I'm having a lot of trouble getting custom fonts to show up properly in GWD for Mac.
I'm trying to use the Gobold font (found here). I've converted it from .otf to .ttf and placed a few variants (specifically regular, bold italic, and hollow bold italic) in the GearWatchDesigner.app/font folder. They don't show up at all as an option within GWD, is there something I'm missing?
I've just tried putting all the variants (25) in there, and I'm seeing 8 show up. Unfortunately none are regular or hollow. What would be the difference between the versions?
I appreciate any help!

Hi,
I've been looking for an easy way to change the font on my TP.
I've tried someones cab file which works, but then I can only use the font supplied in the CAB.
Someone else suggested copying the new ttf over the existing one and renaming it..
eg, new font is red.ttf, rename to tahoma.ttf and copy over existing tahoma.ttf
but, in my windows/font folder I don't have tahoma!!
maybe this is a result of a theme I installed (the font in the font foler is nyama or something)
so, what is the quickest and easiet way to change system font?
thanks
Use this tool ,it works for me
but this app only has 3-4 fonts in it...I want to be able to add any font I like. is there a way to do that?
can I add fonts to this app and therefore make them selectable?

ok..I found out that if you add fonts to the windows font folder then they appear in the drop down as selectable with this app..
however...I can't change the system font (I say system font, but I mean the main one, that is displayed on the now page in SPB MS etc. it stays as tahoma...and what's even more interesting is that I can't find the tahoma font anywhere on the device!! (I was going to copy over this with my new font)
so...has anyone got any other ideas about how to change the font on the TP?
As you can see here I've changed my font for the entire device (you might not see that it's for the entire device but it is) the rest of what I know is in that post, cheers
I seem to recall that Tweaks 2K2.NET allowed you to change fonts as well (via the registry) but be prepared for disproportionate buttons and dialogs which may flow off the screen.
Did you want to change the fonts as a user pref thing or is it in order to increase their size and make them easier to read?
just a user preference thing. I find the tahoma font quite boring. Tweaks2k2 does allow you to change fonts but again, not the main one.
I can't quite understand it. you can change the one in the drop down menus, the dialogue boxes etc but the main one (for sms or emails for example) stays the same.
Pixel, I could've sworn that I did this on my wife's PPC.
Using Tweaks2K2.NET, you can change the system font and size.
The only caveat is that you have to have the font installed to your PPC's \Windows\Fonts folder first.
Wait a sec. Lemme g00gle this...

I'm sorry if this doesn't help. I might not be understanding what you are trying to do.
Take care!
thanks for your efforts. I had to hard reset my device last night after weeks of happy life. so I'm going to get round to changing the font with the methods as indicated as soon as I've finished all my other config work that is required.
Hi
I was wondering what i takes to change the text color in the startmenu in a WinMo 6.5.x installation.
The registry method with color 39 does not seem to work anymore. I also tried a SK tool but no success either.
Anyone with some tips?
I too have a problem with WM6.5...
I have a HTC Touch Pro II which i have upgraded from the Touch Pro and its a far better phone, but i keep having menu text colour problems...
Basically, i created a theme for my old phone and installed it on my new one and it worked for a few days, then the menu text which started as all white, stated changing to black for some of the icons - not all, but a few days later they are all black, and on my black background its impossible to read...
So i changed the theme, all text again 2 different colours! different theme same thing :S
So went to the MS theme maker software which to cut a very long story short, finally managed to get a theme from the site and saved on my phone!
Success! untill the phone was reset and now its 2 colours again! this really doesn't make any sence...
So 1) why are there 2 different colours setup for the menu text? and is there any software which will let me edit all the colours for themes on my laptop then upload to the phone?
Thanks guys - this is driving me nuts!!!!
I Know This Thread Is Dead But This Will Help People Like Me Looking For A Fix
Here's how to change the Start Menu Text color:
*SAVE A COPY OF THE FILE YOU'RE EDITING SOMEWHERE IN CASE YOU SCREW SOMETHING UP!
1. Extract the file StartMenu_GridScene_480x800.cpr from your Windows directory to your desktop.
Mine includes 480x800 at the end because that's my devices resolution(Touch Pro II). If you have a different resolution, I'm pretty sure it will have that at the end of the file name.
2. Open the file on your PC with Notepad.
3. Find every occurrence of ForeColor="#00FFFFFF". Mine had two.
It might not be 00FFFFFF, but that's hex code for white so it probably will be.
4. Replace 00FFFFFF with whatever color hex code you want.
You can find any color's hex code online through Google.
5. Copy the edited file back into the Windows directory of your phone. Click yes when it asks if you want to overwrite the file.
6. I soft reset, though I don't know if it's necessary. I figure it can't hurt.
7. Check and see if it worked.
I've attached my .cpr in a ZIP file for BLACK Start Menu text. It works on my Sprint Touch Pro II, and it should work for others but it's still not my fault if something goes wrong. If you use mine, STILL SAVE A COPY OF YOUR .CPR IN CASE IT DOES SOMETHING FUNKY!
moved to the right forum, please post in the correct forums.
I've just been messing with the fonts on my phone, and so far I've found some pretty cool ones to use (custom 3rd party fonts I've downloaded). The only thing is, some of them are decorative and will look HORRIBLE if they're used in the browser as the default text. Does anyone know specifically what filename is used by the browser? Thanks!
I can't even get that far!
Everytime I try to change one of the default .ttf's my phone locks up on the HTC logo. I just replaced one of the fonts (droidsans.ttf) with my custom font renamed to droidsans.ttf and it locks up.
If I can get past that part I would narrow down what fonts do what.

DroidSans and DroidSans-Bold are the two fonts for the entire system, they are universal (Correct me if I'm worng)... meaning, every application, menu, and even the keyboard uses those fonts. However... there might be a way to change the font via the browser.apk or maybe by doing an .xml edit, neither of which I've done. But that's what I'd look in to.

More info would be best.
Are you pushing these fonts (via adb)?
Are you flashing these fonts (via update.zip?)
Also, make sure you include BOTH DroidSans.ttf AND DroidSans-Bold.ttf when you rename your custom fonts. This means that the fonts you find have to be in pairs, one regular and the other in bold.
Secondly, notice the way the font name is spelled... Linux is CASE-sensitive. So droidsans != DroidSans.
I'm trying to make my first custom skin for my EVO 4G LTE, but am having problems making any modifications stick so I know I'm doing something wrong. I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
I'm basically following these directions, which are for Sense 3.0, but I imagine most of the steps are similar.
I have installed Apk Manager 5.0.2, and I extracted all the files of M10 Tools, but I don't think I extracted them to the appropriate location (those instructions are unclear about how to set up M10 Tools). However, given the changes I want to make (a simple color change), I am of the impression that I may not need M10 Tools, yet. Of course, I may be wrong and this could be my entire problem.
I'm starting with HTC's Matte.apk, and I simply want to change the blue highlighting to red (after all, while ICS's color is blue, my phone is black and red).
Steps 3 through 8 and 10 (extracting the apk and renaming it) went fine. My new theme shows up with the correct name. I couldn't make any sense of step 9, so I basically skipped it. I assume this affects how it shows up as a file name, so after packaging it up as "signedMatte.apk" I just change that name to my desired name, and it worked fine.
I tried changing a few .pngs (blue stuff to red stuff), and I modified the progress_horizontal.xml file to have reds instead of blues. I started with minor changes just to see that the process worked, before jumping into the deep end and changing hundreds of images and files.
I recompiled, signed, moved it to my phone (system/app), and rebooted. Obviously, that skips a lot of M10 Tools steps, but I figured if my .apk has the changes I wanted, that should suffice.
So I went into Skins and selected my skin. However, the settings icons glow GREEN, and the volume bar (which I understand is controlled by the progress_horizontal.xml) is still BLUE. Why is anything the default green? And why is the volume bar still blue? Obviously the changes I made aren't taking affect.
Help on this is greatly appreciated, as it bugs me that HTC's Burgundy skin (which is essentially what I want) doesn't exist in Sense 4. I'd also like to be able to help out with releasing skins for people (I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants a red skin for Sense 4), but am obviously facing a road block here.
Hi!
I made in root folder name Notifications and put there some .wma and.mp3 files. I cannot choose them from Lumia 820 notifications sounds. Is it possible or is my folder name wrong? (In clarity, I am not talking about ringtones).
Question 2: Some times while I am typing text the keyboard enlarges Very big. When leaving there all icons, text etc. are BIG. How I solve this problem? Only rebooting corrects the problem.
