i have a touch and have changed most of my fonts how do i change soft key fonts, title bar font, sms inbox font and outgoing sms font i have tried tips from all over the forums and nothing is working
Check Settings+ RC_Mod, Font Changer 1.2.. and conduct a search in the forum, you will find MANY MANY programs for this.
yea, ive checked all of those out, i have wm6 and those still dont help. i dont want to change color or nething, just font. there has to be something in the registry somewhere... adding values or something to change sms compose and incoming font and soft key font. ive already done system font, bar font, pop font, oom font. the system has to get instructions somewhere as to what font to use
sms font can be changed in Settings+ and it is included in another option.
settings+ can change everything... at least on my device.
it seems like settings+ is for wm6.1 . i have a regular sprint touch running wm6. thank you for any help
hrm.
ok.. try these.. i managed them a while ago and wrote a readme file..
hope it helps
ok im getting frustrated, i just cant seem to be able to change the sms compose or inbox font or soft key. none of these programs wrk or have what i need and all forums point to the reg keys ive already changed lol it still seems to me that the program gets its instructions from somewhere and that that can be changed. ive pretty much given up on an outside program to change them...please help, im about to give up
its cool, i downloaded a new font, went back through an re-did my key entries and it seems to be fine i know the sms problem was solved and pretty sure the soft key changed...but ive been looking at this thing for so long its all starting to look the same anyway, thanks for the help, i appreciate it
lol. i forgot to attach the registry files to the previous post.. i wanted to help.
now, you might have already changed these.. but since one of them changed the sms font on my phone, i see no reason why it shouldn't do the same on yours.

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?

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?

Hi,
I've been looking for an easy way to change the font on my TP.
I've tried someones cab file which works, but then I can only use the font supplied in the CAB.
Someone else suggested copying the new ttf over the existing one and renaming it..
eg, new font is red.ttf, rename to tahoma.ttf and copy over existing tahoma.ttf
but, in my windows/font folder I don't have tahoma!!
maybe this is a result of a theme I installed (the font in the font foler is nyama or something)
so, what is the quickest and easiet way to change system font?
thanks
Use this tool ,it works for me
but this app only has 3-4 fonts in it...I want to be able to add any font I like. is there a way to do that?
can I add fonts to this app and therefore make them selectable?

ok..I found out that if you add fonts to the windows font folder then they appear in the drop down as selectable with this app..
however...I can't change the system font (I say system font, but I mean the main one, that is displayed on the now page in SPB MS etc. it stays as tahoma...and what's even more interesting is that I can't find the tahoma font anywhere on the device!! (I was going to copy over this with my new font)
so...has anyone got any other ideas about how to change the font on the TP?
As you can see here I've changed my font for the entire device (you might not see that it's for the entire device but it is) the rest of what I know is in that post, cheers
I seem to recall that Tweaks 2K2.NET allowed you to change fonts as well (via the registry) but be prepared for disproportionate buttons and dialogs which may flow off the screen.
Did you want to change the fonts as a user pref thing or is it in order to increase their size and make them easier to read?
just a user preference thing. I find the tahoma font quite boring. Tweaks2k2 does allow you to change fonts but again, not the main one.
I can't quite understand it. you can change the one in the drop down menus, the dialogue boxes etc but the main one (for sms or emails for example) stays the same.
Pixel, I could've sworn that I did this on my wife's PPC.
Using Tweaks2K2.NET, you can change the system font and size.
The only caveat is that you have to have the font installed to your PPC's \Windows\Fonts folder first.
Wait a sec. Lemme g00gle this...

Take care!
thanks for your efforts. I had to hard reset my device last night after weeks of happy life. so I'm going to get round to changing the font with the methods as indicated as soon as I've finished all my other config work that is required.
Hey guys. I'm currently using a HTC Snap and I just updated it to WM6.5. The problem now is that I can't seem to change the font size of the sms. In WM6.1 there was an option to change it (Apparently under Settings>System>Screen or something like that). I can't find any way to change the font size now. Is there something I can do to change it? Appreciate any help. Thanks!
I also get the same problem. I wish to change font size (not font) in some applications. I have no guess how to do.
Please any suggestions?
the zoom tool on the att tilt 2 works to change the font size...
edit your registry...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\RichEditHostFontSize

Hey, this helped me, thanks! But does anyone know wich registry controls the Inbox font size? What I want is to have more messages/chats/dialogues/e-mails at a time. Now, in sms or email-inbox I can see 6 items(portrait) without scrolling. With other Skins I've been able to see about 10 or 12.
So I guess what needs to be changed is "inbox font size" and "space between items in inbox".
I'm comfortable with reg-changes, so I don't necessarally need a cab, just need to know what to edit!
Pretty please?
EDIT: Nevermind, it was right there in settings>system>screen>text size. *whistle*
first hi to all and congratulations for this nice forum and community!
i was reading a lot in the forum the past and now i have to ask my first question. it´s about the possibility to change the font size of touchflow3d (winmobile 6.5)?
the father of my girlfrfiend got de d2 as a gift on his birthday, but the font is undersized for him.
so is it possible to change the font size primarly in contacts, sms and settings?
i already changed the textsize in the tochflow menu to the largest.
so please can anyone help me?

I am having the same issue and have been unable to find any info.
Several people have suggested advanced config, which has several font settings, but they do not seem to have any effect, at least on my device.
You may want to give it a try on yours.
Go to settings > system settings > screen and there is an option to change font size, see if that works for you. I didn't for me, but who knows

I've still not found a way to adjust fonts with TouchFlo, but at least for popup menus, you can disable TouchFlo, and then the device will go back to using Windows fonts, which can be adjusted using Advanced Config or other tool.
You can use TD2 Tools, go to the TouchFLO tab, and uncheck Enable TouchFlo Popup Menus.
Ok, I have a T*Mobile HTC Touch Pro2. From the home screen you see a slider bar at the bottom. One of the tabs available is for the SMS/MMS program which if I understand correctly is Manilla. This program is nice but I'm very annoyed that I have to input ONE CONTACT AT A TIME when I send a mass message...which I do very often. So here is what I wanna do...
I want to change the tab so that it pulls up a new SMS/MMS program instead of manilla. Let's call it EXAMPLE_PROG as the app I just installed SMS-CHAT doesn't do MMS as well, so I need to find a different app that includes both AND lets me do some sort of checklist to add multiple contacts at once. If you know of one, lemmie know.
Anywho, I have a registry editor and I have edited my laptop registry before so I know a little of what I am doing and I know that changing things I shouldn't COULD brick my phone. Therefore, I'm asking for help. What do I change so that choosing the MESSAGES tab brings up EXAMPLE_PROG instead?
Thanks in advance for your help.
