Hi,
I am trying to install some new fonts to my HOX. Everywhere I saw that one needs to root the phone to do this. Then I saw this app Fontomizer for galaxy phones, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hongik.fontomizerSP , which says it can install fonts if flip font library is installed. Could you guys tell me what exactly is this flip font library? I tried installing some fonts via the app but its not working.

I've been using Handcent on my device for a while now and I love it. However, the font packs arent the best. Since my phone is rooted, is there any way of creating my own font packs?
I've tried searching the phone using Astro to where handcent stores the fonts but so far Ive found nothing. Any ideas?
Have you tried Font Changer app?

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.

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?
Looking for good fonts for the M8. I was able to get ahold of my favorite one right now, SegoeWP. I grabbed a zip of all the different apks for custom fonts that you can put on the M8. If you search for ones that worked on S3 and older Samsung phones they also work on the M8.
Anyone using an app or something to install good fonts on their phone? Let's compile some fonts here for use by others with the M8.
Apps (I've used and tested):
iFont application
Free Font Packs
Free Font Pack 1* (individual APKs)
*Note: I tested a few of these and they work fine on the M8. This is supposed to be a packaging of free fonts online. It is not mine and I didn't not compile so if there are any copyright concerns, I'll remove immediately. Source: Developer site
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.
