I am still on GB so not sure about the app compatibility. You could also try to flash the fonts you want.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801160

I think the new font is great. Maybe it might help to go into display settings and change it to small. Looks better small anyway.

Just flash it from Recovery?
EDIT
Yup. I'm just using a Rooted Froyo Rom. Looks sweet.
I assume it just replaces the stock font with the new one. Should work on any rom.
Could someone please show screenshots..? :\

Yes it just replaces the stock font. Should work with most ROMs as long as they dont change the location of the fonts.

I love this font
To use it on MIUI rom you have to change the 2 font files located in /fonts to
Arial.ttf
Arial-Bold.ttf
Then resign the zip file.
I made the file ready to be flashed

download typefresh or font changer from the market. you can change to whatever font you want to with it. very easy to use
Great looking font. I've always liked Comfortaa. I am actually using that on my Nook Color running CM7.
If people want a more "standard looking" font that still has some nice flair, I recommend trying Segoe UI, which should be in your /Windows/Fonts folder.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I've got a font pack, it used to be sold in the market but they went bankrupt I think, anyway it has like 70 fonts in it. let me know.....
Um , how do you get one of those fonts from www.ffonts.net onto my phone? Do i need to change the file type?
just install font changer from market it's free https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martino2k6.fontchangerlite&hl=en
and you can then use any TTF in your font
this is another good site for free fonts http://www.dafont.com/
Thanks for the suggestions.
I use the paid version of rom toolbox pro, it has the sony sketch font along with 190 other fonts for your SR. It's a GREAT app and well worth the money if your are rooted.
Hi, this is my first post. I'm a newbie too. Anyways i just got my SGH-T989 (T-Mobile S2) rooted and i'm wondering if this method will work with my device?

As far as I know, Rom Toolbox Pro can be used on any android device that is rooted. If you're rooted, I highly recommend it. Hope this helps....
Thank you. I finally have the app working and enjoying lots of great fonts.

Glad it's working for you! Just a reminder..... While using Rom Toolbox Pro and switching to a new font, you don't have to reboot every time you switch fonts. The program WANTS you to reboot, but you don't have to, here's what you do.... Once you select your default font, exit Rom Toolbox Pro and go into your phones Settings/Display/Screen Display/Font Style. Once in Font Style switch to ANY font other than Default font and apply, then, to make your new font stick, just switch back to default font and apply. This method applies your new font from rom toolbox pro EVERY TIME without rebooting. Hope this helps....

Thats the same thing I would like to know.
it looks good, seems like made a lot of tweak. Just like the previous said, the video were showing the review of go launcher ex instead of the importance (like the benchmark). quick response might due to the clean setup.
Anyway i would download it and have a try. thx for sharing cezzarmicu
Hello
I'm am the one who has putted it avaiable.
It's a full rom! The video shows the Launcher, but shows also the avaiable memory of the phone after the first boot!
It isn't on XDA developer because i need to reply to 10 post to be able to post on Development Section!
The rom is very stable, fast and smooth!
My best regards!

Looking forward to when you can post it here already so there can be a support thread for it
I gave a shut to this domain (I was coming from acura 6.1) and I must say that it feels a lot snappier then Acura. Until now I have none resets and its very stable.

Isnt there anybody who is using this rom? Is this a hard question?...
this is based off v21a or 21b?
It is based v21a custom rom..applying a font type to custom roms is a problem?
so far so great but there is one problem i found i use natwest app alot to check my balance on the go and this rom wont allow me to do so if i do it crashes before it shows your balance...

This font looks like Sony Sketch EF, it´s also my preferred Android font. Download the ROM and get the font in /system/fonts inside the ZIP. It´s easy to install, and there are lots of threads here and in other forums explaining how to replace Android fonts.
Basically, you need to have the device rooted, and remount /system as writable (adb remount should do it). Then replace DroidSans.ttf, DroidSans-Bold.ttf and DroidSansMono.ttf with the font of your choice in /system/fonts, and reboot. Replace also Clockopia.ttf to change lockscreen clock font.
To make things easier, download Font Changer at Market and follow the instructions.

How can I change the font of the clock on the lockscreen?

So I found a theme on the theme store and fell in love with it. Everything is great until I turn the screen off and back on and see the font of the clock. It's absolutely hideous. How can I change it while still using the rest of the theme?
Sorry, this should be in the troubleshooting section...

Go into data/app, find your theme files. Remove the one that ends in lock-1. The only thing is you will probably lose the toggles as they are themed too.

Hmm, this was a while ago and I can't remember clearly. I think I went into data/app and copied qmg files from the lockscreen folder from a theme with a good lockscreen font and then pasted them to the theme folder I wanted to change. That's the most I remember. I hope you figure it out.
