Can anyone tell me the best way to find and install custom fonts for creating/modifying widgets?
I've tried a couple methods/apps, but nothing works so far. Thanks.

Just search some of the font sites like http://www.dafont.com, http://www.fontsquirrel.com, https://www.google.com/fonts/ for something you like, then download the ttf or otf files (might be in a zipped download, so remember to extract them). Put these either in /sdcard/fonts/ or /sdcard/ZooperWidget/Fonts/. Now if you open Zooper and add a (Rich) Text Module, your fonts should show up as a selection under the Text Font Family option.
That's easy! Thanks!

Also, if I create a widget with a custom icon and then package it to share, will the font transfer with the package?

Yes, fonts are included in the theme templates if you check the "Store external resources" option on export.

I was wondering if there's a way to change the app drawer icons without having to download themes. I have icons that I'd prefer to use of my own choosing

You could Meta morph applications. But I'm not entirely sure how. Search around for how to use metamorph. Should be able to then place those icons in a zip and flash and it will morph the applications and replace the icon.

Extract/unzip the apk and in the resources folder it'll probably be in one of the drawable folders.

I know within the stock Samsung messaging app you can change the text bubbles and the background. My question today is...it's it possible to use custom message bubbles and background?
If so where's would I have to place those files for them to be usable within the app?
Thanks

I do not believe this is possible as of right now. I have not seen any other threads indicating it's possible. I too would like to see this happen though.

How do you remove the bubbles all together? Looks like my kids phone.

Wow do I actually get to contribute something for once?? LoL I'm so used to absorbing all the knowledge here being the noob I am.
Aside from what the others recommended, I haven't seen any easy ways to add custom bubbles but I did recently notice that you can easily change the background to a custom picture.
If you go into your messaging settings and choose to change the background, there's an option to add your own picture whether it be from your gallery or directly from your camera. The one and only downside is that you're limited to one custom background at a time... if you change it, your new choice will overwrite the old. No big, tho.
I remember looking for this option back on ICS but never found it so I'm assuming it was added with the JB update.
(I'm running on rooted stock ROM, btw.)

I did this for my GS2 because I love blue and gray together. I am using an mms.apk from a rom in the dev section right now, but this weekend I'll try to work on theming the stock mms.apk with different colors. I'll upload when/if I get time this weekend.

Without installing custom rom. Possible?

Yes. Download icon changer or install nova, go or other launcher.

If you have root, you can try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&hl=en
I've used it to change my signal icon and it worked.
I use Icon Changer and Desktop Visualiser...
Icon changer actually makes an icon for the app with your chosen pic (so you can move it to the dock). It'll let you change the name, as well as a few other settings like rounding corners and contrast and whatnot.
Desktop Visualiser is a widget. You can use it to make any size icons you want, with custom pics and names. There is a demo video in the play store you can watch to show you how to use it and the other features it and it's addons have.
Hope that helps

Trying to install Coolvetica font which I brought over from my S3. Get error "font not available".
The apk does install, and is available to select in the display settings. However, that is as far as I can get. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
Was able to install font using Rom Toolbox, but this does not change the fonts for everything on my phone. For example this xda premium app still uses the default font for the headers and my Coolvetica font for the body of the thread.
