What's the easiest, least-likely-to-brick-your-phone way to do it? I tried Root Manager, but the caused a boot loop...
I use Koush's Bootstrapper to boot into recovery and do it from there.
How exactly, though? Is it under the "Advanced" menu or something?
There's apps out there that help with this. I have used them before on my supersonic. They work well. I believe you have to be rooted to use them though.
@casshern ..... is that in reference to the movie, if so WIN

You download the font package that is confirmed to work with your device (at least I check this first) and put it on your SD card and then boot into Koush's Recovery and find the zip on my SD card and install.
where can i look for these font packages?

I usually find them packaged separately in a theme thread. Like the REVOlution theme for example, in that thread it has the NexTheme fonts, the REVOlution fonts, and the standard font packages to choose from. (Can't remember exactly where I saw that theme posted though.)

Hey guys,
So I flashed the prerooted 024 firmware and the SIN files, all went smooth. Then I flashed the Eminence 1.6 resource mods, all smooth. I don't really like the default font of Eminence 1.6 so I went ahead and installed Typefresh and attempted changing the default fonts to the Sony Sketch font - and it isn't working.
Typefresh shows the 'fonts applied - reboot now' message, but post reboot the fonts remain the same as the default one with Eminence 1.6. I tried doing that multiple times with Typefresh and the font still doesn't change post reboot despite the 'fonts applied' message.
I also tried Font Changer Lite from the market - same issue - it confirms fonts are applied but no change post reboot.
Am I missing something here?
Never mind, I manually copied both the fonts in /system/fonts via RootExplorer and it worked after a reboot.
Thanks for reading.
After installing apk theme, if i restart my phone the theme well back to default and still applying the theme i selected, i have to apply the default theme then back to it.
Is there any solution??
I can't find it anyplace,and I don't see anyplace in the HTC theme app to use already existing fonts, it seems to only allow you to use cloud fonts.
Anyone know how to change the fonts other than via "font style", without physically overwriting the existing system font with a different one?
I'm rooted, and fairly good with a terminal if needed, though would prefer a chooser with a GUI.
Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried Googling "flashable fonts?" I haven't used any on this phone (yet...you have sparked my interest in that again...), but you can download fonts that are flashed through recovery.
The ifont app allows you to upload your own fonts if you don't already see it in their choices.
If you use the stock theme app you can download fonts from there

If you can find font APK, install it then choose it in Theme app.

I've got the fonts on my phone, in the /system/fonts/ folder with the stock ones, same permissions,. etc. but I see no place to change from the stock font to one of them instead. in older versions of android there was a 'Font Style' section to change the system font, I don't see it on the U11 at all.
The HTC theme app, and all the APK's I've seen, either force you to download fonts or rename fonts to the stock font (like 'roboto.ttf') and overwrite it, to trick the system; or both.
I don't have a problem getting fonts on there, I'm asking how do I take the fonts I have, and change the system font to one of them, like the (apparently deprecated) 'font style' section in settings allowed you to?

Not sure if stock Android always had a theming engine. From what I've seen only Samsung stock ROMs and Xiaomi phones have that support. But a rootless theming engine is coming in Oreo for sure:
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-oreo-rootless-system-theme/
Anyway the way I change font without overwriting existing font is, copy whatever fonts I want to /system/fonts, change those fonts to permission 644, and then edit /system/etc/fonts.xml to override the existing sans-serif fonts, which is usually the Roboto family. This works for other languages as well if you scroll down.
Every time you change this will require a system reboot to utilize the new changes, so I usually do this in twrp

Had them in the right place, right perms, fonts.xml was the missing piece, thanks!
Hello everyone.
I'm trying to create my own font pack for substratum.
I used to have these fonts applied though Magisk by replacing them in system/fonts but thought this would be easier. However I can not get it working. The fonts are all still the same name as they were working using Magisk but now they do not work.
I have placed all the fonts I want inside a zip and am loading this up in OTGSubs as a font. Included in this zip are:
- 18 variants of the SanFranaisco font, all renamed to their corresponding roboto font.
- the Droidsansfallback.ttf so unsupported characters still get shown.
- the Twemoji 2.3 font.
However, none of them get applied. What am I doing wrong? I apply in substratum and nothing changes even though substratum says it's applied.
Attached is an image of the zip, the zip itself, and the apk that gets made by OTGSubs.
Apk: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0yqVMZVYwLLd19PR2ZYQ2Y0UjQ (too large for xda)
Thanks in advance,
Bump, anyone that can help?
