Changing Fonts

Here's my question, I'd like to switch out the fonts in the Rom I'm using is the Bowtie from Nebula (loving it by the way). I'd just like to switch fonts is all. What would I need to do. I read a few post a while back in some other threads that to use metamorph but the apply says for advanced users. I don't think I'm on advanced level yet but I would still like to learn.

Metamorph is really easy to use.
Download the free version from the market, once its installed you can download a zip with fonts in it then just apply the don't you want to use.
EDIT:
Search the threads for (metamorph changing fonts on the fly) and there is a zip file you can download there to use with metamorph.

You can also flash this (attached) through Clockwork. What I do is, open up this zip (use program 7zip, if you don't already, on your computer),
Take any font, rename it to DroidSans.ttf or DroidSans-Bold.ttf.. etc, copy and replace any fonts inside this zip, then flash.
Or, you can just check out the mother of all xda font threads: 200 Flashable Font Packs
I think ComfortAA (the attached one) is still my fav though.

You guys rock! I asked a question and you guys answered quick and perfect. I'm gonna try these out. Thank you thank you thank you! People like you guys and this community make my phone The Shizznit!

ComfortAA is my current favorite as well. I use root explorer to copy the DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf files on my sd card and paste them over the default files in the system/font folder. When I restart the phone, my font is there.

I bought Root System Font installer from the market. Over 200 fonts, you can preview the font and its easy.

How to Make Font Packs that Work with ICS (including bold and bold-italic variants)

Main thread: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15077-ho...-ics-including-bold-and-bold-italic-variants/
If you're into theming, you may have replaced Roboto-Regular with a different font, but noticed that Gingerbread-friendly font packs that replace Roboto-Bold.ttf usually cause ICS to bootloop. Tools like Font Installer and FontChanger are cool (props to the devs) but kind of a drag because they don't replace the Bold/Italic/Bold Italic versions of the fonts. The reason is because ICS pays attention to the font metadata in ways that Gingerbread does not, and many fonts don't have the correct weight/classification/family metadata.
To make a working font pack you must edit the metadata of the Bold, Italic and Bold-Italic fonts themselves to reflect their proper weight and design. Note: these instructions are for making font packs for AOSP builds of ICS. These are not for MIUI!
Disclaimer: follow these instructions and use my font packs at your own risk! I've tested them myself, but I cannot be held responsible for anything that happens as a result of following these instructions or flashing my font packs! Do you feel me?
I suppose you could use a different app, but I used FontCreator 6.0 Pro, so this guide is for FC6P.
Open the font in FC6P.
Go to Format > Settings.
Under the Classification tab, make sure the weight is correct (Normal (Regular) for Regular and Italic, Bold for Bold and Bold Italic).
Make sure the Font Design (Windows) and Mac Style are correct (Regular for Regular, Bold for Bold, Italic for Italic, Bold AND Italic for Bold Italic).
Click OK.
Go to Format > Naming.
Make sure all the fonts you want to use use the same Font Family ("Roboto" in the case of Roboto, etc).
Make sure Full Font Name and Postscript Name are correct ("Roboto Regular" for Roboto Regular, etc., "Roboto-Regular" etc. for Postscript Name)
Click OK.
PRO TIP: While you're here, clear out the glyph for .notdef. It's ugly and will show up in your launcher and potentially other places if the name of your homescreen item gets abbreviated.
Save the font.
Once you've done the above for each font, add the fonts to a folder called "fonts" and put that inside a folder called "system".
Put the "system" folder in the same folder as your META-INF folder (use an updater-script made for ICS).
Zip up the META-INF and system folders into a normal ZIP file.
Flash the zip using ClockworkMod or ROM Manager.
Profit!
And here is one font pack to get you started, my personal favourite, Nokia Pure, with the custom bold/italic/bold italic fonts I made myself: Now I'm going to get some sleep. UPDATED ZIP 2/4/2012:
FontPack-ICS-NokiaPure-ThugEsquire.zip
If you like this, hit Thanks!
I can do the work for you if you provide the font files necessary. If you do request a font pack, please consider making a small donation. I accept donations via Serve, Dwolla and Amazon Payments.

Phone Dialer Fonts
Does anyone know how to change the fonts in the Phone Dialer? I've tried several different things but was unsuccessful and I followed every link in this thread and some do mention changing the dialer font but only for HTC phones. They didn't talk about how to do for ICS.
I also think it would just top it all off and make my phone perfect if I could change the 4G/3G/1x and battery % numbers in the status bar to match my current font but I have a feeling these probably work different than the fonts everywhere else in the system like maybe they use .png images or something. Am I right?
Also, getting the Android Clock in the lockscreen to match my current font would be cool. In this I was successful by taking the modified Roboto-Regular.ttf file and copying and then renaming it to AndroidClock.ttf and then replacing it...or was it Clockopia?? Idk, I tried them one at a time until I got it to work but just can't remember which one it is.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me!

I think your right about clocktopia for lock screen.
dialer buttons are in the phone.apk
3g/4g/1x are in the systemui.apk
battery should be in systemui but if not then framework (depends on rom/phone)
all are pngs.

awesome! Nokiapure, like it.

Will it work with JB?

I am able to use Segoe UI as interface font by using modified system-font.xml in /etc and put the fonts into /system/fonts folder.
Root access is required of course.

Hello,
I was wondering if you would be able to make a flashable pack for both of the fonts that I have attached in the zip file.
one is Patronne and the other is rosemary.
I have tried using the eval version of fontcreator but it refuses to let me save any changes in trial mode. I was able to get something done with the patronne where i could replace all of the 4 files but it still wouldnt bold the patronne font. It would appear in the font just wouldnt bold itself..
If you could work your magic on these two fonts I would greatly appreciate it. They are my favorite two to use.

theme is perfect but any how how to make in this theme black status bar when i use apps ?? i dont like this green

nice theme.ty. tested clean 01 and found some bugs, but this clean2.0 is just fine. i will post if i find something that i think needs improvement

This theme (clean2) is very nice indeed, I have just a minor remarks.
1. Green notification bar looks just weird, transparent (or black) status (notif) bar would be much better.
2. Stock calendar app is not themed.
3. Sure, it is a matter of taste, but I dont like those icons (and yes, iconset can be changed, I know
4. As was already mentioned, status bar icons do not change. Then it would be even better.

Nice theme, only the status bar green colour is not much pretty (transparent would be better), and please theme the stock calendar.

Thank you but....why green colour? omg

Love it, thanks!

Look at my first post and download themes

If you want to change the status bar color (from the green color to black, for example), you have to do this:
1. download the theme to your PC and change the extension from .hwt to .zip
2. extract the file and find "com.android.systemui". This file is an archive and you can extract it (if you are using Ubuntu. Under Windows, probably you have to add the .zip extension (just rename the file as "com.android.systemui.zip" - without quotes). extract that file and you will find one folder called "res" and one file called theme.xml
3. Edit theme.xml with xml editor (notepad++ or gedit under Ubuntu)
4. find the "system_bar_background_opaque" line and change the ff value from ff2b9193 to ff000000 (it is a code for the black color, you can choose what color you like). save the file
5. make a .zip archive from the "res" folder and edited "theme.xml" called "com.android.systemui". Make sure, the file has not the .zip extension.
6. replace the original "com.android.systemui" with the new "com.android.systemui" in the directory created in step 2. I personally also edited description.xml and changed the name of the theme (to avoid the duplicity of the themes with the same name).
7. from all that files make a .zip archive (for example "P6_3.0.zip"). Finally, rename that file to P6_3.0.hwt (just rename the extension) and copy it to your phone in the HWThemes.
8. apply the theme.
This method has worked for me, now I have a black status bar.

In case someone has the same problem, you can download an app from Google play called "Font reset theme for emui".
Download, apply the new theme and select the desired theme.
