[Q] Replace system fonts?

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!

[Resolved] [Q] Trying to modify framework-res.apk => no actions

Hello.
I'm French and live in Japan. I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Docomo (SC04E) in 4.4.2 who have only English, Japanese & Korean languages and I'm trying to add the French local in some system apks. (I take them from an extracted French ROM of the S4).
All is fine for a lot of them, I'd read a lot a tutorials before begun.
But When I work in the framework-res.apk, it seems to do nothing !
Explanation :
-No translation for the contextual menu in the home screen, and no translation in the lockscreen.
-I've tried to replace the "Swipe screen to unlock" message in the res/values/strings.xml (this is the only file who contain this text) and it didn't change after install (copy and replace with root browser) in the system/framework/ dir.
-The size of the modified file is bigger in root browser than the original one, even after reboot, so the file is the new one.
-After long time searching, I saw that the exact text in the lockscreen is "Swipe screen to unlock." whith a dot at the end, and I don't have this sentence whith a dot in any file of the decompiled framework-res.apk !!!
What I'm doing wrong ???
PS: I saw that it's possible to "overlay" the framework-res.apk (and any system apk) with a file in /vendor/overlay/ I don't have this directory.
Thanks in advance.
Find it !!
Ok, I will answer myself as I found the solution :
This is due to the "overlay" Samsung put in there phones (Touchwizz).
The apks are : Keyguard.apk and SecLauncher3.apk in /system/priv-app/
Anyway thanks for reading !!

Lg G2 V30 LP font mod

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

I found a Theme Font Pack wich include a type of font that when you apply it change ALL the fonts on you phone.
I found it here https://huaweiemuithemes.blogspot.com/2016/06/pack-of-12-awesome-fontsmarshmallow.html
steps.
1.download them (if they are named as .bin rename it to .hwt)
2. move to HWThemes
3.go to themes app
4. choose the one of the previous "Theme Font Pack" and apply it.
Ps. for better results just rebot, sometimes it doesn't aply completly
good luck

This is impossible as numerous apps have their own font embedded in the apk. You will have to change that as well if you want a "true" system-wide font.
I do this with the Dropbox app for example as this app contains a stock Roboto font, whatever other font you install for the system it will by default use Roboto, unless changed to something else :good:
You saved my a*ss, than you!!
