After searching high and low, the closest I can get to ADDING fonts for office apps, are system font CHANGING apps.
I guess the only way to have additional fonts is to cook them into the ROM.
I sure hope I'm wrong.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue please?
Cac I believe the only way you can add them to an app is to open the app with the tool and put them in where the other fonts are. The resign the app.
This is only an idea as I have never tried to add fonts lol.

Thanks for the heads up.
I might just try that.
Stupid Qwack Office wants me to import a template file with each font I need, then open and rename the file each time I need a different font.
I guess I wasted that money.
I will keep my Fathom close.
Hellofa workaround.

You need to edit images if your using cm7 or a Gingerbread Tom its in framework-res in the framework folder and in SystemUI on the app folder as for sense you will need to edit files in the HTC resources apk its in the framework folder if its a sense 2.0 Tom then inside of the I believe customize folder find an apk to edit(that is if your wanting to be able to resourt to stock theme) and edit that or just edit the HTC resource file like mentioned for sense sorry if there are any mistakes in this I'm on my phone and can't check for proper names of the locations.

Ok thanks for the info....what programs are out there that are good for editing these apks? I'm sorry I'm new to editing apks and this is my learning experience!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well to edit the images in the apk just change the .apk to .zip and look through it for the files you want to edit they will be images as for the txt you will need to edit the services.jar there is a guide on here somewhere that tells you how to do it just Google changing txt color in android notification bar.

I'm not worried about text color I already did the notification bar I'm more concerned with the lock tabs and loading bars....the small green accents here and there

Those are in framework-res if your on an aosp rom so just open it up and play around.

Also what program should I use to edit xml documents?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
That's something I'm not exactly sure of you will need to decompile the apk first if I remember correctly then u edit never took the time to research how to decompile bit after its decompiled you should be able to use several programs just Google for one
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well I changed apk to zip and then extracted....there weren't a lot of images but there were a lot of xml documents that had titles that looked like they were for what I needed to edit so now I just need to figure out how to edit them....I know a lot of html and basic javascript so from my understanding it should be easy but my version of visual studio won't let me edit xml.....I need another program....recommendations?

Go into it and look for the hdpi folders there should be about 600 images if your in framework-res
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Found it....looks like quite a job! Any idea where I could find replacement icons without having to re edit all of these?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Just edit the hue in Photoshop or paint.net its real easy I use paint.net plus its free and lightweight only 3 megs and does a great job
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
So I'm using paint.net to work my way through the hdpi images....when I'm done do I just rezip the framework file with the stuff set to store and then change extension to .apk and then rezip the Rom and flash it? Idk how to apply my changes

Flash it? Did you make an updater for it or did you replace the files in a ROM that you're going to flash? I personally just push the .apk via ADB shell.
How did it go

I did the xml editing for all the status bars, vol bars etc on my old Eris to change them to blue. Wasn't too bad, just extracted the XML where the current colors were all listed then edited the raw xml with a hex editor and put the new colors in (backwards) then applied, was pretty cool....
edited alll the files that I wanted and re packed them into my rom (skyraider) then just flashed the rom as if it were a nightly update (no wipe data/factory reset).....It worked great! I mucked a few things up here and there but overall it looks very slick....I've officially made my first theme for skyraider 4.0! Wasn't too hard at all....But now that I've done all this work there's a few images I can't seem to find that I want to change the color of....Mainly the highlights press color on the select a connection type dropdown and more importantly the volume popup bar when you increase the phone volume. Also I'm interested in trying to edit some apps like the market and the messages list......and my keyboard so I can get rid of the green in the candidates bar but unfortunately I think these apps are "signed" or something.....Does anyone have information on editing apks like that? when I try to edit them it seems to work correctly until I try to install it on my phone....Input on how to change these apps and the volume bar and everything else stated would be greatly appreciated.....And many thanks to odst for being as helpful as he has been with all of this. This has been a great learning experience

Sorry I didn''t realize you had posted the answer to my question about vol. bars.....Where do I find this xml and more importantly how the hell do I open and edit it? I can't figure out how to open these xml's for the life of me
I looked around but not able to find my answer....
I see the font folder in /system/fonts but I don't think it's the correct one. How do I add font styles to show up directly under "display>screen display>font style"
Is there a way to just extract fonts lets say from another rom and copy and paste?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I found font switcher in the market that seems to work pretty well. But still would like to know where the fonts are hiding...

The app is called FlipFonts. Here's a thread that has a good many fonts you can install just like any app.

I am trying to add fonts to the clockq widget. I've never done anything like this before and it isn't working, so I am hoping for some help here.
I tried going to the apk for clockq under data/app and renaming it to a zip file, then extracting it. At that point in the assets folder there is a fonts folder. So I figured I would just paste in a bunch of fonts, rezip the whole thing and rename it to .apk
Didn't work. Broke the app. Had to re-download from the market.
Anyone able to tell me what I did wrong? Please
Pretty sure that would involve decompiling, adding your fonts, modifying several .xml files, then adding your changes to resources.arsc before re-compiling, signing and installing.

Woah.
way over my head, thank you. I might've tried to figure it out if it just involved signing or something, but even that would've required more help.
Oh well.

Unfortunately doesn't effect the widget font. Wouldn't necessarily want the same font there anyway.
@ubuntunerd: I am always interested in learning more. Isn't that what I was doing already though? (Change .apk to .zip, unzip, fiddle around, rezip, change from .zip to .apk)

I'd use apk manager. Search for it here on xda. Great tool.

Can't hurt to try. I'll let y'all know if it works.
OK, I don't know if I am missing something but that doesn't seem to do anything that the phone's installer doesn't already do.
What is the point of that app if all it does is install/uninstall apks?

Use some kind of apk manager or 7zip to edit the file. Go to mipmap-hdpi and replace/change the icon in their. There can sometimes be multiple icons in that folder. Also, some apps have the icon in drwable-hdpi called icon.PNG or ic_launcher_(name of app)

I've been trying to figure this out myself. I want a based 4.0.4 stock rom with the skyrocket icons. and The 4G icon as well. But when I changed the framework-apk it doesnt work. I dont know if im doing it right or not but would be nice if some one could make a flashable zip with these icons for all of the stock 4.0.4 based roms

asked somebody, who's been a big help to me. told me that if you want to change the phone icon, it not in phone.apk thanks for that! Its actually in the contacts.apk image that...
Hey guys.
This may be a stupid question but I've been trying to search online for solution but just cant fix it.
When I want to change system fonts, I just go to settings/display/font style on my Note 2. And there are hundreds of fonts I can see from the selections. But when I am doing some custom widgets using UCCW or Zooper Widget, I dont see all the fonts that I usually see in settings/display.
Some apps require fonts to be saved in /systems/fonts and some in sdcard/fonts so I just saved my font folder on both path.
How can I make the apps (UCCW or Zooper) to be able to find and use the same fonts I can usually see from the Settings of the phone? Thanks.
No one?
Id say ask the developers of those apps to help u out with that one.

I think I messed up the question.
I have a lot of fonts in the settings, display option of the phone like example tahoma, Arial, etc but they are not in the fonts folder.
Most of the fonts in the fonts folder are from roboto, droid and Samsung series. In what folders are those other fonts located?
I can put fonts on those apps if I download the font I want one by one and save them to fonts folder so I think the app isn't the problem. But since I have other fonts i want from the phone settings, I wonder where I can just get the ttf files inside the phone itself.
