I'm using Ookba's 3VO.2.50.080809 with one of the included transparent wallpapers. No other change to the original download as far as I can think off.
Then I added a font to /windows/fonts (Lucida Handwriting Cursiva = LHC) and rebooted. And after reboot some of the text I see changed to LHC.
Any ideas why that is happening and how to fix?
Also, how to delete a font file from /windows/fonts (or from /windows)? When I try this message pops up: "Cannot delete file xxxx: There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use."

Anytime you add a font to \Windows it adds itself to the font list. I guess your Lucida Handwriting font is the first on the list so it's gonna use it as the system font. You might be able to delete it using Resco or just rename Tahoma.ttf to yourfontname.ttf and copy it to \Windows overwriting.
My first font is _tahoma.ttf I saw the underscore trick somewhere to force it to be the first font on list... but that doesnt help.
Isn't there a way to specifically tell WM which font to use as default? A registry entry? Something? Otherwise one never knows what will happen when simply adding a font to list.

Has anyone found a fix for this yet? With Opera's Wm5b2 all the letters are in webdings. HEHE looks cool but now we can't use it.
Mike
same problem; I tried to change opera.ini parameters (e.g. Language file), but no success.
same problem here. Spanish keyboard and English region settings. And when i changed the region setting to spanish now opera doesnt startup
There appears to be a fault with the default sytem font on the new jasjar rom.
Change it using the lite version of tweak2k2. I changed mine to one of the other fonts soft reset then changed it back again to tahoma, works a treat here
HTH
fards
oh I also copied the tahoma font to the windows/font folder and renamed it the symbolmt font. But I can't see this making much difference.
great !! it worked !
thx a lot
lol, i have re flashed with old rom just because of this problem
but i didn't like battery icon anyway
After selecting another Font, resetting and Reseleting Tahoma it worked for me but not my colleague
For Him we had to Copy another Font VJNina to Windows\Fonts and select that as the System Font. The name in TW2k2 is VJ Nina :?
Hope this helps

There is an other way to make the new Opera display fonts correct.
It looks like Opera is setup to use verdana.ttf , but we haven't got any verdana.ttf on our new JasJar rom.
So what i did, i went to my /windows/fonts directory on my laptop and copied the verdana.ttf font to /windows/fonts at my Universal.
And 'voila' Opera is displaying the fonts correct.
I unlocked and flashed my T-Mo Dash with the new HTC WM6. I set all the regional stuff to US English, but something's not quite right with the keyboard.
The '@' symbol key creates a kind of cursivy 'L', I believe it's a British Pound symbol, but I'm not 100% sure. The '=' key creates a sort of capital C with a equal sign through the middle of it.
I use the '@' key a lot, and I can get that symbol now with the '&' key (for which there is no longer a key).
I checked currency settings, regional settings, etc -- and it all looks right, maybe I missed something -- or -- maybe I need to find a registry setting for key mapping?
Place the attached text file into your \Windows\ directory.
Thanks -- tried, but can't seem to delete or rename the original. Tried unselecting the 'read-only' status in the file properties, but it wouldn't allow it. My device is application unlocked...
Hmmm...mine is listed as et9.Excalibur.407.kmap.txt instead of et9.Excalibur.409.kmap.txt and I cannot delete or rename or copy over it either.
edit: I should note that I installed the German rom
Ok, here is how I fixed it with mine.
use regedit and go to:
HKLM/Software/Tegic/eT9/IME/KeyboardLayouFiles and change value 07FF to 0409 from the 0407 in there.
Conceivably you can name the map file posted above to anything and change its value in that key.
GL,
J
Glad you worked it out, but that's not what's going on with my device -- I've looked at both .txt files and the one posted by OutPhase has the correct mappings -- just can't use it (yet)...

use TotalCommander or Resco Explorer to overwrite the file during a copy/move

US English keyboard settings
US English keyboard settings...
change HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang to 1033 (Dec) 0409 (Hex)
use a reg editor to move the attached file into \Windows
reboot
I've already made the CurLang change in the registry, it 'took', but no change in my keyboard mapping.
I've no idea how to 'use a reg editor to move the attached file'... I'm using the registry editor that comes with Resco File Explorer, see nothing in it for file-move operations -- something I don't ever recall as being part of any registry editor, mobile or PC-based. Thanks for trying though...

I didn't say use the Registry editor to move it. Use the normal Resco Explorer to move it. It'll ask to overwrite the existing file.
Thanks, it worked. Not sure why, but I could copy/move and overwrite it with Resco Explorer, but not rename/delete it. It's all working now, thanks!!!

No, you didn't -- Johnny Lavah said it (as was quoted in my reply). What you said worked -- thanks again.

another solution
There was already an "eT9.Excalibur.0409.text" in windows that was in the UK English version of the keyboard. I renamed the attached US version as below and put that in the windows directory. Then I mapped the registry to it.
I like Outphase's solution better -- no registry edit required, once he explained to just copy the file over it's all good now. Thanks though.

keyboard layout files
Hi all
My device is french, but I'd like to use the German keyboard layout.
I can change the contact search keyboard layout but not the layout that's active when writing messages.
As I understand from the above thread, I need the german layout file, eT9.Excalibur.0407.kmap.txt. Can anyone provide me with that one? I don't see a single reference to it.
Any other hints?
Thank you, Michael
anyone know how to setup the # butting to changes your profile to vibrate and visversa? (worked on the t-mobile wm6 rom)
I miss that one too -- it's actually a part of all TMobile WM ROMs -- kinda handy, would be great to have that back!

Thank you. I tried outphase's solution and it works perfectly. Didn't have to edit the registry at all.

Yeah there must be a registry setting some where that enables it. it's not t-mobile dash phone's only. I got a s621 (Rogers) and it worked with all the t-moble ROMs. hopefully somone will figure it out.
where is the \windows dir and how can i go there?
Hi,

The file you need to change is the Bkgnd_Port.bmp in the windows folder. I think the letters are drawn over this background. I tried to change this file but I faced 2 issues:
1. When saved the file size went from 27Kb -> 220Kb
2. The Greek letters added on the top left corner of eah button were not displayed correctly on the phone.
I suppose I'm not using the right program for editing the Bkgnd_Port.bmp
If you try to change it, too you have to copy it with Total Commander and the soft reset.
Any ideas?

Hmm i give it a try tommorow.. thanks m8
I've edited the Bitmap and I also got a ~220K file.
I've tried it and the dialer is still putting the numbers/English characters bitmaps on top of the Bkgnd_Port file so it's blocking the new characters I've added.

Hello All.
Here is the package that I used to read traditional and simple chinese in my
Touch Pro 2.
These are the best font and size that I find works the best for my TP2 using
WM6.1.
Instructions are in the attachment.
Enjoy.
http://rapidshare.com/files/274928187/TP2_Chinese.rar
thanks for sharing,do you have one for wm 6.5????
This one will also work for WM6.5
integrate into registry????
I would like to install this font also...can you explain what you meant by integrate into registry or paste an example. Sorry for my elementary question...I am still new at this. Thanks in advance for your help.
Can anyone verify if this works? Tired of seeing little squares in MSN Messenger!
OMG! Thank you so much! I've been searching for an easy way to get Chinese font on my TP2. This works great. My Chinese and Japanese MP3's are now readable. No more square "text".
Would you happen to know a solution for Korean font?
I just noticed that my date/time is now in Chinese. Is there a way to keep that in english?
I assume the cab is making the necessary fontlink and registry changes to switch the system font.
Newbie here so please bear with me if my question seems off but I've been reading here and google for the past few hours and still couldn't figure out on the installation instruction.
Here's the installation instruction from the download folder:
1. Copy wince.nls into /windows Directory.
2. Install Chinese Cab, Do Not Restart
3. Integrate the registry file
4. Restart.
I have installed SPL and copied the #1 wince.nls file into the windows directory but am now completely lost on #2 as there's no .cab file from the download folder?
About #3, how do you integrate the registry file?
Thanks in advance.
Yeap... how to integrate the registry? Btw, i can read and type chinese in notepad or sms. but, when i view something like bible or facebook application, the fonts become "square box with a question mark" inside? Any help?
So i switched my font via display settings and noticed my emoji's no longer work they are just represented by a square block.
Does anyone have any font apks that include emoji's?
Apparently there is just a simple ttf font file inside the apk. I should theoretically be able to edit this ttf file to add the emoji support. I have never edited font files before so wish me luck xD
