Is there a way to change the keyboard font only? Without changing the other fonts on the system. Without installing a keyboard app, skin or any other 3rd party services!
I'm running XTXperience8 on my Sony Xperia S which uses the stock Sony keyboard. I like the keyboard and how it works, I simply want the font changed. I don't like the fat ugly 'chunky' thick bold font that it uses and just want something nice and thin.
There is a new 4.1 keyboard that's been leaked, and I have tried it, but it made my device run slower. I don't understand how or why installing a keyboard would do that, but it did.
I tried an app called "Font Installer" which is a nifty little app that replaces the system fonts easily, but it doesn't affect the keyboard at all! It's really frustrating.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
I guess you'd need to decompile the app, change the font and compile back, considering it has its own font on the apk, and don't use a system one.

I'd just try 4.2 keyboard from the play store, I really like it and it hasn't slowed down my device at all

Not sure about this. I had the same issues with font on stock E4GT. But if you happen to be using GO Launcher, you can go into menu>Preferences>Advanced Settings>Scan font>Font
This will let you choose from any font currently on your phone, whether one you uploaded or one associated with an app. Quick, easy and it sticks. Unfortunately this only works with GO so if you don't like GO or want to stick with stock you could also try Font Changer or Metamorph, both work on stock TW or any 3rd party launcher.
I've never been able to get it to stick.
If you happen to me rooted you can also change the dpi for your phone with an app:
LCD Resolution
or
ROM Toolbox
Bewarned though, TW launcher doesn't look quite right and you will likely want a custom launcher. But it will do the trick.
Just_s I have GO launchee and my font isn't the problem. Its the size of the font :-( and for the other guy I have tried the density changer and like my keyboard to stay big and I have to go back to 240dpi to install almost anyapp which is not worth running the density changer. So any way to keep my font smaller ? Like u can do usinf spare parts but make it stick and stop reverting
i am new user of android i bought Galaxy s2 about three weeks ago so transform form Nokia so dont know much i have ginger bread is there anyway to change or simple reduce the font size to very low overall i like the small font.but cant figure out how ..couple of problem more like si there any way to change teh theam i see in google play but cant figure out how to apply them same goes for laucher please help,
Go to System Settings >> Display. There wou will find the option to change your font type and font size.
nope there is only style option three of them not a size option
Download fronts packs from play store and apply any small front tht sud do the work for uh...
Or if you are rooted... Then use rom tool box... From play store it has lots of fronts small big as uh want...

Also you can install "font changer" and change any font you want. instead of installing a complete font pack, it can change fonts seperately. and it lets you use your normal ttf fonts from your computer.
I also want to change font size not font style. Tried big font but always restart my foreground app when turning my phone.

To use themes you'll need to install a 3rd party launcher, such as go launcher, adw, or nova, etc. Thee are many lunchers to choose from and they give you much more customizability over stock/default launcher.

try SpareParts app see if it works on ics, or flash CM9 rom samsung removed the "font size" feature from ics
If your phone is rooted, you can try to change the DPI with an app like DPI Changer.
(DPI Custom : 212 is great)
Big headache here. I successfully loaded the Blu Kuban 1.0.5.1 ROM onto my E4GT; however, the new "skinned" keyboard with tiny font is killing my eyes. I haven't been able to find any information on how to change the keyboard font and/or enlarge the keyboard font size. I have scoured the internet and phone settings without success. Any ideas how to accomplish this?

You could try a newer version of Swype which isn't themed or another keyboard.
Mac,
Thanks for your suggestion. It appears that may be my only option. I checked out the Swype website, and they actually have another version out in beta that I can download and customize, though it still has bugs. Many thanks for your time and helpful feedback.
There are also lots of keyboards in the play store
Perfect Keyboard Pro is my recommendation. You can customize every aspect of it
If you want to give the 4.2 Android keyboard, Rujelus pulled it from my GSM GNex and deodexed and signed so you can install on any ROM. Its better than Swype. Or you can try changing font size in settings or change font altogether. If you want to try 4.2 keyboard...thanks go to Rujelus

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.

I know the themes app has don't changing option but it uses Huawei hwt files. I don't quite understand how they work. Before this I'd just use magisk module to switch my emojis to EmojiOne/Joy Pixels. But now I'm lost cause there aren't any EmojiOne/Joy Pixels theme made for Huawei that I can just download. Neither do I know how to make them myself. Neither do I have root or can root to use magisk modules.
Besides I found a really cool font. I noticed if I use iOS emojis, the font also gets switched. I wanna have Dubai font for Arabic, custom English font and EmojiOne/joy pixels emoji. Wonder if it's possible to mix and match like that
Whoops I screwed up, how do I move this to questions section?
