Hi community,
is there any way to get the Helvetica font on our device?
For example with a .ttf file + font changer?
All characters working?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA
It's much easier to implement a font taken from another ROM. For example I'm using segoe wp on endymion, which is a font from windows phone 7. If you want something like that, search the forums, it's already somewhere.
But I would also like to know if there's any way to import a font with for example an .ttf file

You mean the Segeo font from Endymion Control center?

Not sure what you talking about. In endy control center there is no option to change the font.
And since I'm using segeo wp on the whole system I cannot say what font the control center has by default.

Where did you get Segeo WP?
BTW: You can, when you launch Theme Manager there's an option to change fonts!

When you download a font linked by dan-fish (I'm using those too) you'll get a flashable zip. after unzip the file, there is one folder "fonts" with some simple .ttf Files and one folder "meta-inf" with scripts and files I do not know about.
Maybe its possible to replace the .ttf files with some from helvetica (regular, bold etc.). But I don't know if there are also other changes in scripts etc. needed.

Not sure if i'm allowed to post it though. Use it with font changer from the market and it should work. I can't guarantee it though.

I believe the dropdown text is an xml edit if you decompile the framework, otherwisr you would need to use a hex editor to change this. I will see if I can find the poat with instructions and post back with a link

I never changed my fonts until i flashed liberty 1.0 and a theme changed the font and after i went back to apex i missed the font so i started to google different fonts and found this forum in xda with downloadable fonts in a .zip file so just flash it using bootstrap

cant you just do it like you would on liberty with the liberty toolbox on the market? (if its still there...)

I'm somewhat new to hacking and modding. And I'm reading a lot, as well as playing with my phone a lot. I happened to extract the framework-res file to my sd card.
What are all the things I could customize with playing with that file?

Anything you want. The easiest thing is editing the png so you change the system appearance. But you don't have to extract it to SD, you have to send it to your PC, decompile it (for .9.png's and xml, if just png you can extract the folder, then put the edited png's back in the apk with 7zip and push), and do whatever you want.
You will need to look for info about decompiling and pushing if you don't know yet.
So is that how themeing works?

I saw you, I just haven't time to write. Look for a tutorial about pulling and also APK Manager for decompiling. You will need adb

Fonts are not in framework. They are in system/fonts, so you can go to the zip of your current ROM in the PC, open it, go to system/fonts and copy them. Then paste them into the zip of the new ROM or flash it, then push the fonts. (If you can, it will be easier doing it before flashing, with WinRAR or 7zip in computer)

You could upload the file you extracted to the uot kitchen (google it, i cannot provide links).

For matching the colors you can use any app that lets you choose a custom color. I used widgetsoid, chose a custom color that matched my theme and wrote down the hex value. You can then use the hex value in the uot kitchen.

My bad.. I looked in the kitchen and that font isn't available.
But I have you an alternative... download Custom Android Font Switcher from the market. It's an app that comes with preinstalled fonts. The font you want is available. HE'S calling it "Droid Logo" in his list of available fonts.
Select that font and it will apply said font as your system font.
That way you don't have to wait for someone to compile a zip... or at least get you by till some one does.

Hey everyone just wanted to post this and let everyone decide if they would like to use them. I recently did a google search and found a large file in filetube that had hundredes of flashable .ttf fonts. So I went through them all and made this file that is to be used with Font Changer from the market. There is a free and a donate version. Please consider buying the Devs donate version because it is a very handy tool and he has done a very good job with this app. Below are the steps to apply these. Very easy and Enjoy.
Steps
1-Download the fontchanger file that I have here. Fonts folder
2-Install Font Changer from Market.
3-Un-zip the downloaded file, in it is a folder named .fontchanger.
4-Move the .fontchanger file to root of sdcard.
5- Now start Font Changer again and all of your new fonts will be there and able to install.
6- Reboot phone as the popup will ask and enjoy.
Huge thanks to mayfield103 for providing me with the folder that I lost...sorry about that guys.
Works perfectly! Many thanks.....
Thank you for this! I have used font Changer before and know how to get those on there, unless you had those already I would say that took you some time, so thank again! Awesome job!
amazing stuff. just love diablo font. thx

Thanks and font viewers
Thanks for putting those together, that was a lot of work. Here are a couple of font viewers for Windows if you want to see what the fonts look like.
Font Runner - not portable but very good
dp4 Font Viewer - portable version
Also, if you set the font preview size to 12px or 14px (for the programs above) it will give you a better idea of what the fonts will look when installed.
I will add a link to this in my theme thread if that's okay.

Yes they will. Also there are thousands of fonts at dafont.com you can even download them from your phone just have to be ttf fonts and i think the EVO 3d even supports otf fonts but I'm not 100% sure about that.

Requested Clocktopia
So here is the requested clocktopia font. But it is not going to give you the font you are looking for I believe. The honeycomb tablets use two different fonts for the clock that is displayed. One parts is the non highlighted parts and the other is the highlighted parts. Together these fonts look good but seperate they are of no use. Will keep looking to see if I can find something that may work. I did find a tread over in the EVO section of someone requesting a honeycomb font and the reply was that there was a font created but because some one the letters look awful the font was never published. I have alos found one that was missing some letters so I won't publish that one either. The atteached file is NOT actually a .zip file. I just renamed it from .ttf to .zip so that I could upload here. Just rename back to .ttf and change the clocktopia to what ever you would like.
EDIT: Just found this other one that does have the honeycomb style numbers. But letters are a bit off. Just rename this file to .ttf as well.

if you're like me and hate the provided fonts by lg, than here is a zip i had thrown together for my htc one m8 and flashed on my g3 last night, it worked fine. it replaces all the stock fonts with roboto condensed and looks great! i had not seen a flashable system wide font replacement yet so i figured i would put this here for anyone who is not a fan of the default fonts! as usual always make a nand before flashing just in case but i have flashed it on stock ROOTED and on ZoneROM for t-mobile without any issues. enjoy!
Any way of doing this without having to flash? Right nw I think the Tmo version is the only one with an unlocked bootloader and can flash things via cwm/twrp

x2 would love this font but can't install custom recovery on ATT variant until bootloader is unlocked.
unfortunately I myself am at a loss aside from using a font swapping app from the playstore which all require root but I have seen those causing bootloops in other threads i was not sure about custom recoveries on other variants yet so i just posted this here for the sake of sharing it on the general forum as opposed to only the t-mo. hope you guys get recoveries soon!

They do, you just have to get them from the LG SmartWorld "store." It can be found, among other places here: http://us.lgworld.com/web.main.dev
There's also a place for people to submit apps, so I'm assuming fonts can be submitted as well.
