I am looking to use the Roboto font on my Galaxy S4.
Is there any APK for installing the Roboto font so that it appears in the usual Display --> Fonts setting window?

there you go... OK, it's not .ttf but it worked for me though...
apk has been installed how to apply it using stock launcher...:|
You can extract the apk file and go into the res folder to find your font, very likely in ttf. Then you can use a Font Changer app to install the font onto your device.
Root is needed, by the way.
Or otherwise, you can navigate to root/system/font and replace the font in there - but remember to modify the permissions of your newly installed font ttf.
Is there any other good fonts in apk format?
Here it is...
Choco cooky
I have a choco cooky font that you can apply to your phone. I can send it to you if you want...
Need choco cooky font for MOTO G
Will this font style work in my MOTO G 2nd gen without rooting?? If yes then send me the file on [email protected]
I want this font but wth are these permission requests for?!
..
I need the font but my phone its not rooted
Iam looking to change the font using font installer, it doesn't change the fonts in the settings menu, fonts in all other places were changed. Any suggestions or alternative font changer available which completely changes fonts everywhere?

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

Build apk of personal fav font
The thing about fonts is we will always want a new one or switch between a few choices and they must be varies among users. Imho, it's better for us to build our own favorite apk font. The old apks seemed no longer works on 4.3. Can you give us a clue how to make it usable. Kindly skip the decompile/modying parts and get straight to the part of rebuild it (recompile and sign). Thanks a ton in advance and pardon the languange.
Use ifont on 4.3
No longer need apk, use ifont instead. Mine, version 3.6.1, not from the market. I recall installing one from playstore and it didn't work. With this all you need is place your ttf in ifont/custom. Let the app does its magic.
Thanks
Thanks. This is the only Roboto fonts that works with StockROM 4.3 on my Galaxy Note2. I would be appreciate if you could make apk for Roboto Regular as well. Thanks.

Sorry to bring up this old theme, but HelveticaNeue looks amazing on my 800x480 screen on the Galaxy S2+.
Unfortunately it does not contain the Cyrillic symbols, despite being the largest file (or i have a misconfiguration somewhere). Franklin is closest to it and does cover Cyrillic. The Roboto family does that too, but is too narrow for my taste.
Thank you very much for the great selection, it does certainly bring new looks to my device.
Is there any regular Arial? Man I searched everywhere and all the ones I found aren't compatible.
dacol87, is it possible to create font - sony sketch?

Many thanks for the Robot Condensed Fonts. APKs install perfectly, and can fonts can be used readily using the Font Switcher in TouchWiz Samsung Stock 4.4.2 [without root/non rooted].
will this work on lollipop???
I love this font but cannot seem to find it anywhere except in the Alliance Rom framework which is not available (as far as I know) for 5.1.1. Does anyone have an APK or know of one of the downloadable font packs that has this font contained within? Thanks in advance :silly:

Hi all,
Suddenly my default font is missing after change theme and can not be restored. The font is bigger than what it should.
Could anyone pls help me?
Thanks in advance
Funny, I have no font menu item at all in the settings (EU L29 B152)... and can't even change it through the theme manager...
Did you install any theme?
Themes (especially Chinese ones) might corrupt the font faces used in the interface...

That happened to me when I tried a theme that changed the font. I don't remember what I did to fix it but after an hour trying to figure it out I remember the fix was so easy I called myself an idiot. If I remember what I did to fix it I'll let you know.

I indeed wasn't able to restore the default font after I installed this bad theme: Edward Returns
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65618373&postcount=4
It replaces the default UI font with a silly DroidSansChinese.ttf font which hasn't all the accented letters there are in the Italian language...
No way to correct the problem installing any Huawei original theme, because those themes don't install any font at all!!!
So the only way I found was to modify the same previously installed dark theme replacing inside the .hwt compressed theme file the font "DroidSansChinese.ttf" with a Roboto-Medium.ttf font file renaming the Roboto file as the original "DroidSansChinese.ttf"...
Then I reinstalled the bad dark theme and I got all the Mate 8 user interface in an acceptable Roboto-Medium font face, however unfortunately things are not exactly the same as before...
Finally I reinstalled an original Huawei theme.
If someone found a better solution to restore the original Huawei font in an unrooted Mate 8 this will be much appreciated...
Thanks!

In the 183 themes, there are also two kinds of edward returns, I tried the v3.0.7. The font didnt change. Now if I want to change the theme, I rather check the container first. Does it contain fonts or not. If it does I prefer not to use/try it. Bad experienced.. hahaha..
I think I tried to change from the standard style and simple style and it works to restore the font.. maybe... I dont really remember.. but hesitate to try it again..
Your suggestion was very interesting, so I tried it..
But after switching to simple and then back to standard I found the same font face as I had before.
In my case I had previously applied a modified theme to restore the Helvetica font, so it's possible that other people might benefit from this method.
BTW, the bad theme was Edward Returns 1
I found a theme with acceptable font included
HI,
My Mate 8 (International version) default font changed too after applying a theme containing a Chinese font so after a day of search in several themes I found this theme that have a close to default font u can try it unless u want to root or factory reset you phone
Flat Emui theme :
http://goo.gl/BFc1eN
I hope this will help as the theme has many Emui versions with the last one working for me
There is a default font theme on the color of android M thread that can restore the font to the default.

This did the job for me.
