I want to be able to change the font on the titanium chome screen in wm6.5 to the Magnento font typeface. can someone point me to a post regarding how to do this?
tia
from raidzero of ppcgeeks...
1. download a font (I used a TTF I found on dafont.com) and put it in \windows\fonts
2. edit & replace \windows\titanium******.cpr and titanium******.cpr with your favorite text editor and replace tahoma with the name of the font you want.
It is not working for me...Enything else ?
Just rename your font to tahoma.ttf and copy it and rename that one to tahomebd.ttf.
That should do the job.
It will replace the fonts of the whole OS though.

When I try to replace the default "DroidSans.ttf" files to change, fonts, FREEEZE
So after reading a theme thread, I tried to change the font.
I simply took a font file I liked from my PC (a .ttf) and copied the text file and renamed them all to the default text files in the /system/fonts folder.
I didn't know which font is used for what, (DroidSans, DroidSerif, etc) so I just copied my new .ttf 5 or 6 times and renamed each copy to the old original DroidXXXX.ttf file.
However after pushing via ADB and re-booting the phone just freezes on the htc screen, so I went to default.
Is there a particular font I toyed with I shouldnt have or is the ttf not compatible?
Im running fresh 2.0d
Where did you get the .ttf's from? If they were straight from the theme thread then pull the fonts from the phone via ADB:
adb remount
adb pull /system/fonts fonts
(copy the new .ttf's over the ones pulled from the phone and make sure the names stay the same)
adb push *Directory of the font file on your computer goes here* /system/fonts
adb reboot

Well, your problem is that you changed all the default fonts names, which is NOT correct. The only two fonts that need to be changed are: DroidSans-Bold and DroidSans... DO NOT change ANY other font names, leave them the way they are.
Here's some instructions::
1) Find the font you want (Should have two variations: A regular non-bold font and another bold font).
2) Then upon opening /system/fonts folder -- you should see these two font names: DroidSans-Bold and DroidSans
3) Change the font you have chosen to the names above and then copy them over to the /system/fonts folder -- this action should prompt you to overwrite the changes, you'll say yes and that's it.
To verify that you did infact do it correctly, you can double click on the DroidSans-Bold and DroidSans and both fonts will open up (Windows only) and at the top you will see the font name -- if it matches what you've chosen, then congrats. Now all you have to do is either adb push the fonts back to your phone or the better solution, would be to create a .zip file for easier convenience and of course to share with the XDA community. Good luck.
I like the stock flip clock but it would be nice to if I can change the font of the numbers (even the colors). I have found one clock font cab from steve 0007 in one thread but I have not come across anything else. Anyone care to share their clock fonts here? Thank you!
Here are some nice ones.

Yes, Thank you! I have been searching for something like this for a couple of weeks now.
Make your own clock font file
If it is just the font you want to change (ie you want to keep the flippers), then you may find it quite simple to do yourself.
All you need to do is edit a single file in PhotoShop, Fireworks or whatever your preferred image editing applications is.
Follow these steps and you will soon have a digital clock with your preferred font and colour/texture/pattern/etc
Step one:
Copy the following file from your device:
77e0069a_manila
It can be found in the 'windows' directory.
Step two:
Using Mode9 Editor or similar, convent the file from a QTC manila file, to a PNG file.
Step three:
Edit the PNG file in PhotoShop, Fireworks, etc and save.
Remember to keep a backup copy of the original file in case you want to go back to the HTC stock clock font.
Step four:
Again, using Mode9 Editor, convert your new PNG file to a QTC manila file.
Make sure you name it the same filename as the original file.
Step five:
Using Resco Explorer, Total Commander or similar (ie NOT the standard windows file manager), copy your new file back to the windows directory of your phone (overwriting the original).
Step six:
Restart Sense.
Voila! Say hello to your new clock
I would like the change the fonts (if possible), on my lockscreen clock, battery indicator, and possibly some fonts on my calwidget and beautiful widgets clock/weather widget.
Is this possible?
Let's say I find a font pack I like, called "coolfont.ttf". How would I go about doing this?
Ok, I found an app called fontchanger that works well...I only need to find fonts online and add them to the folder.
But the lockscreen clock in CM7 isn't affected. Anyone know how to change that font?
involves rooting and using a root file explorer app (ie root explorer)
yes, but does require root and TrueType fonts (ie .TTF). i personally use the Unique.ttf from Apple's Mac OS X SL and love it. has a futuristic but readable look.
System fonts are located here:
/system/fonts
I just rename the unique.ttf font to SansDroid.ttf (this is the main default system font thats used throughout the android ui). I rename the original one w/a .orig file extension before doing this. Bad fonts can cause boot loops and in turn you will have to boot to recovery mode and then use ADB Shell command to rename the original system font back or push it if you copy from your device.

Hey SeaMonkey,
Where do I find the Unique.ttf?? I really like that look on your screenshots
I use Absolute System to change fonts. There are like 1000 fonts to choose from and you don't have to do any work. Just choose the font, reboot and there it is. Love it.

Yes, can you either upload the Unique.ttf font for us, or point us in the right direction of where we can download it? I really like that font, but can't find it anywhere.
MMAPCPRO,
After a pretty good deal of searching many of the free font sites, I'm with you.
Any help or hints, or a zipped up .ttf file would sure help on this one.
Thanks!

Ever wonder, how to add your OWN font for your GO SMS?
You found a nice font on dafont.com, and you want it to be your SMS font. BUT... you don't know how?
So, you searched... and then found out that you need to go to GO SMS Settings > Apperance Settings > Scan font packages... BUT... it did not find your font.
So, you improvised... you put your font on sdcard/external_sd/gosms/fonts/... BUT... that what just plain hilarious if you did that
So, you searched the market for a font you can install with your GO SMS Pro. You found Fonts Bundled 1, Fonts Bundled 2, etc etc... BUT... they are all ugly. What you need is the font you found on dafont.com.
So, you have lost hope. BUT then... you have found this post.
If you wanna add your OWN CUSTOM FONT, then you need to have your OWN CUSTOM THEME with that OWN CUSTOM FONT.
HOW???
Easy, first, download the GO SMS Theme Maker for your laptop: http://61.145.124.93/soft/gosms/theme/GOSmsProThemeMakerEnV2_2.rar.
Then, decompress the file that you just downloaded.
Open ThemeTool.bat from it. It will open the Easy Theme Maker.
Enter any name and version you would want your custom theme to have.
Then, from the folder you found where ThemeTool.bat, open assets folder.
Inside that folder, make a new folder and name it fonts.
Put inside the OWN CUSTOM FONT you found. Be sure that the font is a true-type font, having an extenstion of ttf. And be sure that the extension on small letters, i.e. customfont.ttf and not customfont.TTF.
And back to the Easy Theme Maker, click Generate APK File.
From the folder you found where ThemeTool.bat, there should be a new file _signed.apk.
Install that to your phone, that is your OWN CUSTOM THEME with OWN CUSTOM FONT.
Go to GO SMS Pro > Settings > Appearance Settings > Scan font packages.
Then, ENJOY customizing your SMS fonts! BUT... This time no more BUTs.
I just got bored so I made this guide and I made my new sig... that's why
Hihihih
Hope this helps.

actually, all you have to do is put your font.ttf in the sdcard/gosms/fonts folder and your new font will be at the end of the list when you go to change it.

I haven't tried this yet but is what you said above true? The other method seems too laborious just to add a font to your system.

Yes absolutely. Very simple. I did leave out one obvious, easy step though. You have to go into the GOsms menu> advanced settings> appearance>"scan font packages"
Let me know if it worked for you. Please hit the Thanks button if it helped
I am sorry but the time I made this thread GO SMS Pro didn't support the feature mentioned above just to put the font to sdcard/gosms/fonts and it will recognized it, that is why I made this thread.
Well, anyways its good that it now support external fonts.
RAR File is no longer there

W/ the last update, they've just about stripped out every feature in the appearance settings, you could change the font and font type in each theme and save it.
