How to Make Font Packs that Work with ICS (including bold and bold-italic variants)

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:

Can you convert this for me, please. I have tried but cannot get Italic, Bold or Bold Italic to work.
I tried about 6 times and no luck... Any help would be appreciated...

Hey there. I created a font pack based on Chococooky for you, and I hope you like it (see above). Do you think you could trim down your sig a bit? It's awfully large.

Thank you for this! finally got my fonts back!

Really good this thanks very much

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.

Thanks though I appreciate it....do u know how hard would it be to change those for someone like me with very little knowledge about how to modify APKs and framework and sustemui files?maybe I should just leave it to the pros...lol....but if u know can easy fix I'd love to know!!

hello,
i search for the FertigoPro font for ics (including Bold, Italic and BoldItalic).
can you change this?
thanks! Ronny

awesome! Nokiapure, like it.

Will it work with JB?

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.

you have the flashable zip right?
so just choose a TTF font in your PC
make 3 copies and name them
Clockopia
Droidsans
Droidsans-Bold
and place to the zip file replacing the original clockopia,droidsans,droidsand-bold
and flash the zip for the different font

[MOD] Lollipop's New Roboto Fonts - Flashable Zip

This will replace the stock (Holo) Roboto fonts in /system/fonts/ so no more old Roboto in any shape or form on your phone.
Made this for CM11. It should work with other ROMs too as long your system fonts are located in /system/fonts/
Download the file below.
Enjoy and as usual please backup before flashing.
Thanks.
Check this page to learn about the new Roboto.

Hope
It will never give me a boot loop...!

Nice bro, i like it :thumbup:

Does this require root?

How to install font

Hi there, except using "Themes" tab do we have any chance to ,install desired fonts?
i am looking for Helvetica font and its not exist in "Themes"
every time when i want to additional font, i need to download font first,then i re design my theme (in this step letting me choose desired font) and i could install...
its useless re design theme for change just a font

From @[email protected] :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66978220

I already read , no matter if I installed apk I don't have such a menu " fonts " probably he was using m8 or m9

I used one of those apk's and was able to apply the font. Try going to edit theme and select font then hit the pull down menu and select "others". It should show up in the list. If not try to create your own theme from scratch then select your font.

Is there a font close to Helvetica on HTC theme store?

Thank you!
That worked for me.
That was the only thing that has been missing to personalize my device.
Looks nicer with HelveticaNeue Light.
