Crossbow Fonts

Hi, I'd like to make my fonts look like the ones that they advertise with the crossbow. I mean i'd like to have my whole system with those fonts but i don't know how. I've done tons of searching but i could not find anything that would help me change the fonts of my whole system (unless i build my own rom with those fonts but that's too complicated for me). Is there another way? i've found some threads that's suppose to change the fonts but it messed up my fone, others do not change the whole system but just some fonts. All WM6 roms that i've used do not have those fonts that I'm talking about. I'd like to make it like the fonts on this picture. Can someone help me please?

Is there anyone out there who can help/suggest something/make me read another thread/tell me it's not possible/whatever...?anyone?

Click to expand...

I don´t think it is so easy - but what about cleartype. The font doesn´t look so different for me. Just cleartype?? Don´t know.
Start - settings - screen - enable cleartype.
And there are registry hacks to enable it also in landscape mode. (Registrywizard or HTweakC)

thanks, but i already have cleartype on. not quite the same but i really appreciate ur reply. With over 240+ views, i finally received a reply. At least i can say ur one of the few people out there who genuinely lend a helping hand to others. I really appreciate it thanks again

Looking at the screengrabs I think they're from a VGA device (a HTC Universal for example), which is why the fonts looks slightly smoother and more rounded. The font on the XDA Exec I borrowed looked a lot nicer than my XDA Mini-S just because it was higher res, despite the actual screen real-estate being used in the same way (IE. although the screen was higher res, everything was larger to compensate). The effect I saw looked just like in some of your screenshots - particularly the first portrait one.

thanks paulmdx!i guess that explains it. it probably looks different because of the vga screen.Thanks, i guess i'll just have to give up on wishing that my fonts be like that

Sorry for my late response...I was suppose to reply back to you after you reminded me that the fonts could be changed...I managed to change the fonts by adding the files to the font folder in the \windows\fonts directory...the extention you are looking for is .ttf...I tried to use a font with a different extention and it didn't work...also if you are looking for fonts then your best bet is http://dafont.com ...they have the best looking fonts, and they have popular fonts used in movies, video games, etc...the one that I am running is aiight, and the one that i put on my girl's is the Walt Disney font...one more thing, after you put the fonts on your ppc you will need to have a program to change the font for you, or you'll need to either change some registry key to enable it (I don't know the keys), or use a program like Tweaks2k2.net to change it...it's not a free program, but you'll be able to use the program 3 times before you have to register it...I don't if you were looking for the font used in WM6 or you were looking for a way to change fonts on the ppc, but anyways here's some info for those who wanted to do this...
Btw this only changes some fonts, but not all of them...it's better this way just in case you put a font that is blurry, too small, etc...while I was trying out fonts for my girl's phone, this happened to me...if all the fonts on the ppc were changed, I wouldn't have been able to find the options easily to change the font...looks awesome though...even my keyboard font changed...my cousin said I'm ghetto because my font looks like tagging lol...

Missing font!
While we are on this topic.....Some of my fonts are messed up!
I installed the 10 button Comm Manager and couldn't get the WLAN to activate. I then went back to the 8 button Comm Manager. Later I found a fix for the 10 and uninstalled the 8. When I did it messed up my fonts. Does anyone have the stock fonts they can send me?

any way to set default windows tab height

Searched - nothing came up. So, the question is, is it possible to set the tab height somehow for default windows like Start -> Settings, where there are 3 tabs - Personal, System and Connections?
Thanks.

hmm.. first time i've stumbled into this issue.. i'll look it up

OK, thanks in advance!

Shouldn't have thanked You in advance... It's been like two weeks and even after I sent You a PM nothing has been going on. If You can't make it, please say so, it sucks to leave people waiting...

The tab height is controlled solely by the text within it. By default this is system font Tahoma 8pt. In .NET, there is no property or method to change the height of the tab, you can only change the type or size of font and the tabs will then be resized to accomodate it.
If the window uses the system font, in the case of Settings, it's a certainty, then the only way you would have any control over it is to change the system font. There are several articles here on xdadevs to tell you how, search Windows Mobile Change System Font, and pick one. The downside is, it will apply to everything, not just tabs, whether you want it to or not.

Thanks for the thorough reply! I guess I won't be changing the system font because of the other drawbacks...

[Q] [Help] Registry key for emphasis text color

I've been hunting for this registry key and can't seem to find it. I'm not sure if this color is just hard-coded in the ROM or not (I'd be surprised if it was, considering all the other colors are customizable via the registry). I have read all of the other customization threads and been searching for days, and can't seem to find it. Maybe I'm missing something obvious.
I have a T-Mobile HD7 and much of the "emphasized" text is a strong magenta. I'm trying to find a way to change this color and can't find anything for it. The color I'm referring to is, when you open Advanced Configuration for example, the text that says "This program comes free but with no warranty...."
Any pointers, please?

*facepalm*
Figured it out. Wow. Huge oversight on my part.

Change Musicapp tile title

Hey, guys!
I installed this yesterday, the latest WP7.8 5.5 from WinphoneViet... really pleased with it...
I have rebranded it to Samsung instead of Nokia... I don´t care about the Nokia Apps so I don´t mind. And also I have CAB´d the Swedish language. As we know the Nokia Apps don´t work after that either.
Anyhow... one of the Changes in this build is better Icons. However, the Music and Video tile has been re-named to just "Music". The downside with this is that the title don´t change with my language. I guess that the modification is behind that.
Is there anyway through regedit or PhoneExplorer I can change the title to my own language... by just a simple change in a xml-file or something? Where do I find the Music and Video app in PhoneExplorer?
Best regards

[Q] Increase font size in messages WP 7.8 in Lumia 510

Hi, I bought for my mom this phone, because it`s simple and easy to use. Screen is big enough, but I never thought that will be a problem with font size, especially in messages where font is tiny.
I just found old threads without solution and new about WP 8 where is menu Easy of access to change font size.
Please give me any advice what should I do, otherwise i will be force to change this phone.
P.S.
Almost in all old phone models is something to change font size where screen is small and one word is on whole screen.
Microsoft is the biggest IT company with windows mobile system history and just forget something like this? Ridiculous
This is even discrimination for people with disabilities like for people with poor but usable vision
Please, someone tell me that i`ve been wrong about this and i just can`t find where font size is changing and just I`m blind...
