Hi, I just started using substratum a few weeks ago and one of my favorite features is the ability to change the system fonts to others, including some that change the default system emojis to the iOS ones, since that's what I was looking for a long time (Samsung emojis are just horrible even in oreo). My only problem is that all the overlays that I've tried change not only the emojis, but the font as well, changing it for the default iOS one, which (in my opinion) doesn't suit android quite as well as the default Samsung font. I was wondering if the font I'm looking for (default Samsung font + iOS emojis) already existed or if someone could create it. (Please don't suggest using some root method because rooting is not an option for me) thanks in advance!

This may be my greatest dissapointment with Android so far - is there a way to add fonts for apps and browsers? For example - I prefer Georgia for reading and writing stuff and I want Verdana and such in the browser when webpages use them. Is it possible or is Android stuck to those four Droid fonts?
I suppose you could use the same method described in this thread. Although you require a rooted device and the name of the font files you want to replace.

Fonts for FlipFont program installed with Samsung devices and HTC Sense 6 devices. Works also with any ROM with FlipFont software in system. Works also with rooted devices with font changer softwares. Please do not install if your device can't use fonts. How to check it?
Got settings>display settings>font settings if you have it, your device supports fonts. If not, you need root and some font changer.

Every app contains 6 selected public domain, high quality fonts. Why six? If you not need 50-100 fonts on device, why to keep them installed? Soon this account will have 50 apps, each with 6 fonts, so user can choice one with favourite fonts. All will be avaible in app (more fonts page).
@ramzixp I want font icons if you can post some links.

I've been using the font, Lintel, as the font of choice for my Android phone for awhile now.
Because my particular phone model does not support cyanogenmod, I use xposed+ifont to set up the system font.
However I noticed that fonts in bold reverts back to the system font as the Lintel font I'm using doesn't seem to support bold font - or at least if it does, the system doesn't seem to use them.
Since the Lintel font family comes in different styles and weight, is there a way to solve this issue? Do I have to repackage a font pack with italics/bold style into the font file? Or is there a way to solve this through root access in Android?
One of the main reasons I rooted my phone is to get the iOS emojis, as I personally dislike Samsung's take on them. The only issue is that when I install the iOS emojis from Magisk Manager, the system font is also affected, as it becomes bold (will provide screenshots). If anyone knows how to fix this, help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :good:

I like using the Default (Roboto) font but the Samsung font used for the Lockscreen and AOD clock is ugly and has inconsistent spacing. Changing the system font to any other option changes the clock style. When I use a font installer to install Roboto, it does change the clock, but creates an issue where font weight and spacing are incorrect in many apps. Yes, I also tried a variable font version as well. I realize that Samsung is likely using multiple font files to create Default and the font installer is limited. I also tried GoodLock with Clock Face but almost all centered options use the ugly Samsung font too.
Does anyone know how to change just the Lockscreen and AOD clock fonts? Back in the day, someone was able to modify Good Lock to give extra options but I'm hoping there is a simpler solution. Thanks in advance.
Hello. I have the exact same thoughts about the default One UI lockscreen font. Could you please share a bit more details on the Good Lock extra options?
Btw, I did try to install the system font with the Roboto TTF file like you mentioned in the OP and the lock screen looks much better now. I do get your point about "issue where font weight and spacing are incorrect in many apps", but fortunately for me, WhatsApp is the only app where I see this. And it does not look all that bad. So I believe I'm going to stick to this way.
Here's how:
Download 'SetEdit (Settings Database Edit)' from Google Play Store.
Open and find 'theme_font_clock' row, then tap it.
Tap 'Edit Value' and input with your font path addreses (*example: /storage/emulated/0/My Fonts/DS-DIGIB.TTF).
Tap 'Save Changes' and you're done!
Take a look!
*supports .ttf and .otf formats
works without root

Confirmed, does NOT work in OneUI 5.0. Was excited too.
I hope there will be another way...
