[Q] how to change font? - General Questions and Answers

i have a nexus s on ics 4.0.4 and i want to change my font to this: http://www.dafont.com/easy-speech.font
is there any tutorials or w.e on changing the font? or has someone already got a similar font that i can flash?
thanks
edit:
actually the font i originally wanted was this one:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
if anyone knows what font that is, that would be great

There are a few fonts that look similar in the Font Installer app, though not exact. Personally, I think I might like Eager Naturalist better in that style. It may at least be a quick and easy stopgap if not close enough for you.

If you are rooted , you can download rom toolbox. It has a font installer and it has allot of really good fonts to choose from. Over 100+ fonts I believe. You can download it from the market.
Sent from my Serendipity 6.4 flashed Captivate using xda premium

use a root browser to drop any font you like into the font folder to use it. system/fonts/(drop it here).
make sure permissions are fixed to rw-r--r--
that should work

font for nexus
this type of font you can get in, go to setting-> display and then font option also you can download front from google Play, even if your phone is not rooted,
if your phone is rooted then there are several ways to change the font and you can also get lots of font
please press thank if you found this helpful

Custom Clear Lockscreen

Custom Clear Lockscreen -- Tutorial Soon
FIRST ATTEMPT
I've made my first custom lockscreen... I hope to put up a tutorial to
help others achieve the same "look." The best thing about this custom
lock screen vs. others I have seen is that it still allows for music apps,
notifications, etc to be used easily.
I also attempted to add the live wallpapers fix (w/o opengl) to this zip,
but unfortunately failed... If anyone wants to take a look and let me know
what I've done wrong that would be great!
I choose Purdue as it is my favorite college team/future university.

Nice! I applied it, also seemed to update my taskbar and rosie bar? You may want to note that.
I reapplied my Themed zip, so I got my taskbar and rosie back the way it ws before.
I will rock this lockscreen for a while, thanks!

Thats my fav too and usually revert back to it, it would be perfect if it weren't for the little boxes in the app drawer.

Yup id have to say i like Sony Sketch better. Gonna switch over. Nice find

Just a question here. Many of the fonts that can be downloaded from sites like dafont have only one font type in the download. Namely _regular.ttf The droid logo font package i currently have has a font type for every font to be replaced but one. Do you only need to replace the _regular.ttf to change the font on the phone?

The only two I change are DroidSans and DroidSans-Bold, so if you download a font with only one file, duplicate and rename it accordingly.

[Q] White background for option menu in CM7 ?

Does anyone know if CM7 or stock android menu can be changed to white background like MIUI (pic 1) or iphone? Doesn't have to be as pretty with mixed gray and white exactly, just a simple white background instead of black for 2nd pic.

Found a thread mentioned 2 files named menu_background.9.png and menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png in the framework.apk. Are the popup menu & full screen menu setting related? Could someone help ? Can I just unzip the apk and replace the image, but then how put apk back to the OS? Thanks in advance.

Have you checked in the UOT Kitchen? http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/

Link is down for the moment. I saw a youtube tutorial of the site. Looks pretty handy to mod the theme, but haven't seen the option to change the menu background yet. I'll try it out when the site is back on.
Thanks Jason.
UOT Kitchen cannot mod the color of the menu screen. It can change pretty much everything else, but not menu colors.
No reason you can open up FrameworkRes.apk and change it yourself though. That's all a dev would be doing. Changing more complicated things is hard (obviously) but simple graphic-related stuff is really, really easy.

Based on the pics and videos ive seen, the android 4.4 font is the same as 4.3
No, I've read they do have a new font, different from 4.3.
In The Verge review, they said there was a new condensed Roboto font.

Same issue happening with me too.
what is the name of that font
Hi,
Sorry for another bump, but hey... at least I stay on topic. I tried the described steps and once it worked, but on second time it failed and gave me bootloop. Does anyone know how to add other fonts simply to the menu that is in settings?

Fonts too thin after chaning them

Hello again guys, another weird issue with my new Huawei P30. So I had changed my font to the Huawei font that comes with the phone. Its a nice font. Was using it for a while without issues. I went to the Themes app and downloaded new fonts to try out. I didn't like them much so I tried going back to the one I was using before. But then I noticed that the font has become much thinner. Its like its using the Thin or Light weight of the font. The first time this happened I was so annoyed that I reset the phone (was new and didn't have loads of data on it). But I completely forgot about that encounter and I did it again now and the font is very thin. Take a look at the screenshots of before and after below (ignore the conversation, )

As you can see the font is much thinner. The weird thing is, after this, all the fonts become much thinner. The only way to get normal weight font is to use the system default font. Does anybody have a explanation/solution to this?
Thanks,
Is it thin everywhere system wide or just in that messaging app?
It is thin system wide. Keyboard, settings, status bar... Everywhere!

I'm guessing you have rebooted the phone and applied the font again, I know theme developers recommend that to ensure it applies correctly
1. Apply Theme
2. Reboot
3. ReApply Theme
Or in your case, font
