[SOLVED] Flashable Font Packs - Won't Install - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have tried flashing several font packs from the following thread:
300 Flashable Font Packs - Change your system fonts the easy way!
None of them will flash using CWM, so I am assuming I am doing something wrong, or these won't flash to the Atrix. I am following the usual flash instructions as laid out in the thread:
"To use:
Just copy to sdcard and flash - these only change three files in the /system/fonts folder (effectively changing your main system fonts), so you can flash one on top of the other until you find one you like, but if you want to do a Nandroid backup first, that's ok too.
Notes:
Requires root. Should work on any Android phone, although you may run into issues if you're not using Amon Ra."
I have tried the edify font packs also. CWM does not complete the installation, or hangs forcing me to remove the battery.
I am on 4.1.83, GladiAtrix 3, Cool Blue 2.1, and using ADW Launcher EX. Can anybody explain why the font packs will not install, and/or how to install them if possible?
SOLVED:
Backup, Backup, Backup...............
I am not responsible for any damage you do to your phone following the instructions posted here!
This has been tested on my Atrix only, and is working on AT&T Atrix, 4.1.83 with GladiAtrix 3.
This will not flash a font pack for you. It is a more manual method I found through trial and error while attempting to change fonts myself.
Must be rooted!
1. Download Type Fresh Type Fresh from Market and install.
2. Download AndExplorer AndExplorer from Market and install.
3. Download any of the fonts you want from here -> Font Packs.
4. Unzip the font pack. The font .ttf files you need are in system/fonts of the extracted files. (DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf).
5. Rename the 2 files, e.g. for the Anna font pack I renamed the files to DroidSansAnna.ttf and DroidSansAnna-Bold.ttf.
6. Create a folder on your SDcard or ExtSDCard to put custom fonts into and copy the font files to that folder.
7. Use Type Fresh to first BACKUP your current font folder located at /system/fonts.
8. Make sure you have used Type Fresh to first BACKUP your current font folder located at /system/fonts.
9. Once again, make sure you have used Type Fresh to first BACKUP your current font folder located at /system/fonts.
10. Replace your fonts per the following: Type Fresh Video - Instructions
11. Reboot
12. Enjoy!
Note: You can use Type Fresh at anytime to restore the original fonts to /system/fonts.

The edify versions might have trouble mounting the /system folder. Look for this line:
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
in the META-INF/com/google/android/updater script file of the font installer and replace it with this;
mount("ext3", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12", "/system");
I haven't tried this but it might work.

Are you using the version on that thread or the edify version of the font installer?

I have tried both.
<edit>Thinking it could be the CWM version.

Bumping since I edited the last post instead of replying. Let me know if these work, I may want to start checking out some fonts.

That didn't work, (and it didn't brick! LOL). Install aborted again. Thanks though.

I see Amon Ra is mentioned in the post. Should I give this a try, only for fonts though?
<edit> (Device specific I am guessing, so would be a no)

---

Using Root Manager, could I just go to /system/fonts and rename DroidSans.ttf, DroidSans-Bold.ttf, and Clockopia.ttf to .bak files, then copy the 3 files with the same name from the font pack into /system/fonts. All files are in the system folder in the font pack.
<edit> OR could I rename the font pack files to another name, e.g. DroidSansCustom.ttf and drop them into /system/fonts? There are other files in there such as DroidSansHebrew.ttf.

Would the following work I wonder:

<edit> Instructions moved to OP.

Done ^^
This is a copy paste from a post I did in another thread:
Whipon said:
Well, it seems those CWM packages aren't compatible with the Atrix.
However I created my own package, and I successfully changed my font to Choco Cooky.
ChocoCooky CWM.
Here you can see how the font looks like.
Also I made one with the stock fonts, just in case:
Stock Fonts CWM.
If you don't like Choco Cooky, just download one pack from this thread, extract it, and replace the fonts in my CWM package with the ones you like.
Have fun ^^.
