so i found a way to change the arabic fonts back in the ICS roms and it was working fine
but after i updated my Gnexus to jelly bean 4.1.1 i did the same old method to change the arabic font but it did not work
the method in ICS was to copy the same .ttf font file to 3 copies and rename them to :
1-DroidNaskh-Regular.ttf
2-GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf
3-DroidSansArabic.ttf
and after that i have to change the permissions and restart
so i did the same in jelly bean but its not working after some research on the net i was able to understand that whole fonts thing in JB
so i copied the same .ttf font to 2 copies and renamed them to :
1-DroidNaskh-Regular.ttf
2-DroidNaskh-Regular-SystemUI.ttf
changing the permissions again , restart and it did changed my arabic fonts but its a mess up and its now unreadable :crying:
my device is GSM 4.1.1 stock + root and CWM
and i uploaded the arabic font ( .ttf + .apk ) that i want to change in case someone could make me a flash-able zip
any help would be appreciated ...
its all fixed up now
apparently it was a problem in the font it self

I need help with changing the system fonts as well, I used to use TypeFresh when I was on Gingerbread and it'd work flawlessly. After getting my Gnex, I tried that same app again and it bricked my phone, I had to restore it. Any suggestions as to how I can do this without manually having to replaced files?
I've read Font Changer works, but based on the app info in the play store, it only supports 4.0, not 4.1
Thanks
ROM TOOLBOX app has a working fine change font feature but it does not not have any Arabic fonts. If you can get the fonts on your own you can place them on sd card and apply them in rom toolbox!. I tried few ones myself like almohanad and Arabic font was changed to almohanad but system ui did not look good and spaces between lines were much bigger that long app names did not show half of the second line in the app drawer and I restored back system fonts using rom toolbox

Hey.
I recently upgraded from LewaOS (cm7.2 based) to cm10. I liked LewaOS' font so much that extracted it from the .zip. The odd thing is the same font that was working flawlessly inside the rom, does not joint Arabic letters in Windows and in cm10. Any suggestion?

Main thread: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15077-ho...-ics-including-bold-and-bold-italic-variants/
If you're into theming, you may have replaced Roboto-Regular with a different font, but noticed that Gingerbread-friendly font packs that replace Roboto-Bold.ttf usually cause ICS to bootloop. Tools like Font Installer and FontChanger are cool (props to the devs) but kind of a drag because they don't replace the Bold/Italic/Bold Italic versions of the fonts. The reason is because ICS pays attention to the font metadata in ways that Gingerbread does not, and many fonts don't have the correct weight/classification/family metadata.
To make a working font pack you must edit the metadata of the Bold, Italic and Bold-Italic fonts themselves to reflect their proper weight and design. Note: these instructions are for making font packs for AOSP builds of ICS. These are not for MIUI!
Disclaimer: follow these instructions and use my font packs at your own risk! I've tested them myself, but I cannot be held responsible for anything that happens as a result of following these instructions or flashing my font packs! Do you feel me?
I suppose you could use a different app, but I used FontCreator 6.0 Pro, so this guide is for FC6P.
Open the font in FC6P.
Go to Format > Settings.
Under the Classification tab, make sure the weight is correct (Normal (Regular) for Regular and Italic, Bold for Bold and Bold Italic).
Make sure the Font Design (Windows) and Mac Style are correct (Regular for Regular, Bold for Bold, Italic for Italic, Bold AND Italic for Bold Italic).
Click OK.
Go to Format > Naming.
Make sure all the fonts you want to use use the same Font Family ("Roboto" in the case of Roboto, etc).
Make sure Full Font Name and Postscript Name are correct ("Roboto Regular" for Roboto Regular, etc., "Roboto-Regular" etc. for Postscript Name)
Click OK.
PRO TIP: While you're here, clear out the glyph for .notdef. It's ugly and will show up in your launcher and potentially other places if the name of your homescreen item gets abbreviated.
Save the font.
Once you've done the above for each font, add the fonts to a folder called "fonts" and put that inside a folder called "system".
Put the "system" folder in the same folder as your META-INF folder (use an updater-script made for ICS).
Zip up the META-INF and system folders into a normal ZIP file.
Flash the zip using ClockworkMod or ROM Manager.
Profit!
And here is one font pack to get you started, my personal favourite, Nokia Pure, with the custom bold/italic/bold italic fonts I made myself: Now I'm going to get some sleep. UPDATED ZIP 2/4/2012:
FontPack-ICS-NokiaPure-ThugEsquire.zip

Phone Dialer Fonts
Does anyone know how to change the fonts in the Phone Dialer? I've tried several different things but was unsuccessful and I followed every link in this thread and some do mention changing the dialer font but only for HTC phones. They didn't talk about how to do for ICS.
I also think it would just top it all off and make my phone perfect if I could change the 4G/3G/1x and battery % numbers in the status bar to match my current font but I have a feeling these probably work different than the fonts everywhere else in the system like maybe they use .png images or something. Am I right?
Also, getting the Android Clock in the lockscreen to match my current font would be cool. In this I was successful by taking the modified Roboto-Regular.ttf file and copying and then renaming it to AndroidClock.ttf and then replacing it...or was it Clockopia?? Idk, I tried them one at a time until I got it to work but just can't remember which one it is.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me!

I think your right about clocktopia for lock screen.
dialer buttons are in the phone.apk
3g/4g/1x are in the systemui.apk
battery should be in systemui but if not then framework (depends on rom/phone)
all are pngs.

awesome! Nokiapure, like it.

I am able to use Segoe UI as interface font by using modified system-font.xml in /etc and put the fonts into /system/fonts folder.
Root access is required of course.

Hello,
I was wondering if you would be able to make a flashable pack for both of the fonts that I have attached in the zip file.
one is Patronne and the other is rosemary.
I have tried using the eval version of fontcreator but it refuses to let me save any changes in trial mode. I was able to get something done with the patronne where i could replace all of the 4 files but it still wouldnt bold the patronne font. It would appear in the font just wouldnt bold itself..
If you could work your magic on these two fonts I would greatly appreciate it. They are my favorite two to use.
Guys I've Defy+ (stock 2.3.6 asia retail version)

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

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
HERE's a SMALL GUIDE FOR CHANGING FONTS MANUALLY - ROOTED
1. download the font you want. (*.ttf)
2. make 3 copies of that font.
3. rename them by the ff:
DroidSans.ttf
DroidSans-Bold.ttf
Clockopia.ttf
4. Go to system/font and replace the fonts namely the ones stated above
**i mean delete the old fonts named DroidSans.ttf, DroidSans-Bold.ttf, Clockopia.ttf annd replace them with the one you renamed.
5. reboot. and VOILA

Is there any way to install and change font for my note 2 without installing apps like flipfont and others. These kinds of app available on play store have started pushing ads and font app is the last thing that i want to push ads. Please suggest.

download the apk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176490....if you are using stock rom from settings, display, font style change the fonts from the list...
You can search for the specific font you like in Google. You will find them as a flashable zip that can be flashed from recovery without the need for an app. (This is assuming you are rooted, not on stock tw based rom) I found "roboto thin" this way
If u want another way, a clean app is "font installer" it will allow you to install fonts from its list as well as saved on your SD card in .TTF format
If looking for fonts in TTF. Format you can find them at website like "font squirrel" for example

Hi
I am trying to install a custom Rom (so that it would render sinhala)
I copied the ttf file to system/fonts and added the entries to fallback fonts xml as well. This method worked well in kitkat roms. How ever after upgrading to lollipop with revolution HD ROM this no longer works.
Has anything changed in lollipop on how custom fonts are added?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the help. However I was unable to find "Sinhala" font with an APK. Good news is I was able to solve the issue. Lollipop has changed the default fallback_font.xml and there's a new file called fonts.xml. I was able to render Sinhala fonts perfectly after modifying both fallback_fonts.xml and fonts.xml.
Thanks again for your time.
