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 !!

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

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

Arabic Font
you are both wonderful ...
i'm now facing a small problem,
i'm on stock ROM of Rogers and simply did install Smart keyboard and added the Arabic Lang.
it works very nice but i want to change the font only for the arabic (reading and writing)
earlier i had Desire HD with Arabic rom, so i had a font DroidSans-Arabic .. which i do change with my desired arabic font. but my 1x is not on arabic rom so i can't find droidSans-Arabic font to change it with my desired font. so i just applied the font and it did override the Roboto font offcourse.
see it works ok in writing (the keyboard font did change) but not in reading specially in website
any clues !!
Not sure if this would help but have a look at this thread

I am trying to add more fonts, popular microsoft word fonts, and read books with those fonts. I use fbreader app for reading books and the font choice is very limited as is. Can anyone show how to add fonts without rooting the device? Galaxy tab 2 7 Android ice cream sandwich
Decompile the fbreader.apk , change fonts.( Thats if it uses a custom font and is included in the .apk) Recompile / sign , Push to device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633333
Why not just root and use a custom App to change fonts ( ROM ToolBox Pro for example)? Much easier IMO , but up to you as its your device :laugh:
Read the link below , VERY cool app and most of us have used it and had no problems. Makes your device all "new" in case of warranty issues.

Edit : Is it a free App ? Post a link and I will see if the fonts can be changed

Thanks Sean....Is what a free App?
I heard that fbreader uses whatever fonts thats already on the system?
Sorry I meant is fbreader a free app. Tried to download it via the play store and it says its incompatible with my tab ? SGT2 3110.
Pretty sure you will need root access to alter font settings. If it was in the fbreader.apk I could change them to what ever you wanted. If it uses stock fonts , You would have to change the system font it uses ( just swap the fonts over keeping the same font name so they are referenced in the system )and that would be a system wide change, kinda gets tricky messing with stuff, fun....but tricky
You could , If you had root , decompile system./framework apks and reference new fonts to use. You will need some tools to do this ( All free ) and some knowledge of editing .xml with something like notepad++.
lol Sometimes the easiest way is the best way .......
Can I use my own fonts with FBReader?
Yes. Put your *.ttf and/or *.otf files into Fonts directory on the memory card. Then new fonts will be available in Text section of the preferences dialog.

Thanks for sharing. How could we set them as the default font? CWM?
Another question, which is the stock font if we want to go back?
Thank you

i used font changer lite. it can replace each font in /system/fonts
before u change them.. there is option to backup your original font which u can restore anytime u want
Thank you! I've been searching some info in the forum and I found this:
Denie46 said:
installation:
--- copy\paste and replace the unrarred font into system>fonts
--- give the right permissions (rw- r-- r--) for each file that you replace
--- you may get some strange symbols during the replacement and permissions, but restart your phone and you'll be welcomed with the new font
Requirements:
--- root
--- some sort of root explorer

Credits to Denie46, I attach the same .zip he uploaded. No extra app's is needed but some kinda root explorer. Now I'm using Sony Sketch and it looks very good
