ICS ROM how to change fonts?

Question anyone using ICS roms. I have a question i used to use Font changer or font installer to change fonts for Gingerbread roms. For some reason this wont change anymore. It seems it is defaulted to roboto ttf files. I tried to change in system file but still no luck. If i change roboto fonts and replace my phone bricks.. Anyone knows how to change the fonts on ics? Thx
wanna now to
Is there anyone?
Have you tried to create a flashable zip for your fonts? Take a look @ /system/fonts/ and change the fonts you wanna change (DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf for example)
On your computer or laptop create a folder for /system/fonts/ and put your fonts there, renamed to reflect the fonts you wanna change. Then zip up the system folder along with a compatible META-INF folder with correct updater-script and update-binary and you should be good. Flash your newly created zip in recovery

I do not know how to make a flashable zip file.. But i did play around with my own. I used font installer and did the following. changed the DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf. Changing those two didnt help but i checked mark on the Roboto-Regular.ttf and did the change. Yes, that did change my fonts but When i change the Roboto-Bold.ttf. My phone won't start it it will just not boot up. So only checked roboto-regular, DroidSans-bold and DroidSans and it worked. I think something to do with the bold fonts in ICS. Not sure... Wish i could try if i know how to make the flashable zip... Thx Maybe ill do some research and find out..

I found a Theme Font Pack wich include a type of font that when you apply it change ALL the fonts on you phone.
I found it here https://huaweiemuithemes.blogspot.com/2016/06/pack-of-12-awesome-fontsmarshmallow.html
steps.
1.download them (if they are named as .bin rename it to .hwt)
2. move to HWThemes
3.go to themes app
4. choose the one of the previous "Theme Font Pack" and apply it.
Ps. for better results just rebot, sometimes it doesn't aply completly
good luck

This is impossible as numerous apps have their own font embedded in the apk. You will have to change that as well if you want a "true" system-wide font.
I do this with the Dropbox app for example as this app contains a stock Roboto font, whatever other font you install for the system it will by default use Roboto, unless changed to something else :good:
You saved my a*ss, than you!!
