File Manager able to access system files
Here, for example I have used Gujarati fonts. You can use this tutorial for any other fonts(true type).
Steps:
Copy the 'fallback_fonts.xml' to a local directory
Change 'fallback_fonts.xml' with the text editor. (See list of changes)
Push 'fallback_fonts.xml' to /system/etc
Push 'Lohit-Gujarati.ttf' to /system/fonts
Change permissions of 'fallback_fonts.xml' to -rw-r--r--
Change permissions of 'Lohit-Gujarati.ttf' to -rw-r--r--
Reboot
List of Changes in "fallback_fonts.xml" :
Add these lines after any </family> tag but in between the <familyset> tags
<family>
<fileset>
<file>Lohit-Gujarati.ttf</file>
</fileset>
</family>
P.S. : Get Lohit-Gujarati.ttf from attached zip file Lohit-Gujarati.zip . You can also download it from fedorahosted website if you want the original source.

In text editor you have to add new family tag for the fonts u add for your language. Don't touch other fonts names & tags...

If you download it and double click the file(I mean the *.ttf) Windows will open a preview.
Some fonts do not support Greeks(and other languages, I believe).

This is the way to have the Helvetica font (Iphone) in our i9003.
Download Helvetica Font, extract the rar, and copy files to external SD. Then with Root Explorer copy them to /system/fonts and replace files (do a backup of the replaced files previously to restore if you dont like the changes). Reboot!
This files can be used in any android phone (just have to change the name of the predetermined font to replace it).
I know that is an app somewhere in the forum and a payd app, but it is too small, dont have the "¿" and other symbols, and have problems with the some apps like TW Calendar. THIS IS NOT THE SAME FONT OF THE APPS !
Helvetica Font Multiupload link
You can download Font Changer and put files inside app folder to change fonts too.
Can you upload into multi-upload? I can't access Megaupload in China Hong Kong.

Friends, just find a fonts rar file attached. The files inside are in apk format so just install as regular applications. This include even Helitica font also. After installation u will find these fonts under Settings>display>fonts. Enjoy
I did't want to open a seperate thread for this. Hope it's fine.

That app is NOT THE HELVETICA FONT. Its the Helvetica Std Medium Condensed. Is really ugly, and its not the same font of Iphone.
Most of the kewl flip fonts on market is compatible for our phone thot everyone knew tat! And its free for anyone to dld. Or use the app called fontimizer it'd do the work

Its call Fontomizer, and it doesnt have Helvetica font (Just Hindi).
I wouldnt create this thread without any previous investigation. The fonts in market are not free, and even then, they are no like this one. They are too small to read, and and doesnt have all symbols.
Thanks for sharing, juanmaper.

P.S. I found a solution for the annoying font problem. Deleting/renaming DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf in /system/fonts/ folder does the goal.

Go to system/fonts change both DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans - Bold.ttf to .bak and then duplicate the font that you use/wish (Bold and Regular) and rename to DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans - Bold.ttf. Reboot and thats it.

Hello everyone !
I'm going to tell you how to change Persian or Arabic fonts in beloved Galaxy Note3!!
First of all you need to have Root access , with a simple search in forums you can findout how to Root.
Then you got to install "Root Explorer " or any file manager you know how to work with and gives you system file access .
Now download any font you like or copy from your C:windows/font folder to your SD card and rename it to GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf the font file must be in ttf format itself, which all are in.
Next go to Root/system/fonts and change the font file with name GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf to GS45_Arab_AndroidOS2.ttf or anything so when you regret changing your font you have the original one lol .
However, copy your new GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf this folder.
TADA you just have changed your FONT !! :victory:
or just install fontchanger and change it in advanced mode......TADA
One of the problems in changing the font for me as bilingual user is finding a good font that has good combination of fonts in single file !
You'll get one of the language's font is good and the other would, most probably, suck !
But thanks for the OP, Windows fonts are mostly good for both langs !
Well, you always can find nice English fonts in market for flipfont but they usually change your English font and keep your Arabic/Persian font same as default. But with this method you can change the default Arabic/Persian font as you want then use other fonts for yur flipfont.
Tho you always can mess with system font folder and change anything you want but don't forget to make a backup before anything.
And as for third party apps to do this um I don't know its just more fun to do such things manual !!
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Works like a charm
this is EXACTLY what I was looking for for a long time.
this method changes the font EVERYWHERE. font changing applications only change the font in system and most of the apps stay the same (for arabic only)
thank you
---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------
now is there a way to make a combined font style to change both English and arabic fonts? combined or changing each alone?
or to make the question more clear, which font I should replace to change the english too?
because if I change it from the settings it will change the arabic too
Android 5.1.1
