Crossbow Fonts

Hi, I'd like to make my fonts look like the ones that they advertise with the crossbow. I mean i'd like to have my whole system with those fonts but i don't know how. I've done tons of searching but i could not find anything that would help me change the fonts of my whole system (unless i build my own rom with those fonts but that's too complicated for me). Is there another way? i've found some threads that's suppose to change the fonts but it messed up my fone, others do not change the whole system but just some fonts. All WM6 roms that i've used do not have those fonts that I'm talking about. I'd like to make it like the fonts on this picture. Can someone help me please?
Is there anyone out there who can help/suggest something/make me read another thread/tell me it's not possible/whatever...?anyone?

I don´t think it is so easy - but what about cleartype. The font doesn´t look so different for me. Just cleartype?? Don´t know.
Start - settings - screen - enable cleartype.
And there are registry hacks to enable it also in landscape mode. (Registrywizard or HTweakC)
thanks, but i already have cleartype on. not quite the same but i really appreciate ur reply. With over 240+ views, i finally received a reply. At least i can say ur one of the few people out there who genuinely lend a helping hand to others. I really appreciate it thanks again
Looking at the screengrabs I think they're from a VGA device (a HTC Universal for example), which is why the fonts looks slightly smoother and more rounded. The font on the XDA Exec I borrowed looked a lot nicer than my XDA Mini-S just because it was higher res, despite the actual screen real-estate being used in the same way (IE. although the screen was higher res, everything was larger to compensate). The effect I saw looked just like in some of your screenshots - particularly the first portrait one.
thanks paulmdx!i guess that explains it. it probably looks different because of the vga screen.Thanks, i guess i'll just have to give up on wishing that my fonts be like that
Sorry for my late response...I was suppose to reply back to you after you reminded me that the fonts could be changed...I managed to change the fonts by adding the files to the font folder in the \windows\fonts directory...the extention you are looking for is .ttf...I tried to use a font with a different extention and it didn't work...also if you are looking for fonts then your best bet is http://dafont.com ...they have the best looking fonts, and they have popular fonts used in movies, video games, etc...the one that I am running is aiight, and the one that i put on my girl's is the Walt Disney font...one more thing, after you put the fonts on your ppc you will need to have a program to change the font for you, or you'll need to either change some registry key to enable it (I don't know the keys), or use a program like Tweaks2k2.net to change it...it's not a free program, but you'll be able to use the program 3 times before you have to register it...I don't if you were looking for the font used in WM6 or you were looking for a way to change fonts on the ppc, but anyways here's some info for those who wanted to do this...
Btw this only changes some fonts, but not all of them...it's better this way just in case you put a font that is blurry, too small, etc...while I was trying out fonts for my girl's phone, this happened to me...if all the fonts on the ppc were changed, I wouldn't have been able to find the options easily to change the font...looks awesome though...even my keyboard font changed...my cousin said I'm ghetto because my font looks like tagging lol...
Missing font!
While we are on this topic.....Some of my fonts are messed up!
I installed the 10 button Comm Manager and couldn't get the WLAN to activate. I then went back to the 8 button Comm Manager. Later I found a fix for the 10 and uninstalled the 8. When I did it messed up my fonts. Does anyone have the stock fonts they can send me?

I wanted to put my sms,mms and email togethar.. like default HTC home screen has..
and i did do it..
but the only prob i have is...
i'm using windows default as my base color and want white font color..
but htc has black font by default in their default home screen..
and thats why my customized screen also has a black font color which doesnt match...
i admit i'm new to this and lousy coder...
but if someone could help me out or gimme some direction..
i would be thankful..
and also.. if u guys can.. gimme some cool plugins so i can customize my home screen even more..
thanks a lot..

Outlined text!?

Hi again...
Is there any way to make the text on the TF3D today screen outlined?
Most wallpapers are pretty much useless, since you can't read the calendar appointments etc...
Unfortunately no, but lowering the contrast/brightness of the background picture with photoshop makes it easier to read.
I have seen screenshots of different GUI's on XDA, where people have had different fonts instead of the original ones...
Would it be possible to maybe make a work-a-round of some sort, and change the font all together?
Like for instance in different games, you can change the in-game-fonts by simply replacing the font files with other fonts, renamed to the same name as the original fonts used...
U can change the font Take a look here

Fantastic, exactly what I was looking for!
I'll just take a different outlined font, rename it HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin.ttf and I should have outlined text on my homescreen...
- will try it right away
Thanks!
Hmmm...
It looked really nice, but when I switched to the Calendar tab - the phone froze up...
Any ideas?
Whilst a bolder font may make it easier to read, it's still difficult against high contrast/brightness backgrounds. Changing to a larger font also makes other text formatting in TF3D look bad due to wrap-around problems etc....

Well, I used a font with "more meat on it" than the Helvetica Neue one and it looked very very nice indeed!
Problem was, that it made my D2 freeze up all the time...
So if anyone have some input to, what could be the problem, I would appriciate it.
What I did was to take another ttf font, rename it as the original, and copied over the original with the new one and then restarted the device...
It looked good on the today-screen, but when I looked on other screens, it froze...
Find the ttf files in the windowsfolder.
Take the font you like.
open the both fonts in the fontcreator.
replace the letters in the original font.
Use total commander or resco explorer to replace the files in the windowsfolder. Works great !
ps: I changed all the fonts in the windowsfolder so the new font is alltrough windows.

How to correct this layout ? [SOLVED]

Hi guys,
Any good ideas how to :
1- correct this layout in the first screenshot?
2 - reduce font size in the second screenshot?
Forward thks

it looks like my topaz when i tried new font, so try to change yours and it should be ok
Agreed with the above. It's the font size. Either 1. Install a new font. or 2. Re-make the font a little smaller.

Well ... thks for those precious information. Unfortunately, this is what I thought ... too. I should have added that I wanted to keep the fonts. I like those two
I tried to change font size with SK or tweak but with any results.
Any other suggestion ?
Have you tried setting up an alias? Its a registry tweak
Code:
HKLM → System → GDI → V1 → FontAlias
Key: [B]<fontNameToChange>[/B]: [B]<fontSizeToChange>[/B]
Value: [B]<newName>[/B]: [B]<newSize>[/B]
for example:
Code:
key: MS Sans Serif:-13
value: Arial:-14
will change all MS Sans Serif fonts in size 13 to Arial size 14
but you have to find out which size you have
keep in mind that this change is system-wide, it will affect not only today screen, but all apps with same fontname and size.
while i havent tried this, couldnt you edit the lua file (CalendarConsts.luac) and just change the line font size in there?

Hi,
I have allready alias in the registgry and how you said ... the most difficult is to find which size I have. I tried several settings out but gave nothing. Probably I used inapropriate combinations. How to find it out ?
However, something looks strange ...
This was my registry setting before I tried to change fonts size
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\V1\FontAlias]
Arial:-14="Tahoma:-12"
MS Sans Serif:-13="Tahoma:-9"
version=dword:0002000C
This is my registry setting after I changed fonts size
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\V1\FontAlias]
Arial:-14="Tahoma:-12"
MS Sans Serif:-13="Tahoma:-9"
version=dword:0002000C
And whatever fonts I install (with diffent sizes), registry settings above remains identical. That means there is no relation beetwen original installed fonts and graphic fonts, no ? The best way is certainly to change size in the original graphic font. I saw somewhere an app and a tuto explaining how to create your own graphic fonts ... Have to find it again

hi bro, look like only the numbers are the problem. You can use font creator to resize them. ( but its NOT freeware ).
Can you upload that font that you are using here?

Question regarding using Fonts Creator application ...
The installed font for TF3D uses :
cour.ttf
Helvetica Neue OTS.ttf
HelveticaNeue LT 35.ttf
HelveticaNeueOTS.ttf
Tahoma.ttf
Tohamabd.ttf

I think you misunderstood what alias is supposed to do
You have to create new key with font name and size, so in your case, the name of key should be something like "Comic Sans: -18" (that minus sign stands for relative height, as you know it from Word, without minus sign it will take a height in pixels). The key value then should be for example "Comic Sans: -16". That will cause that everything that was displayed in Comic Sans 18 will be shown in Comic Sans 16.
You just have to figure out the correct font name and the font size that is used on today.
And repeat the same for Manilla calendar. Seems like you have different font in that app.

Yep, it becomes clearer. However it seems, this works only if you have classical fonts and not graphical fonts composed by assembly of different fonts as well as you pointed it out.
That's a nightmare this manila and this TF3D
manila uses these:
Helvetica Neue OTS
HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin (that's not a typo, no space between helveticaneue)
I think aliasing will work on any font you enter. Just get the right name ;-)
I am using SKTools to figure out font names (Tune Up - Fonts - there is a list of fonts). But I am sure there is a "freeware" way to figure it out For example Total Commander and his Change Font menu in About screen

Hi,
Thks for you patience ... it will cost me 2 beers next time I go to Tchequie However, even I did harder thinks in my life, I am being probably stupid and I am unable to bring it out.
Lets have a look on enclosed files :
For test, I reduced all fonts size categories to 200 p with SK Tools but only popup menu's fonts decreassed .... and no manila fonts and no TF3D fonts ! No lucky to with MaxTTM (here I got an system error ...)
I fiddle somethig with the registry ... no luck again ! Certainly wrong, what I did. Nowhere to manage HelveticaNeue in SK Tools
Yes, for special thinks ... I am a noob especially for the time
Your future help, comments, solution (ie correct my screenshots and send them back) will be welcome

Hi bro, have check your cab file. And I see the problem. Its made up of 3 different type of fonts. So resizing them wont be simple or easy for me. Perhaps others with more skill can try. Why not you try this fonts that I pack for Topaz. Just click on the link below:

Hi,
I love this Bro .. will try to remerber it
Thks any way for the ole Cambria Italic ... I will keep my ComicFonts and give up for the other exotic fonts until I find a solution (if there is one)
Hi Bro ...s
HERE WE GO !! Finally I got it !
Probably I did not chose the best way to solve my font layout problem, but I did it.
How did I make it? Simple ... (say it quick) because in fact it is not really simple. Find somewhere on the net, Fontcreator app (V5 or V6 better).
1- Open all fonts or just this one which is concerned by :
tahomabd.ttf -> WM bold font (task and bottombar and ...)
or
tahoma.ttf -> WM6.5 regular font (regular text)
or
HelveticaNeueOTS.ttf -> TF3D Regular Font (all titles text in TF3D tab.)
or
HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin.ttf -> TF3D Bold Font (all small text in TF3D tab)
2- Check and/or adjust "the left side bearing point" in "Glyphs transformer" in "tools"
3- Check and/or adjust "metrics" for the glyphs (space before and after glyphs)
4- If necessary, adjust glyphs width and/or height by using outlines scale in Glyphs Transformer
5- Save your font(s), rebuild your cab, install on your D2
Guys ... Usually fonts looking nice on website page but once installeted on your ppc, they are unreadable. Beware of using fonts coming from other forum or thread. Incredible what you can find in the cab or in the font files ! Amazing !
Enclosed two fonts cabs with correct layout for D2 and in case in ... zip file with original fonts.
*******
I remain opened to any other solution ... for futur font changing because this was the worst ! There should be a way to change some other parameters in WM6.5 or TF3D
Cheers
Hi Bros
There an other way to correct a wrong layout due to inadapted font size !!!!!
Forget those all previous posts from every one above ... to much work and to wasted time. However, I have learned how to manage FontCreator
Go to windows directory and copy and paste to your desktop (or some where else), the files "Titanium_800x480.cpr" and "Titanium_480x800.cpr" Open them with notepad or any other txt editor. Go to <!-- Title text --> find the concerned "ID Text" and change the values, you want or, that need to be changed (color, size, layout ....)
You just need to stay clear headed about what do you want.
Have fun

Devanagari (hindi/marathi) flipfont

I basically did a lot of research but unfortunately what I am going to request now has never been done before.
I want to display all english font on android to hindi/marathi.
Like all alphabets such as phone/marathi will be displayed as फ़ोन(hindi language)/मराठी (marathi language).
It should be applied system wide since flip font basically does the same.
Anybody please help me.
