How did you change the system font?
I'd like to change the system font to a simple arial font and can't figure out how to do that. Any ideas?
Also, any ideas about how to change the menus so they show up as a list rather than tiled icons?

copy the required font to Windows/Fonts directory of your windows mobile...
Check the following registry sections:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT\Nm
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\BarFnt\Nm
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt\Nm
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\OOMFnt\Nm
in Nm use the font you have just pasted in Windows/Fonts
by the way i have also found a way to change the system/outlook/today font:
e.g; i like Calibri Font, so i renamed the regular Calibri font as Tahoma.ttf and bold calibri font as tahomabd.ttf and replaced the ones in Windows... reset and it was changed.
.

Just a tip for anyone, there is a chance you will run into problems using the windows\fonts directory for a system font file, I highly recommend placing the font directly in the Windows directory, also the last installed font in the Windows\fonts directory will be used, for example, if you drop Impact.ttf in the fonts direcotry, and power off/on the device, you will have impact as the font in PocketIE.
I just change the GDI setting myself, and drop the same file in the windows directory, and the fonts directory.
I only bother to mention this, because quite awhile back I was using the fonts only directory, and ran into issues, not implying that everyone will have the same issues.
I imagine if you just did the filename changing, you wouldnt even need the registry hacks too, good pointing that out, I never figured out that one, and went around and around at one time looking for a date plugin that used the font specified in the registry.

Windows Fonts Inquiry: Clarified

I checked the Fonts folder under \Windows and did not see any. I would like to change the clock font to that of an LCD screen/alarm clock. I believe I have found where to change that in registry but I'm wondering if I can just drop some fonts from my PC onto the phone and just go.
*This one, really really really, didn't need to be moved. One could have posted a link to the Clock thread. I would have appreciated that. There is, however, another question here related to fonts in general on the phone. I searched, couldn't find. However, if you know a thread, by all means move this one there.
For the second time, don't be so quick to just move the thread.

You shouldn't have to change anything in your registry, regarding your clock font. Just drag and drop a font file (.ttf) from your PC to the \Windows folder itself. Don't worry about placing anything in the "Fonts" folder. You'll need to edit the .cpr (also located in the \Windows folder) and replace the current clock font with the name of the LCD font.
EDIT: Make sure you rename the font to have "zz" at the beginning (ex. Tahoma = zztahoma.ttf). That way, your clock font won't be used to everything else in your phone. If you don't do this, you'll notice your Internet Explorer and Opera Mini browser (if you have it) will use the same font as your clock.

Thanks for clarifying that. I haven't changed the home screen that defaults when one installs Kavana's ROM. I've modified it and added panels with CHome Configurator though. Would you happen to know the name of the .cpr file I'd need to edit?
Edit: DERP! That'd be the CHome_320x240.cpr file wouldn't it?

I guess that is dash/excalibur specific, because I installed the zarmalite.ttf on my blackjack, and it took over operamini and some(but not all) of my mortscript options pages. Since it started with "z", I thought it would be alright, but I ended up having to remove the font completely. Also, my clock font never changed at all, even after editing the cpr with the new font.

Same thing happens to me, after a lot of tries, I gave up on the idea of changing the font.

Really??? That's strange. I'd think that this would work for any Windows Mobile device. Try this... Transfer over Tahoma (or another font similar to Segoe) to your device just like you did ArmaliteRifle. Rename it "aatahoma.ttf" so that Opera Mini and PIE will pick it up. Let me know how it goes, showaco.
EDIT: Also, it is IMPERATIVE that you name everything correctly. Double-click the ArmaliteRifle font file on your PC. Whatever name is listed needs to be what you place in the .cpr file. Place that particular name in the Font Family section of the clock area. It sounds like this might be why your phone picked up the font, but not your clock.

What's with the Windows\Fonts folder?

Hi all.
Okay, I come from a PC development background, and the windows fonts folder is pretty straight-forward. You put a font in there and it is "installed" and becomes one of the fonts in any application that lists them.
The folder on Windows Mobile is empty though, and putting things in there has unusual effects!
I recently installed a lockscreen mod that someone made for WVGA devices, and it looked very nice. The problem was that it used a specific font, and doesn't work as well without it. So, the dev linked the font and I downloaded it and put it in the windows\fonts folder, as common sense would dictate. (The font is called lcars.ttf, btw.)
This font then started showing up in other applications though. One of the versions of the facebook app used it, and IE started to use it too. This is why I'm a bit "uhhh?" at the idea of the windows fonts folder on PPC.
I'm guessing that the apps that had problems were not using specifically named fonts, but as to why they defaulted to just "whatever's in that folder" is beyond me!
Can anyone explain that strange behaviour and, better still, suggest a fix for it?

I don't know why the fonts folder acts like this, but this has been the behavior since PPC2000 days. Instead, just copy the font to the \Windows folder. It will still be selectable AND other applications won't default to using it.

Cheers mate - I'll give that a go.

Font Help

Hello,
I can get regular fonts into zooper, however these other fonts i have downloaded i can't get to work because the keys aren't assigned like regular ttf fonts it seems. It comes with like css files and a bunch of other files where i think the icons in the font are assigned to different things, but i have no idea if this is even possible to get into zooper. The pictures i included are what is included with the font.

You need to open the index.html file to check which character is assigned to which key. If its a-z keys you just use those letters in zooper to display corresponding character. If there are codes instead (like &#e001; etc) you could make an iconset to display your characters OR if you have the font svg files (in your screenshot) you can upload them to an iconfont generator site like Icomoon and assign your own keys, at least that's how I do it.

[Q]How to modify fonts in confluence skin, can't locate

Hi, I want to be able to change the fonts in the confluence skin. Using ES explorer and looking into the hidden files I cannot locate where that location is on the ftv file structure. (ie /sdcard/Android/data/xbmc/files/.xbmc/media/fonts, isn't there)
My intention is to get a larger font similar to the new one Kodi offers but in Arial then figure out a way to push that into the ftv. Any wiz out there please help.

Kodi has forums : http://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=125

Hi dumb question maybe not the right place to ask
I have a confluence pulsar skin and un like the other skins I use I cannot figure out how to change a menu item name as easily as other skins give you that option this one does not so if I misspelled a word while adding a addon on a skin I have to re add it all over again, same if I want to change the font color. Am I missing something? Ive tried looking it up in different locations seems no one has the same problem, Im running a Jarvis 16.1 rooted Fire TV, Thanks and sorry in advance if I did not post in right place Im not very good with forums.
