Is it possible to do? I'd love to throw Calibri or Segoe UI on my Hero.
All you have to do is rename your fonts to the fonts that are in /system/fonts, and then adb push them to your phone xD

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 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!

never knew this was there thanks
Just paid for and downloaded Absolute System.
Its AWESOME! WELL WORTH the $1.99.
Highly recommended for the font peeps in this thread.

Fonts are located at /system/fonts/
Just take a font (and it's bold version if you want bold text to look right) and rename them:
DroidSans.ttf
DroidSans-Bold.ttf
Drop them in /system/fonts using ADB or Root Explorer and reboot. Mission accomplished. Keep in mind, ICS now uses Roboto instead, so on ICS, the same concept applies but rename them:
Roboto-Regular.ttf
Roboto-Bold.ttf
Roboto-Italic.ttf
Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf
I m using CM9 also. I use app Font changer from market and change font size and font.

Hi folks. I modded fonts_lge.xml file just to add (replace) sherif stock font with roboto condensed.
Font file is from. D802v30e but i think it will work on any lp version
Replace your fonts-lge.xml file from system/etc with attached one. Set permissions rw-r-r, reboot phone and thats it. In settings- display-fonts u will have sherif font replaced by roboto condensed font.
Make backup before replacement.
Zip is not flashable!!!. Unpack and replace
U need rooted phone ofcourse
Cheers

Awesome job ,Works 100% on Lollipop 5.02 v30b , of course i pressed :good: button...
No problem. Enjoy ?
i know it's little off-topic but still looking for a way to properly installing the whole Roboto family on LP, any advice is appreciated.
The Roboto font has just been made public on github ! It's open source now.
I have a little issue. Text on whatsapp haven't changed, Just in system ui; even keyboard but not in whatsapp conversation
