to know that SuperSU works, as I don't use it myself. I have managed to get the issue on my ICS device with Superuser, but I can't reproduce it consistently. It's definitely something that I will look into before releasing a beta.

Font Changer 4.0.0 RC1

Attached in this post is the RC1 version of 4.0.0. While there aren't any new major features, a lot of the UI and functional code has been rewritten to make future maintenance simpler. Please test this release and let me know if you come across any issues (post how to reproduce and attach a logcat please).

List of changes:

Added USB debugging warning (should help users when recovering from a bad font change)

Added native action bar support (3.0+)

Added 3.0+ support (works on my devices at least...)

Updated UI to use native Android elements

Updated internal font handling (should speed up addition of support for specific devices)

Updated refresh icons
[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
Cheers! Basic working fine as usual. In this new version, do we still need to install only bold fonts for bold?

Also, restore defaults used to only restore the regular font but ignores bold, italics etc. Does this version restore everything? If not, could you please implement it? :)

....Why would you put ads in an RC version? T.T +1000 SINGLES WAITING TO MEET ME!
[Android Apps and Games] whyzee:
I have been using your app for ages now and just wanted to thank you for the awesome work you've done....:beer::thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Font Changer shouldn't allow you to set a bold font in simple mode if it is missing, for post-Honeycomb devices. If you decide to cheat, and name a regular font as a bold font, there is no way for Font Changer to find this out (same goes for advanced mode). If you however do this, you're only asking for trouble for post-Honeycomb devices.

I wasn't aware of the restore bug :o It should be fine in the RC1 though.

This is an RC of the lite version, as such if everything turns out to work well this same APK will go to Google Play. The lite version on Play has ads too, so should this one. The donate one will of course have them removed.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
In other words, treat it the same as ICS :good: I managed to change the regular, bold and italics of Jelly Bean in the advanced settings using the same rules as before. All working great.

Thanks for fixing the restore bug! No worries i was just asking about the ads because i have the donate version :D

PS. Under Basic settings still not all fonts are being detected unlike Advanced. No biggie just reporting
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
I'm a bit confused here. What are you getting in simple mode and what are you expecting?

Thanks for the support.
[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
Sorry if i was confusing you. A while ago someone reported that fonts were not being detected under BASIC. I am just reiterating that this still persists in the RC version. For example as seen in the screenshots below, both my Coconut Bold fonts were not picked up under BASIC. Hmm now that i've put in down in words, it seems that they are mostly bold fonts that are being ignored.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
I understand now what you meant. You have to follow the naming scheme, so that would be: FontName.ttf + FontName-Bold.ttf + FontName-Italic.ttf. Otherwise the fonts won't be picked up correctly.

I know I should improve this, but it's a longer task which I've been putting at the end of my list.
[Android Apps and Games] whyzee:
Want to report a bug. If u quit the app in advanced mode and open it again it FCs (CM7).
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
I need a logcat please.
[Android Apps and Games] whyzee:
pastebin.com/VzkFLu2w

Hope I've helped :)
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Thanks, I'm sure that you have :)

Attached is RC2, with the following fixes:

Fix memory leak (pre-3.0)

Fix FC when opening session (pre-3.0)

Please let me know if the issue is fixed in this new RC. Everyone else is welcome to test it too of course! Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] whyzee:
Awesome bro. Works flawlessly. But only one thing - I was using a different font for clocktopia and Droid sans earlier and it used to show in advanced settings. It doesn't in the RC. SS attached

EDIT:

Random FCs while changing the color of preview. Will post logcat later....
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
I'm afraid I haven't been able to reproduce either. Is there some specific sequence of steps/actions which gives you this strange behaviour and force close?

Thanks for testing by the way, you've found some pretty awesome bugs so far! :)
[Android Apps and Games] whyzee:
Yeah! You are right! That happened in my old 2.3.4 stock ROM. Works without a hitch in CM7 RC1. Great job btw!! :thumbup::beer:. Will keep u updated if i find anything strange.

My pleasure. This is one of the apps I can't live without. After flashing a ROM the first thing I do is install your app.:p

But can I recommend one thing? After switching to advanced mode I think it would be better if you could go to basic mode using the back button; instead it quits the app. Just my 2 cents. :D
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
I guess the 'back to Simple mode' makes sense on pre-Honeycomb devices since they don't have tabs. I'll see what I can do, thanks for the suggestion!
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
See the attached RC3 in this post and let me know if the new behaviour is what you expected.
[Android Apps and Games] whyzee:
Perfect :thumbup::D just what I wanted.

NB. I'm on MIUI and can't currently check if it's working, but the back to basic mode is what I'd hoped for. You're awesome ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Epikarus:
I'm on jelly bean. Cm10 and the back button causes force close. Not really a big deal but thought I should let you know. Everything else works like a charm.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Well, that is a pretty big deal. Anyway, can you identify the set of steps to take in order to reproduce it? Also, attaching a logcat would be helpful.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
OK folks, if you're not yet tired of RCs, here's another one. Fixed issues are listed below:

Force close when closing app reported earlier

Fixed startup loading issues (hopefully! finally!)

Please let me know if you come across any issues. I don't have anything else on my list, so if nothing else appears this will go up on the Market by the end of this weekend. After that, back to new features :)

EDIT: And up on the Market they are :)

[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
Are you using the latest RC? Are you changing font in Advanced mode or just Basic?
[Android Apps and Games] coolfreebies:
I am using latest version and just using basic settings..

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
Wish i could help but they worked on ICS on my Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. I only get bootloops when messing with certain things under Advanced. Does this happen on different fonts or just a particular one?
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Hi there,

Since I don't have a Note I will need to get some details from you. What font have you been trying to set, and what are the TTF font files associated with that font? Also, any chance you could give me a detailed directory listing of the fonts folder? Opening up a terminal emulator application and giving me the output of a 'ls -al /system/fonts' should be good for me.

Thanks.

Jelly Bean Broblem

i can not change font in gelly bean galaxy s3

:confused::confused::confused::confused:​
[Android Apps and Games] GalaxyS3III94:
does changing font using this app uses more CPU or battery ?
[Android Apps and Games] kastafela:
:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:​
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Depends on what kind of font you use. I believe that rendering more complex fonts would take more CPU cycles, but I think it would hardly be noticeable. That said, if someone has more information then feel free to fill in.

Did it work before with ICS?

Version 4.0.2 has been released, with the following changes:

* Fix for crash on startup (device specific)

* Improved app startup issues

Up on Play and in the OP. *shakes fist at OEMs for breaking things*
[Android Apps and Games] mchu6am4:
What font is the lockscreen clock on s3 please and where can i download from?
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Very confusing question. The lock screen font could be one of those that has 'clock' or the name. You can always check the preview of the font and make sure that it's the same. Why would you want to download it? It's on the device...
[Android Apps and Games] mchu6am4:
It's the clock font on the lockscreen....unfortunately font is not installed for the rest of the os or at least i can't select it!
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
The font is on your device, so you can select it. You just need to use advanced mode and choose it from /system/fonts (or better to copy it from there to where you have your fonts saved and then use basic mode).

Just careful, because you could get boot loops. I don't think the lock screen font was designed to be used system-wide...
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Further update to version 4.0.3. List of changes:

* Added warning message about Android bug

* Fixed force close when refreshing fonts

* Workaround Android bug causing force closes

* Removed custom font preview style due to fragility

I've been trying to fix up as many crashes and issues before I go on holiday, but it's been proving difficult. It looks like with more and more people using newer versions of Android there have been more and more serious issues. Android is beginning to be really picky about what fonts it likes. I'm seriously starting to consider taking the app down from Play and just leaving it on XDA as the amount of negative feedback has been somewhat overwhelming.
[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
Aww it'll be really a shame to have it gone from the market (no more paid version?) Your app has worked flawlessly for me from Nexus S to Galaxy Nexus from GB to JB (as long as I didn't use Advanced). I just hope that the guys who provide negative feedback were really having difficulties rather than just being stupid and ignored all the warnings.
[Android Apps and Games] kastafela:
Yes work before with ICS.

but not work with JB 4.1.1
[Android Apps and Games] Epikarus:
Your app works great for me on cm10. Taking it off market is sad but if you have to then you should. People are just ungrateful for the hard work you put into making this app work. Bugs exist people, live with it. I support your decision good luck. I'll donate some money when I get home. The amount of support you give on this forum is awesome. I really appreciate the time you take into answering the questions here.

The main fonts you want to change are:

Roboto-Bold (this will cause boot loops if you are not using proper bold fonts)

Roboto-Italic

Roboto-Regular

They are quite self explanatory as to what fonts they change.

Does it work on cm10?
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Should do, works on mine anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] chandanp:
Works perfectly.

I have downloaded few fonts from google, but none perfectly fit the font size except the Rosemary from Shostock's rom.

and one question, how do I revert back to original fonts. If in case

can I take back-up of my original and if yes, how?
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Thanks.

The app automatically backs up the fonts. If you want to go back to defaults just use the restore/defaults action from the menu/action bar.
[Android Apps and Games] chandanp:
aah ! yes I found out it just after I posted it, anyways thanks

and is there any good fonts with font size like defaults once.

...and when the phone doesn't get past the boot logo, what then? :)

I changed the system font on my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Font Changer (free edition, been using it successfully on my old Desire HD as well). The phone is running stock Samsung ICS 4.0.4 , just rooted.

After applying my custom font, the phone reboots and is stuck at the pulsing Samsung boot screen and refuses to start. I’m hoping that there is some way I can get the original system fonts restored without having to flash a new ROM so that the phone will boot properly again. All I need is one proper boot so I can get a backup done, then I’m going to flash a new rom anyway.
