Recently, i've been searching for ttf fonts and im really frustrated...
its almost impossible to make fonts from a .ttf file
we can only buy these stupid FlipFonts from Samsung Store, and this is horrible!
the old apk files are incompatible and i always get errors installing it!
please, must be a way to make an apk font from a .ttf font file...
please, share if you have some tip!
thanks

I would like the change the fonts (if possible), on my lockscreen clock, battery indicator, and possibly some fonts on my calwidget and beautiful widgets clock/weather widget.
Is this possible?
Let's say I find a font pack I like, called "coolfont.ttf". How would I go about doing this?
Ok, I found an app called fontchanger that works well...I only need to find fonts online and add them to the folder.
But the lockscreen clock in CM7 isn't affected. Anyone know how to change that font?
involves rooting and using a root file explorer app (ie root explorer)
yes, but does require root and TrueType fonts (ie .TTF). i personally use the Unique.ttf from Apple's Mac OS X SL and love it. has a futuristic but readable look.
System fonts are located here:
/system/fonts
I just rename the unique.ttf font to SansDroid.ttf (this is the main default system font thats used throughout the android ui). I rename the original one w/a .orig file extension before doing this. Bad fonts can cause boot loops and in turn you will have to boot to recovery mode and then use ADB Shell command to rename the original system font back or push it if you copy from your device.

Hey SeaMonkey,
Where do I find the Unique.ttf?? I really like that look on your screenshots
I use Absolute System to change fonts. There are like 1000 fonts to choose from and you don't have to do any work. Just choose the font, reboot and there it is. Love it.

Yes, can you either upload the Unique.ttf font for us, or point us in the right direction of where we can download it? I really like that font, but can't find it anywhere.
MMAPCPRO,
After a pretty good deal of searching many of the free font sites, I'm with you.
Any help or hints, or a zipped up .ttf file would sure help on this one.
Thanks!

Just paid for and downloaded Absolute System.
Its AWESOME! WELL WORTH the $1.99.
Highly recommended for the font peeps in this thread.
Hey everyone just wanted to post this and let everyone decide if they would like to use them. I recently did a google search and found a large file in filetube that had hundredes of flashable .ttf fonts. So I went through them all and made this file that is to be used with Font Changer from the market. There is a free and a donate version. Please consider buying the Devs donate version because it is a very handy tool and he has done a very good job with this app. Below are the steps to apply these. Very easy and Enjoy.
Steps
1-Download the fontchanger file that I have here. Fonts folder
2-Install Font Changer from Market.
3-Un-zip the downloaded file, in it is a folder named .fontchanger.
4-Move the .fontchanger file to root of sdcard.
5- Now start Font Changer again and all of your new fonts will be there and able to install.
6- Reboot phone as the popup will ask and enjoy.
Huge thanks to mayfield103 for providing me with the folder that I lost...sorry about that guys.
i was looking for some good fonts, thanks. got it installed on my inspire
Is there a way to include another TTF font in GWD?
If not, how do I use the bitmap font option? I am not familiar with using fonts another way. It appears that for bitmap fonts, I need a file for each character(?) What size? What format?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
you make a picture of each number in png. size is whatever you want it to be.

Can you recommend a tool to convert TTF to such images?

since you can only use numbers 0-9, it makes much more sense to just do it manually, with photoshop, or your preferred open source non-evil alternative.
Hello,
I have fond that if you put your TTF file in the [GWD_install_dir]/font directory and restart the tool, the font is made available as a TTF font in the tool. It is also correctly exported and used to the watch.

Interesting. I tried that with one font, and it did not work. After reading your post, I went back and tried some other fonts and they did work. I suppose there is just something odd about the first font that I tried.
Thanks.

I found that the font extension had to be .ttf, if it was .TTF, they didn't work.

THANKS! That worked!!!!
Be sure to check the licenses on the typefaces you use; you don't want to get nailed for copyright infringement. I suppose this is why the typefaces need to be in the application's font directory as opposed to its just using the system typefaces, as the .ttf gets bundled into the rpm, er, tpk.
At first glance it's dumb that the application is case sensitive on Windows and OS X (both are merely case-retentive unless you enable case sensitivity) but it's actually quite logical (one of the few smart things about GWD at this point); you're building packages which are destined for a platform which is case sensitive rather than merely case retentive.
I tried but I cannot see these fonts in the tool...
I have renamed it from .TTF to .ttf but nothing to do...
Any idea why?
Thanks

make sure you have the fonts in both the font folder and the temp folder. updating to GWD 1.0.2 wipes out the fonts so you have to put them back manually. DOH!

I put a .ttf font in both temp and font folder, restarted GWD and I still can't choose this font for my digital watch.
Any idea?
I am GWD 1.03 on Mac.
Same here
Other than "properties/details" how would you otherwise check to make sure the font is not copyright ©?
Thanks.
Which tool you guys using to add .ttf fonts to the s3?
Anybody have the Notocoloremoji ttf file they can share? I rooted my G5 last week and was wanting to put ios emojis. I installed emoji switcher app but wasn't happy with the ios emojis because it seemed like a lot of them were missing. I deleted the app like an idiot before restoring the default emojis and I no longer have the original ttf file. I have twrp recovery backup but I really don't want to have to go through all the hastle... Would rather just replace the file and be done with it.
Anybody who's rooted should have access to this file. Its located in the /system/fonts folder. If you can copy the file and send my way it'd be much appreciated.

That's the one I just pulled from my H830 let me know if you need it uploaded somewhere else
Thank you! Good looking out.
Interesting... I was browsing the web looking for this file before I posted here and came across emojipedia website and it shows that the LG G5 has 1632 emojis with all the different skin tones. I guess the Tmobile variant only has about 827? I wonder if other carriers have them all...
I have a whole bunch of fonts in ttf format.
Is there an app that can convert them so I can use them on the Fold2?

Right on top, my friend!!! Good luck
You can't install custom fonts unless you have root. You only can install fonts from galaxy store.
There is also monotype pack of fonts - you can install them. But you can't install a random ttf font, even if you convert it to apk.
