Font changing help? - General Questions and Answers

I downloaded ROM toolbox to help with changing fonts.
when I apply the font and install and reboot it only applies to a certain parts of the phone.
such as, when something uses a larger or bolder font, the font I installed isn't applied
there's an option in fonts for romtoolbox that let's you select what fonts to replace but there's a lot.
my question is, which fonts do I need to replace in order to get my font on every part of the phone
Example: my topic is using the font but the unread topics are bigger and bolder so they are still stock font

Is it possible to change font size ?

In spare parts there is an option to change the fontsize, I think that is a great option because I think the stock font size is way to big .. I use extra small in spare parts .. However the font size setting in spare parts will not stick, changing screen orientation or rebooting will reset the font size .. Is there a way that the font size can be changed and that it will stick ?
I noticed this with spare parts as well... the only thing i found is using "Root Tools" -jrummy. You can get in the market, and use it to flash new smaller font. That Worked for me...
But fyi one thing you may find some calculator buttons disappear depending on the font you choose...

Setting application-specific fonts

I have been having fun changing the system font, which is nice and easy to do. I like to use a font called burton, which is very gothic. However, it is unsuitable for reading large amounts of text. Does anyone know if it is possible to force opera mini and feedly, for example, to use a different font (roboto) rather than the system font? The apps themselves do not have a font changing option.

Try use font install in market/play
As far as I can tell Font Installer only changes the system font and cannot change application-specific fonts
Yes... but some app use sys font

[Q] Bigger text

¿Is there any possibility to get the text bigger?
I've stock ROM.
Thanks
There are some apps available to change fonts and font size. But I think you'll need root for them...

You have following options:
1) Install CM9 ROM for HTC ChaCha. Under Settings/System/Font size you can change default font size up to Huge. Huge fonts looks very cool and native on HTC ChaCha. The only exception is System Apps program which has 3 tabs on top "Downloaded", "Runnning" and "All", - and you cannot see tab title "All" because it is out of screen borders (but still selectable on touchscreen).
2) Replace system fonts with larger font. There are fonts which by default are larger comparing to standart DroidSans or Roboto. Also, you can try to scale a font using font development programs (like FontForge). I've tried to enlarge Roboto to 120% of it's standart size. I've applied on my device and it was working, however some characters no longer were properly hinted and aligned and I could not fix that problem with FontForge.
3) Use application or app launcher which can enlarge fonts. Like "Big Fonts" or Go Launcher. I have no experience with these apps.
4) Use application which alters LCD density. This actually will enlarge not only fonts but all the graphics on your screen. I did not tried it, since it causes other problems.
I was able to modify Roboto font by increasing it to 115% using FontCreator app without noticeable aligning/hinting sideeffects.
Font looks ok on CM7.2 ROM, however on few places text overlaps and is cropped from top.

Properly change font?

I changed font via iFont app, but looks like not everything changed. I want to change all the fonts to the one I want. I attached a pic where you can see the different fonts.
I installed a ROM which came with Ubuntu and I changed to a font named Milonga, but when the letters are bold it still shows as Ubuntu.

Bold custom font?

I've been using the font, Lintel, as the font of choice for my Android phone for awhile now.
Because my particular phone model does not support cyanogenmod, I use xposed+ifont to set up the system font.
However I noticed that fonts in bold reverts back to the system font as the Lintel font I'm using doesn't seem to support bold font - or at least if it does, the system doesn't seem to use them.
Since the Lintel font family comes in different styles and weight, is there a way to solve this issue? Do I have to repackage a font pack with italics/bold style into the font file? Or is there a way to solve this through root access in Android?
