are you rooted? if so, place the ttf's on the root of your memory card and use rom toolbox to apply the fonts
That's not simple.
Follow the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745345
It's involving lots of manual task and it seems like there's no market application yet for this. That's the reason why the flip fonts APKs are being sold in the market.
I just went into system/fonts and replaced droidsans.ttf and droidsans-bold.ttf using rootexplorer.

Here's my question, I'd like to switch out the fonts in the Rom I'm using is the Bowtie from Nebula (loving it by the way). I'd just like to switch fonts is all. What would I need to do. I read a few post a while back in some other threads that to use metamorph but the apply says for advanced users. I don't think I'm on advanced level yet but I would still like to learn.

Metamorph is really easy to use.
Download the free version from the market, once its installed you can download a zip with fonts in it then just apply the don't you want to use.
EDIT:
Search the threads for (metamorph changing fonts on the fly) and there is a zip file you can download there to use with metamorph.

You can also flash this (attached) through Clockwork. What I do is, open up this zip (use program 7zip, if you don't already, on your computer),
Take any font, rename it to DroidSans.ttf or DroidSans-Bold.ttf.. etc, copy and replace any fonts inside this zip, then flash.
Or, you can just check out the mother of all xda font threads: 200 Flashable Font Packs
I think ComfortAA (the attached one) is still my fav though.
You guys rock! I asked a question and you guys answered quick and perfect. I'm gonna try these out. Thank you thank you thank you! People like you guys and this community make my phone The Shizznit!

ComfortAA is my current favorite as well. I use root explorer to copy the DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf files on my sd card and paste them over the default files in the system/font folder. When I restart the phone, my font is there.
I bought Root System Font installer from the market. Over 200 fonts, you can preview the font and its easy.

I am looking for a zip file that I can add all the fonts from the evo in.. maybe one I can just replace the fonts for droidsanshebrew, droidsansfallback, droidsansarabic, etc... all of them.
Anyone help? I know they have font zips to change a font, but they typically have only three font files in them..
Thanks in advance!
You can check out absolute system app its a paid app but really cool and has allot of fonts to choose from.

You know longer need to flash fonts. Check out this page. A developer created a free app to change your system fonts without needing to flash. Place your fonts somewhere on your SDCARD, set the paths and reboot. BAM. Where is that good ole thanks button again??

I have used ADB to push the font files to /system/fonts/ but when I go into Settings -> Display -> Fonts, these new fonts don't appear in the list to choose from.
Am I doing something wrong?
TIA!
so sorry but how to install this guys? I mean like which folder will I put these files?
where in the internal or external memory card?
Thanks ahead
The easiest way to install is to download the app fontchanger. You just put the contents of the zip in the fontchanger folder and run the app
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Installation procedure-
Download the zip
Extract it
Download font changer from market
Go to the extracted zip
Copy the files un system -- fonts
Paste them into .fontchanger folder in your internal sdcard.
Open font changer and choose the file u just pasted. Apply it.
The app. Will hot reboot ur phone.
And wooaala. Android now ROBOTO style.
Enjoy guys.

Is there a flipfont package somewhere? That would be more convenient that brutally copying it to the device.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
No i could not find a flipfont package. This method is safe and has been posted by devs at mydroid world and xda forums.

i want to change stock font
but i just want to be sure if
it is safe to use fontomizer
on my SGY?
im running 2.3.6 stock rom (DXKK4)
it would be a great help, tia.
Yap. Ive used it but if you want the manual way but better. Coz doing it manually lets you install a font u really want unlike fontomizer it just have presets
Sent from my SHW-M130K using xda premium
i'd prefer font changer if your phone is rooted, its more customizable
yes.. and i love ubuntu font. try it.
Use "Custom android font switcher", works like a charm.
What more, it has no bugs like fonts slightly placed higher than its supposed to be. It is the only app i came across (pardon me, I'm not a pro in this topic, just my experience) which replacess each and erey font in your phone, even the keyboard fonts will be changed.
thanks for the advice guys,
ill try one.. ayos!
i used font installer by jrummy and fontomizer several times... so far they are safe and worked
font installer needs root tho
Some wont work on custom roms

Dear, all
Can someone post a guide/tutorial how to install custom font on our lovely LG Optimus G Pro? I don't want to use "push to system/font" method. . When i was using Galaxy S3 mini, i can create a custom .apk font (Flip Font) file via decompile/recompile other .apk font. But when i install those .apk font to OGP, the font doesn't show up on display setting.
So, please anybody can help? Thanks

Not sure if you're rooted or not, but have you tried RomToolbox? I use it to install my fonts, and it works great. The only time I haven't seen it work is when I try to install a "bold type" font. Other than that, it has worked for every font I have used.

It won't work on kit Kat. Rom tool box I mean. If you want some flashable fonts, there's a thread somewhere on here that I made. Either in general or Q&A. Someone posted a link and now I got hella fonts. I'd you're on 4.4x that is

I'm using KitKat.. Beanstalk 4.4 (latest one).. RomToolbox replaces the fonts on it.. I tried Carbon and a few other roms, and RoTB only replaced some of the fonts.. I rem the fonts you shared with me @Nigglenuts.. Those are great, and I'm sure the OP will find one he likes..
