Hello,
Can someone tell me how to fix the date formatting on my phone? Please see attached image.
Thank you.
Asked and answered several times, it's a Samsuck bug that can't be fixed easily.
It's the fonts used by samsung. Im using different fonts and my date works fine.

Can someone tell me where to find the settings for the date on the lockscreen? I am not sure what I have done but it isn't showing all the way (see screenshot). Any help is greatly appreciated.

You haven't done anything, Samsuck left a long-standing bug in place. Just ignore it.

Thanks for the quick response. Thought I had screwed something up. Didn't realize it was the bastages at Sammy
After changing system fonts my date works just fine so what ever font samsung used is the culprit.

So which font makes the date show correctly?
Not a TW lockscreen user so you'll have to try some. Or maybe someone else can tell us what they have.

So far these have worked. And as an FYI the reboot works on the metamorph I downloaded from the market. But lets look at a different option. Does anyone know if you can change the font size of the lock screen date font by itself? What I mean is, can we reduce the font size of the lock screen date without changing any other font settings? I ask because so far I am not happy with the fonts I have installed. I prefer the stock font. So if that were possible it would be a better solution for me. If anyone knows if this is possible and can share the location of the xml file to change that would be great.

Russel_Square is the largest and you can see most of the date. Anything else seems too small.

+1 to that. Font in bar just needs to be smaller. But keep font size the same everwhere else.
OK I want to thank decalex for this awesome font. He posted a flashable zip of this font. I have added it to the myfonts.zip. It is called Tin_Birdhouse. But I would still prefer the stock font if it is possible to shrink.
I use a font called sony something.. I don't even remember now.. I renamed it so long ago and have been using it in all my custom roms and in my new ec05 plus, that I have forgotten the actual name. But it looks great and works fine...

its gotta be possible somehow cos some themes have coloured system font, I.e redpassion. I know nothing about developing or themes but I'm optimistic I will find a way lol. Was just hoping for a quick workaround. Regards Slymobi.

Download font installer from the market
font installer mate, that options isn't there on the display settings
all fonts are located in /system/fonts/
just grab any font you like from your pc, internet or any other places. you can even take fonts from windows control panel. decide which of those fonts you want to change. renameyour desired to the font you want to be replaced. aaaand replace it!!!!
though for for english/latin font this method is not too easy, cause there are lots of english font and some of didn't name so clearly. but for other languages it's usually a single font.
btw third party fonts, *ones you choose, font installer or flipfonts) are not sized correctly. sometimes they are too bg so they won't shown coorectly in boxes, or they're too small and hard to read. I suggest using of stock or AOSP fonts only.
Guys, thanks for your suggestion and I prefered to download font installer but why I get my phone's bootloop after install and applied font from font installer?anyone knows why is it??

Nevermind. Found out I had snother font selected thsn default font when I applied the new font. Changed to default, reapplied and rebooted. Worked like a charm.
Incase anyone else encounters ssme thing.

Rather than start something new I just updated my original tread title/post...here is a link to this super amazing and generous xda member who has created MANY font flashable zips that replace ALL FONTS! i am currently running CM 10.2 RC1 and flashed one of these w/o any issues. make sure to read the OP in the link.

hey thanks for the reply but I know about changing TW fonts via display but I was wanting some kind of mod that changes ALL FONT CLASSES. for example, on TW when u change the font if u open chrome majority of the web page font is still "stock". the address bar usually has the new font but nothing else. I was looking for something for AOSP or TW that changes all ur system fonts

I'm looking for this same thing. Although, using the Font changer apps on AOSP I can't get the whole system to change. Usually just the normal font is changed. Bold, Italic, etc. don't change. How do you get all of them to change? Any help is appreciated.
hey dude and fellow XDA members. I found a thread on xda for our ENTIRE font goodness on JB AOSP ROMs.
all props and thanks to dev
