Usually when I root my phone, I download Absolute System and use it to change the font, it seems that it won't change the font on my rooted CDMA Galaxy Nexus... Anyone have an idea?
P.S. The only font I've seen affected by Absolute System on my Nexus is the Facebook app font for whatever reason.
No ROMs
Just unlocked and rooted
ROM Toolbox will let you change the fonts and many many things besides. I have tested this on SGN running 4.02

Thanks ROM toolbox is one of the best apps I've ever seen!
I used rom toolbox to change my font and it works just fine, but it doesn't change the bold text. I then went into preferences and checked for it to replace Roboto-bold.tff and when I reboot, it gets stuck on the boot animation. Anyone else experiencing this?
I would also like to get more info on getting font packs to work completley with ICS as the fonts in rom toolbox do not support bold or italic
You can easily change fonts... just replace the FOUR Roboto font variants in /system/fonts with yours... set permissions to rw-r--r--.

Font packs before ICS won't work well, I think. They only had normal and bold, while ICS also has italic and bold italic.

YES!
I tried twice, once with Font Installer app, got stuck. Then, I tried manually by just replacing the files with Root Explorer, got stuck again on boot animation.
Did you manage to work this out?

Never mind. Found a solution, metadata is the issue here.

I've changed the system font on Galaxy S, and now I want to go back to default stock font, but I don't know how. I've changed the font using Absolute System app, and I'm running Rooted Froyo JPO. Does anyone know what's the name of the default font that comes with Samsung Galaxy S, have a download link or know how can I change back? I have tried factory reseting my phone but the default font is still rewritten.
I would really appreciate your help. Thanks.
Go to settings-display settings-font style (first option) and check default.
Hope that helps.
Arial? Just a guess.
I've got it. So the default font for the Galaxy S is DroidSans_Stock_Font, I've downloaded it and installed it using the same app I used to change the default font. Good thing to know, If you mess around with fonts that you can always restore it to the default.
Thanks everyone.
Hello,
When I send an email from the default exchange email client the received message on the recipient is Courier New.
My SGS is Froyo 2.2 JPO.
Is there any way to change this font type to Arial, 10 pt, and blue for sent items ?
Thanks.
font changer from the market .

Chose the thinnest & most different one, Samoled screens have a burning problem.
Thanks for information on both of you.
Works fine now.

Not sure about this. I had the same issues with font on stock E4GT. But if you happen to be using GO Launcher, you can go into menu>Preferences>Advanced Settings>Scan font>Font
This will let you choose from any font currently on your phone, whether one you uploaded or one associated with an app. Quick, easy and it sticks. Unfortunately this only works with GO so if you don't like GO or want to stick with stock you could also try Font Changer or Metamorph, both work on stock TW or any 3rd party launcher.
I've never been able to get it to stick.
If you happen to me rooted you can also change the dpi for your phone with an app:
LCD Resolution
or
ROM Toolbox
Bewarned though, TW launcher doesn't look quite right and you will likely want a custom launcher. But it will do the trick.
Just_s I have GO launchee and my font isn't the problem. Its the size of the font :-( and for the other guy I have tried the density changer and like my keyboard to stay big and I have to go back to 240dpi to install almost anyapp which is not worth running the density changer. So any way to keep my font smaller ? Like u can do usinf spare parts but make it stick and stop reverting
i am new user of android i bought Galaxy s2 about three weeks ago so transform form Nokia so dont know much i have ginger bread is there anyway to change or simple reduce the font size to very low overall i like the small font.but cant figure out how ..couple of problem more like si there any way to change teh theam i see in google play but cant figure out how to apply them same goes for laucher please help,
Go to System Settings >> Display. There wou will find the option to change your font type and font size.
nope there is only style option three of them not a size option
Download fronts packs from play store and apply any small front tht sud do the work for uh...
Or if you are rooted... Then use rom tool box... From play store it has lots of fronts small big as uh want...
Cheers

Also you can install "font changer" and change any font you want. instead of installing a complete font pack, it can change fonts seperately. and it lets you use your normal ttf fonts from your computer.
I also want to change font size not font style. Tried big font but always restart my foreground app when turning my phone.

To use themes you'll need to install a 3rd party launcher, such as go launcher, adw, or nova, etc. Thee are many lunchers to choose from and they give you much more customizability over stock/default launcher.

try SpareParts app see if it works on ics, or flash CM9 rom samsung removed the "font size" feature from ics
If your phone is rooted, you can try to change the DPI with an app like DPI Changer.
(DPI Custom : 212 is great)
Hopefully this is in the right place... Just looking for some clarification. I downloaded a font pack with almost 500 fonts. I have my T Mobile GN3 rooted so I copied all of the fonts into the /system/fonts folder. When I did this previously on my Galaxy s3 the fonts I added showed up in the settings when I clicked on font. Now when I go into settings and font on my GN3 the newly added fonts do not show. Is there something else I need to do to get them to show up in my font list under settings? Any help is appreciated! Thanks...

I installed a bunch of fonts via apk files, and after they installed I went to settings and fonts. They showed up there, but when I tried to choose one I kept getting an error that they were not compatible. They all worked on my GSII, so I think it's something built into the phone preventing us from using them normally. I installed iFonts from the Play Store, and applied them with that. That worked. They even show as "current" in the phones settings, so I have no idea why the phone by default won't let them work.
Anyone have any clue as to how to get them to show up in the setting font list?
It's great that there are OEMs like LG that provide this level of customization out of the box. The option that sounded the most interesting was the ability to change fonts without using root methods. The only problem I've found is that all the fonts one can download from SmartWorld are pretty hideous.
I know I can change the system font with several root apps, but this method is sketchy and was responsible for bricking one of my phones in the past. The SmartWorld fonts are installed as an APK if I'm not mistaken. My knowledge of how APKs are structured is fairly limited, but I was wondering if it would be possible to decompile one of the font APKs (if necessary. Again, not incredibly familiar with them), change the font file to a custom one, and install it on the G3 in a way that it would act like any other SmartWorld installed font and can be selected from the Settings > Display > Font type menu.
TL;DR is it possible to install a custom, non-SmartWorld font as if it were from SmartWorld and use it with the stock font changing settings? Thanks in advance.
I would love to know this as well.
UPDATE:
I used to use ifont on my GS4 but it wouldn't work on my LG G3. It used to cause boot loops but apparently they must have fixed and made it compatible and now it works flawlessly.
Please hit the thanks if I have helped you.
Me too having the same doubt. Since the SmartWorld fonts are working well, so the other fonts can also work with some customizations.. I hope any of the developers will come forward and do it..
Can someone upload a font apk from smart world? Trying to figure this out now.
