Add font to Android (rooted) - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I am trying to add the font "wingdings.ttf" to my Nexus S, so it will show the right character (symbols) when an web page or a HTML email uses this font.
All instructions I have found replaces the system font (DroidSans.ttf), not add an additional font.
Is this possible? - Thanks a lot!

[Q] Is it possible to change the fonts?

Is it possible to change the fonts? I'm using VillainRom's most recent Froyo released, but I'd like the clock font to change, and also use some fonts in Chomp SMS (ones that I cannot find in a font-pack).
I have the font files on my computer, but not sure where to go from here..
Thanks

Setting application-specific fonts

I have been having fun changing the system font, which is nice and easy to do. I like to use a font called burton, which is very gothic. However, it is unsuitable for reading large amounts of text. Does anyone know if it is possible to force opera mini and feedly, for example, to use a different font (roboto) rather than the system font? The apps themselves do not have a font changing option.

Try use font install in market/play
As far as I can tell Font Installer only changes the system font and cannot change application-specific fonts
Yes... but some app use sys font

Fonts for FlipFont program installed with Samsung devices and HTC Sense 6 devices. Works also with any ROM with FlipFont software in system. Works also with rooted devices with font changer softwares. Please do not install if your device can't use fonts. How to check it?
Got settings>display settings>font settings if you have it, your device supports fonts. If not, you need root and some font changer.

Every app contains 6 selected public domain, high quality fonts. Why six? If you not need 50-100 fonts on device, why to keep them installed? Soon this account will have 50 apps, each with 6 fonts, so user can choice one with favourite fonts. All will be avaible in app (more fonts page).
@ramzixp I want font icons if you can post some links.

Bold custom font?

I've been using the font, Lintel, as the font of choice for my Android phone for awhile now.
Because my particular phone model does not support cyanogenmod, I use xposed+ifont to set up the system font.
However I noticed that fonts in bold reverts back to the system font as the Lintel font I'm using doesn't seem to support bold font - or at least if it does, the system doesn't seem to use them.
Since the Lintel font family comes in different styles and weight, is there a way to solve this issue? Do I have to repackage a font pack with italics/bold style into the font file? Or is there a way to solve this through root access in Android?

Question How to change Lockscreen/AOD clock font only in OneUI 4.1

I like using the Default (Roboto) font but the Samsung font used for the Lockscreen and AOD clock is ugly and has inconsistent spacing. Changing the system font to any other option changes the clock style. When I use a font installer to install Roboto, it does change the clock, but creates an issue where font weight and spacing are incorrect in many apps. Yes, I also tried a variable font version as well. I realize that Samsung is likely using multiple font files to create Default and the font installer is limited. I also tried GoodLock with Clock Face but almost all centered options use the ugly Samsung font too.
Does anyone know how to change just the Lockscreen and AOD clock fonts? Back in the day, someone was able to modify Good Lock to give extra options but I'm hoping there is a simpler solution. Thanks in advance.
Hello. I have the exact same thoughts about the default One UI lockscreen font. Could you please share a bit more details on the Good Lock extra options?
Btw, I did try to install the system font with the Roboto TTF file like you mentioned in the OP and the lock screen looks much better now. I do get your point about "issue where font weight and spacing are incorrect in many apps", but fortunately for me, WhatsApp is the only app where I see this. And it does not look all that bad. So I believe I'm going to stick to this way.
Here's how:
Download 'SetEdit (Settings Database Edit)' from Google Play Store.
Open and find 'theme_font_clock' row, then tap it.
Tap 'Edit Value' and input with your font path addreses (*example: /storage/emulated/0/My Fonts/DS-DIGIB.TTF).
Tap 'Save Changes' and you're done!
Take a look!
*supports .ttf and .otf formats
works without root
Found it on reddit

Confirmed, does NOT work in OneUI 5.0. Was excited too.
I hope there will be another way...
