On my G2 I could use the RomToolbox to change the font, then select Roboto through settings and the New font would be set. Anyone know if this has a workaround on g3?
You can get the roboto for here. Don't know of a specific workaround for ROM toolbox though.

A word of caution on using Rom Toolbox for font changes on this phone: I tried to change the font on my phone to Roboto like you mentioned. I navigated to the system/fonts folder and applied the font using the app, but right away my phone rebooted and got stuck in the LG splash screen. There was no way to fix it without using Flashtool to restore it. I don't know why it happened but I'm wary of doing any font changes other than the stock options.

You will need to download Metamorph - free on the market. That thread is old, but has a lot of fonts to choose from.
There are quite a few ways to change fonts since you are rooted (ADB push, root explorers, etc.) but this is the easiest.
Hope this helps!
You can also search for the free app on the market called font switcher something. Just search for "font switcher." It's the easiest I know of since it'll automatically download and apply fonts.

I tried custom font switcher and then my phone wouldn't boot you. I had to restore from a nand backup.

Probably you mean "Font Changer." I find it quite easy to install fonts with Font Changer. Just download the .ttf format of the font, copy it in the Font Changer folder, apply and reboot. The instructions are provided in the app interface.

I had that happen once but figured it was an error with installing busybox.

Hi all,
I have a theme eg. Lite Pro theme that I want to get rid of the Launcher Pro in it. If I use the launcher pro in the theme, it stops me from downloading updates as they fail to install.
I'd like to remove the launcher pro and install it manually but want everything else in the theme.
If I simply remove it from the zip file in the /system/app directory of the zip, I end up with a crap load of errors when the theme loads after a boot.
If I want to add or remove an app, do I have to modify any files, or change anything else before I install the update.zip?
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I'm having a hell of a time getting rid of Launcher Pro from this theme.. I must be doing something wrong.
I've tried removing the .apk from the zip file - Failed
I've tried using ZipSigner 1.1 to recreate and sign the update.zip - Update.zip is flashable but when the SGS boots up, I get a crapload of errors.. It's almost as though it's looking for something that is no longer there.. eg. perhaps something in the framework is looking for launcherpro. What can I modify to say don't look for it?
Any help would really be appreciated.
If anyone is feeling really generous can you create a workable update.zip of the the LitePro theme but WITHOUT launcher pro or point me in the right direction?
Thanks heaps.
I'm not a user of the international variant, just here to look for a theme to port but on my epic I can use the sdx app remover (not sure if its compatible with sgs) or you can use root explorer the go to system» app» find launcher pro delete it and then install your own version like usual

Thanks for that.. I've been playing around and I think I've got other issues because now it's giving me problems with the original theme. I'll have to experiment further but you're suggestion to remove the app using root explorer would probably work well. I was just hoping to work it out the long winded way as I'd like to create some of my own update.zips soon. Having said that.. I'll go down the root explorer route for now.
Thanks again.
Is there. A way to change the whole phones font? I 4remember reading about a cwm flashableway but can't find it if anyone knows the link can you give me it please? Thanks

Metamorph from the Market too.

these dont change all the fonts from what i seen, I have tried fontomizer it downloaded the font and installed it, and applied from go launcher advanced menu. Somehow only go setting s changed but not the system settings and system font
Seemed like all the fonts changed for me with Metamorph. I used it to put the system font back in also on a ROM where the font was too small.
I tried font changer and interstingly..busybox cant access root... no idea why

This is the stock font just flash it.
I change my font after every rom flash back to Veggie Burger that I really like. After trying a couple of methods, this is the one that works for me.
I have 3 files saved to a folder on my sdcard labeled:
Clockopia.ttf
DroidSans-Bold.ttf
DroidSans.ttf
I copy these 3 files using Root Explorer and paste them in the /system/fonts folder and then reboot phone.
There are alot more .ttf files in this folder (not sure what they all do), but I have never had any problems with this method after flashing any rom (from EC05 to EH17).

I do it the same way, except I saved the font folder from an old version of bonsai rom to my sd card to copy back whenever I switch roms.
Custom font switcher does it too. Needs root and busy box.

Yes.
If you use Custom Font Switcher from the Market, you can always choose whatever you want, and go back to the old Stock Font whenever you want though, without the worries of what needs to be replaced using root explorer.

And where do I get the fonts from?
I installed a font through font installer root found in the market. The font only applies to part off the system. I tried to go back to my stock font but I can't seem to get it. Does anyone know how to uninstall these fonts? Our do I need to go into recovery and back up to my nandroid?

Hello everyone...
When I was in 4.1.2, I can change my font easily. I install apk font package and use it simple.
But on 4.2.2 I can't change it. I can select samsung default fonts only. When I install apk font package I can't change to it's fonts. I have an error like that: The font package unsupported on your device!
Any way for this issue? Can anyone help me?
My device is rooted
Thanks

Need not root to change font in this case. Just you download flipfonts apk from xda and install after that you can change the font style

If rooted try rom toolbox, there is a free and paid version in play store. It also has themes, splash screens, and of course fonts.
I'm starting to hate JB 4.2
I'm having the same problem. I tried to flip fonts but does not work. RomToolBox but neither worked (my phone is rooted). And to top it off, I tried to apply the "font.zip ubuntu" through CWM and it did not work. I do not know what else to try ...
Update:
Applying the zip via CWM it overwrites the "default font" BUT it is not automatically set. After reboot, you must select one other source, such as "Choco cooky" and then select the default font again, hence the source you made the flash appears.

iFont works if you're rooted. I've used it with a galaxy s4 and g flex.
I do not have any problems installing flip fonts on my Note 8 4.2.2
But for the people that do have problems.
Give this a try...download the flip fonts you like and copy them into.... system/app with root explorer and them from there try to install them see if that works for you.
Hoping this helps
