Is it necessary device should be rooted to change font(only font)?
If not tell me how?

You can do this if there's an option in display menu where you can choose one of the default fonts. If you wanna other fonts, you need root.

How can i install a font directly i to the system so that i can use it from the settings , display menu. I know that there are many apps with root that can do font changing easy but is required to reboot the phone for the font to stick, on the other hand the settings options it changes instantly. That's my Q thanks in advance

do a search for flipfonts. as long as you're running a TW ROM you should be able to download them and install like a normal app, then look under the list of fonts and it will be there.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to manually add fonts to the galaxy S3 jellybean tw rom. By manually I mean using root explorer and putting files in a particular folder if that can be done. I don't want to buy a font app that just does a transfer I can do myself. Please and thank you

You can, you would just need to put the correct file in the systems font folder.
The fonts in that folder don't appear in the touchwiz font selection screen under display settings->font

I see then; well honestly, you're better off just downloading an app to do it; as you're have to change everything in the system ui to that new ont. There are TONS of free root font changer apps. Have a go at them.

I would like to learn the areas of the ui I can edit to get that effect. I'm on XDA to learn anyway. I just finished a semester of C++ in my pursuit of an electrical engineering degree so I'm more interested in the journey than the effect anyway

You can install fonts manually in the system/fonts folder but it takes time... you need to find a font that has all the different font "states" (light, bold, italic, condensed/ all combinations of these) and should be in .ttf format
So here's what you need to do:
1.Make a nandroid !FIRST!
2.Download your font
3.Use a root browser and find system/fonts
4.Locate the main fonts the system uses (ICS&JB use roboto)
5.Write down all the font state names that begin with roboto (ie roboto-italic)
6.Rename the font states from your downloaded font to the corresponding roboto font states (font-italic to roboto-italic)
7.Paste all renamed font states in system/fonts
8.Set permissions for each pasted font state
9.Boot into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik & set permissions
10.Reboot and enjoy!

Just Google search for flip fonts. There are tons of free ones on the internet. They install like apks.

Hey guys.
This may be a stupid question but I've been trying to search online for solution but just cant fix it.
When I want to change system fonts, I just go to settings/display/font style on my Note 2. And there are hundreds of fonts I can see from the selections. But when I am doing some custom widgets using UCCW or Zooper Widget, I dont see all the fonts that I usually see in settings/display.
Some apps require fonts to be saved in /systems/fonts and some in sdcard/fonts so I just saved my font folder on both path.
How can I make the apps (UCCW or Zooper) to be able to find and use the same fonts I can usually see from the Settings of the phone? Thanks.
No one?
Id say ask the developers of those apps to help u out with that one.

I think I messed up the question.
I have a lot of fonts in the settings, display option of the phone like example tahoma, Arial, etc but they are not in the fonts folder.
Most of the fonts in the fonts folder are from roboto, droid and Samsung series. In what folders are those other fonts located?
I can put fonts on those apps if I download the font I want one by one and save them to fonts folder so I think the app isn't the problem. But since I have other fonts i want from the phone settings, I wonder where I can just get the ttf files inside the phone itself.

Has anyone tried to change the font with Rom Toolbox already? Will it give a bootloop?
Nexus ONE
Don't know but I did noticed they changed the Flipfonts. Xda users were making free Flipfonts and monotype imaging didn't think too highly of that.....

FWIW, I'm not sure what the difference would be between your way and my way, but I use the iFont app to download fonts and put them in the built in font switcher. Works without rooting or restarting.
Hey, i was trying to figure out to change the fonts on my device, unlike Samsung, when u change the fonts, it will applied to all fonts, but on HTC, some fonts only change. There is bunch of fonts that needs to be replace/overwrite. But i just dont know which one should be overwrite because i once overwrite them all and my device softbrick, thanks to nandroid backup. Here I attached the screenshots of fonts. Ohh and btw i used Roomtoolbox Pro to change them.
