Custom font after MM update - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! I just update my S6 to MM, but i'm not able to set a custom font anymore. With Lollipop i was able to install a custom font with IFont and apply it from screen settings. Now IFont still can install the font, but once you try to apply from settings, it says that it's not supported and it asks if you want to unistall it. Any advice/tip (phone isn't rooted, i don't want to root it)?
Thanks in advance

I have same issue but with Lollipop I hope someone can help us

no one can help?

Hi, I had the same issue. I solved it by downloading the fonts I wanted separately on Google. I then used ifont (my/my font section) to set the fonts. It worked perfectly. Hope this helps.

... don't work.

Same issue here. I just received the 6.0.1 update for my S6 Edge & I'm having the same issue. The update before this (security update for 5.1.1) iFont stopped working for me, so I tried HiFont and that worked. But now I've installed this latest update (Marshmallow 6.0.1) & neither iFont or HiFont work.

Same here. You know, I wouldn't even mind buying the fonts from Samsung's store if at least they got the fonts I want.

If rooted i' ve made something for fonts in MM6

I'm having the same issue as well, after the upgrade to marshmallow. Both ifont and Hifont do not work. The reviews for the apps reflect this, but mostly S7 users complaining.
Anyone notice that you can't disable the stock fonts using package disabler anymore?

The latest iFont has a workaround for this. I'm happily back to my custom font

Was sad that I couldn't install Roboto light after mm and iFont didn't seem to show it anywhere.
In Device, system, fonts, saw a lot of ttf including roboto light ttf. Put the ttf in Custom folder of iFont. Got iFont Donate version. Put it to Samsung mode, went to My Fonts section and successfully installed Roboto Light font again. All this on stock unrooted.

@episode96 bro what's the work around ..?I have latest ifont still not able to change font stock note 5 mm..

Your ifont fix is mostly covered by this.damn ad.screen that's trying to ruin any patience I have left....what new ifont workaround are you referring to? Thanks in advance for repeating for me

Me too ive been trying all sorts of fonts,flipfonts hi font ifont and it doesnt not how can we fix this?

In iFont, put it to Samsung mode and it should apply most of the fonts available. If you want a specific font which is not available, use iFont donate version!

This method isn't working for me. Still getting unsupported font.

It doesn't work with all fonts. Try the fonts located in the internal memory of the device like I mentioned above. You can also keep trying other fonts in iFonts. Try changing modes of installation..
Otherwise root is the only solution!

Update my phone Samsung galaxy s6+edge

Fonts on the S4

Hello,
I usually have no problems with fonts on Samsung devices. On S3 and N2, it was flawless but on my S4 (I9500) whenever i set any flipfont it says "The font is not available". Anybody has the same problem and hopefully solution?
Regards
Karim
Yes, same here. Not all fonts will work on the device. In a matter of fact the only fonts that will work, are the stock once.
That is not because of S4, but because of Android 4.2.2..
We've been coming up with different scenarios on how to get this to work. One dev made a Font APK Creator (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251745). It's works great & does what it should, but for some reason Jelly Bean won't allow custom fonts. I've tried installing fonts through system/font & that was a no go. The only "custom" fonts that seem to work are the fonts purchased from the Play Store. Cross your fingers the devs figure this out :fingers-crossed:
Try the Apps Ifont. it had just updated and its work on S4
Hi,
Same problem for me except with fonts I bought on the Play Store or this one Working fine ^^

Worked for me, thanks!
Anyone have a Holo font by any chance?!? I *hate* the GS4 standard font, it's huge. I've change to Tahoma for right now, but to get the System fonts (e.g. those that show in Notifications) small enough, I have to use "Tiny" which is too small for the rest of the applications.

Just wanted to say that iFont did not work on my S4 (SGH-I337). I downloaded and set and set a new font. It requested superuser access and I granted it. Supposedly, it should have changed instantly, but didn't, so I rebooted the phone. The only thing that happened was notifications started coming through for the past 2 days and my current font (Rosemary) was changed to a plain, no style font, but still set to Rosemary. I uninstalled the app, changed the system font to Choco, then back to Rosemary and rebooted back to normal. I can't recommend iFont for this model.
iFont works like a charm. Thanks!

I'm not so sure about that really. Just read this: http://tinyurl.com/dysfukk
So for those of you that have installed iFont, uninstall it asap.
Edit: I see that there is another app that is called 'iFont' on Play Store. So the iFont you are talking about might not be the spyware.
But correct me if i'm wrong.
ifont
it worked on S4 and best font style is ubunto
:laugh:
Ifont does NOT work on my i9505 !
i use ifont , works perfectly , S4 i9500
I tried ifont on rooted S4 and it did not work at all. Luckily,I have found a way around this problem.
[Try this on your risk and I am not responsible for any damage that happens to your device.]
1. You will need to make nandroid backup of the rom, and this is a very important step, so don't skip it.
2. Download and install a root font installer like font changer [ free version will do ] or font installer from Play Store.
3. Open the app and apply the custom font,
4. Don't choose reboot [ You will not be able to boot the ROM]. Instead, boot to recovery.
5. Choose advance restore and choose system.
6. After restoring the system, the rom will boot normally.
7. You will notice that the font has changed.
hey guys take THIS it´s absolutly easy!!!!
argh I got an update on my s4 now ifont won't work due to some security update policy

Changing font in Lollipop?

So, the ability to change the font is gone in the Themes app. Changing the font from TSF launcher doesn't change all the fonts, and downloading iFont, Fontdownloader, etc etc, and installing a font through them doesn't change any font. I've even tried the few xposed modules that I could find to no avail. Anyone have an idea?

Try installing fonts through ROM Toolbox, it works perfectly on my Tl10 European model...
But you're right, trying to install it through the Themes app, launchers and in settings doesn't change a thing.

Does that require your device to be rooted? Sorry in advance if the question is stupid, I'm a little bit of a novice.

Yes, root access will be required for that, however I think changing font will always require root, unless it is fused into the ROM like with TouchWiz devices etc...
There are a couple of threads for rooting on the forums depending on which model you have. It is a relatively simple process, just follow the instructions!
I need to change the font on my Huawei Mate 7. Can anyone guide me on how to do that pls...
Thanks.

Rolling back from MM to 5.1.1

Apologize first if this is not posted in the right place. I wanted to know if it was possible to roll back to 5.1.1 so I can set my font to Roboto Condensed (as all 3rd party fonts do not work on MM) and retake the update. I learned the hard way about the fonts and I really want Roboto back.

Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to downgrade.. At least from what I've read.
Has anyone tried? The worst that would happen is that Odin will fail.
Or bootloop

How to change custom font on android 9 (One ui) ?

So I just updated my phone J4+ from oreo to pie.
Before the update I was able to change my own font by using Theme Galaxy on PlayStore, install the .apk (success), restart, apply it & it worked well
But After I updated it to Pie One Ui, I can't change my own custom font anymore, everytime I tried to install the .apk from Theme Galaxy app it says "App Not installed". Also I did the same with GxFonts but it doesn't work too.
I need another alternative/ an idea to change a custom font
Thanks[emoji1317]

When you go to the read more of theme galaxy there's this:
#INFO
With Pie, Samsung started to block all the custom fonts and themes installation. They implemented in S8/Note8 pie beta versions and soon S9/Note9 pie versions will be blocked as well. In the future, non-Root theming is no longer possible and that means this app will require root permission in order to work in Pie. Soon, the pie compatibility will be rolled out.

looking for a font app for s10+ unrooted

Hi as title says I'm looking for any font apps that may work with an unrooted s10+ I've looked through the galaxy store and been un- impressed as I couldn't find what I wanted. Do you guys have any recommendations for any font directories that work for Samsung ??

Wingfonts, here's a link to the download.
You have to put the exe on your computer (which you will find in the wingfonts folder on your phone after installing the apk. Connect with usb and usb debug and run the exe on your computer, install theme, select font. Then restore your current theme after you select font.
Or you can use synergy and substratum lite theme maker where some themes have font package overlays.

Thanks for the wing fonts suggestion. I ended up installing telegram to Download the most recent wing font apk file, which has synergy support, meaning I didn't need to use abd. They have literally thousands of fonts
