Why all the cm9 "addicts" ignore the question: how to change fonts in cm9??
Install Rom Toolbox or Type Face or any other font changer app you find in the market.
if you want to go hard way, those fonts are under /system/fonts. You can delete one of the fonts (e.g. Roboto or DroidSansFallback) and put your desired font there, then rename the font as exactly as the font you deleted. (don't forget to backup).
All the market apps soft brick the phone they dnt support ics. The problem with system fonts is that there are plenty of fonts in that folder and among them is roboto. Question is, how does system know which font you want to set as default...

Replace it with font of choice, but change filename to match Roboto, etc.

The phone keeps bootlooping if you use those apps and even the dev of the app warns you that it does not work on ivs devices. Is it too hard not to post stuff you have not applied yourself on your phone?
If you just keep bashing those who try to help you, you're going to get nowhere in life.

Can someone tell me how to edit the main font style for a theme? I searched for a while but all I see is changing font color or fonts for specific widgets. I want to change the default font for the theme/rom. Is it an xml edit or what?

download typefresh from the market.. and u have to download andexplorer as well.. the system font you'll want to change is DroidSans.. i find typefresh to be the easiest way to change fonts quickly..
also, this should have been in the Q&A forum..

Well I'm building a theme and wanted to know where/what to edit on the front end so that people who flash my theme dont have to change the font. Thats why I put it in the themes section. I didnt know if there was a .xml file that told the ROM which font to use. If all I need to do is rename the font I want to use as "DroidSans" and then place it in the fonts folder that's fine, but I wasnt sure. Thanks for your tip though I didnt know about typefresh.

Thanks for the link. I will check that out. JAguirre1231 gave me this info which seems pretty easy.
Replace the fonts in /system/font
DroidSans.ttf & DroidSans-Bold.ttf for most fonts.
Clockopia.ttf for the clock font on the lockscreen.

yep just rename your prefered font to the fonts your listed above and replace them in the system.fonts folder. Some fonts dont play nice with android so its a test thing but most of the ones I have tried from my win7 box work fine.
Hello Everyone...
I am starting a new thread for fonts for WB xperia 4.03..
Here is the complete list of fonts.
I will be posting 4 in each post
Installation is simple
Go to xrecovery
mount system and data
install custom zip and reboot
enjoy
How do you go back to the android font?

nice themes by UOT ...
This replaces a lot more than just font. Your whole theme will change(framework-res & SystemUI.apk).
Is it just stock? Did you add the mobile network toggle in the power menu like in your screenshot?
Here some more......
HERE SOME FONTS.... ONLY FLASH WITH XRCVRY...
REMEMBER....
I CANT GARNET THIS ALL FONTS ARE WORKING....
BUT...
MOST OF THEM ARE WORKING....
SPECIALLY LIKE.... SonySketch,AlienLines,Sansation ETC.....
IF NOT WORKING PLZ DONT ANGRY WITH ME...

This thread is unbelievable, why can't people just goto the uot kitchen and do this themselves.
If you try you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is and how much more you can actually theme your phone to exactly how you want it!

No it does not change framework-res and systemUI, when you change fonts and/or boot animation you don't even have to upload those files to the kitchen, it does not change them! Try watching the you tube help video on their site

Download one of these packs and you'll see that they are included (the size is a dead giveaway, then the apps are there if you extract)
They don't need to be, but they are...
Don't need youtube vids to see that anyway, I theme manually

Then the OP has included them when they are not needed.
Anyone can goto the kitchen and change fonts without having to upload those files.
If these files DO change them (And i do believe you, I havent downloaded them yet) then the OP needs to change the attachments to font files that dont change them.
Thanks for pointing out that these do change framework, People need to know that before they flash them, I was just pointing out that changing fonts (Or bootanimation) shouldnt change framework or systemUI if it is done properly

thanks, these look alot better then stock

I haven't added the power menu toggle. I have only modified fonts on the online kitchen,,, I thought it wud be helpful to have it in a thread rather than going to the online kitchen everytime and others can also access them..

Then you need to do like 10assaye said and watch the videos on the UOT site. You don't have to upload anything to change fonts. You can make a zip with only the fonts. The zips you made are mostly unnecessary. They are 5mb when they could be 200kb. Plus they will change the theme back to stock for custom theme users. And then there's a 7mb one that either contains an insanely large font or is a more modified framework...
I understand what you are trying to do and it is appreciated but you need to understand what you are actually doing.
thanks, these look very nice ...
i just use the font changer app from the market (root needed)and get all my fonts from http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts.html
tons of fonts
im using bank gothic md at the moment (the Black Ops font)

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.

Iḿ refering to install this application with busybox so i can change the font style on my phone. In other words, this app works exclusively with certain devices or i can give it a go?

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....

root and mod it out lol....this device is a masterpiece one set up right lol...
Since fonts are stored in the system files of the device there is no way to change them without root because no app will be able to write to or access the font folder with out super user permissions. So root away and enjoy your phone to its fullest potential
Edit
Also you can't selectively choose which parts of the os fonts change it's really all or nothing

Hey guys I was looking for some advice on changing the system font on my Google Pixel. I rooted the phone yesterday and I'm happy with the default ROM and Google launcher. With previous phones I've used iFont but with the Pixel I get an "error 7" when trying to set a new font.
I'm pretty sure you can change fonts with substratum.

I haven't messed with it but I know it's capable of changing fonts. I think it requires a compatible rom so stock rooted might not cut it. You'll have to dig around to find out more about substratum. I'm sure there's lots of info out there.

Thanks for the reply. I've had a look through that forum. The font I want to use I don't have all the different types for (bold, italic etc. Can I just copy my font multiple times, rename it to all those file names, flash it and have the same font universally around my phone?

I downloaded the Font_Soma_Bold_Taller_v1 file from the first link. It said just to replace the fonts inside with your own and flash. It's under the Pixel sub forum so I guess it's one that would work. My question was just if I only have one type of the font can I copy the same one over Italic, bold etc and just have the same font universally all over the phone?
Also would I rename my font to roboto-black.ttf, RobotoCondensed-regular.ttf etc?

In theory, you can do that. Of course make a backup of your original fonts. I'm not sure how short you are of the correct fonts.
