I can't find out how to change the fonts on my phone. Every time I search the market I just look up packs for Handcent or something. How do I change the default font?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
go into system/fonts and find DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf pull them...find the fonts you like, rename them to the two listed above....and push them back. Kind of tedious, but that is the way I get it done
Amazing! Thanks for the info. works great!
If you're fully rooted look for TypeFresh in the market. Create a folder labeled fonts on your sd and load it with fonts. Run TF on your handset, backup factory fonts, choose which font you want to change, pick the font you want to replace it with then choose apply fonts. Free and easy! Although the other method mentioned before does work too. Let me know if you need any help....
Ok so what I'd like to do is take fonts from some of the free font packs available from the market, and use them as fonts in Beautiful Widgets.
I've installed them, but BW doesn't see them.
So, I'm assuming what I'll have to do is pull the font packs in adb, and push them back somewhere else. I don't know what directory they need to be in, though.
I could also be completely wrong and not know what the hell I'm talking about. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
Also, if anyone can tell me how to go about changing the system font, that would be helpful.
Edit: Ok figured this out. Still don't know how to get beautiful widgets to recognize fonts...
Ok. I'm an idiot. I forgot the BW settings only allow you to change the CLOCK font. The date font is changed by changing the system font which I've already got covered. Der. Mods you can delete this whole thread if you like.
Quick question when changing fonts in honey which ones do you need to change?
not sure what the files are called but you can use font changer https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martino2k6.fontchangerlite
to change your system 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.

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?
