I know you have to be rooted to change the font, I used absolute system tools. But I'm waiting on a permanent root for my evo so for now I want to change the font without being rooted is there anyway? And if your here to be a douche and or patrol this please exit is the back key <¬

Hello,
i finally got my HTC hero back to live
so now i've rooted again using Universal Androot
and going to replace fonts and do other testing and learning to develop
whats next? i believe i need to root the recovery/bootloader so it doesn't give me signature verification failed?
and for fonts i can just put the font that supports Arabic with the name of all fonts?
DroidSerif-Bold.ttf
DroidSerif-Regular.ttf
DroidSerif-Italic.ttf
DroidSansMono.ttf
DroidSansFallback.ttf
DroidSerif-BoldItalic.ttf
DroidSans-Bold.ttf
Clockopia.ttf
DroidSans.ttf
or something will blow out if i overwrite them with another font ?

I think you have to flash an unlocked SPL? This should allow you to use non-signed ZIP files. There is an article on the forums about it, with links to the necessary files. Just do a quick search for "unlocked SPL", just make sure it is for you phone and not a different one.
Hello is there a way to make fonts a little bigger I dont see gmail. Other roms have use bigger font option but this no.
thanks for help
Yeah, I'm wondering too?
you can install font installer from the market if your rooted, not 100% about making bigger though I'll need to double check
Already tried font installer but doesnt work even with rooted rom.
Try to install devtools then set bigger font.

I dont know how to use devtools but I've tried font chanfer and dpi changer programs with no luck. I'm on .67 Rom with root permissions.
Thanks
Try Big font app from Market.
Solved with big fonts from market, thaks you all for help, now my Xps is quite perfect!!!!
I installed BigFonts but only fonts in apps make bigger. I want to make look bigger the fonts of app names in menu.

I am facing same issue after replacing a new font in my xperia s and i finally managed to use fontforge to enlarge the fonts in the ttf file.
It sounds clumsy but i find this is the best way to resolve. Hope this gives you another view.

Use Root Explorer, go to /system/build.prop - open the file build.prop in text editor and you can edit the pixel density of the screen

The reason is because your rooted /system partition has less than adequate space for the new fonts to copy over. Some preroot images do not resize the partition properly, hence font programs will not be able to copy the fonts to the system properly (even manually). Some even report failure in installing / updating busybox.
So we all know that font changers wont work in ics .
after LOTS of digging i found these two pages and they work ok.

then read
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15077-how-to-make-font-packs-that-work-with-ics-including-bold-and-bold-italic-variants/
except its pain in the ass and sometimes i cant get my own font to work correctly from scratch
and here is a list of all the fonts
http://www.dafont.com/
My dilemma is
1- man its a painful procedure just to preview how they will look on my phone
2-i cant seem to build my own font in italic and bold correctly, i built morpheus which worked on inef deus 1.0 but no bold or italics
can any one guide me and show me where i can make this easier on ics
Update 1: Ok so i think i figured out how to just changed the regular font using any font from font installer aside from changing it completely successfully form the second forum link posted above. The bold and the italic and bold-italic is still the problem
here are my steps :
1- go to font installer
2-in preferences choose the select font option and choose ONLY roboto regular
3-install the font of your liking but DO NOT reboot phone yet
4-go to es explorer and make sure you have root enabled and go to system/fonts
5-choose all the roboto fonts and enable all permission
6-if you have go launcher like me go to preferences and select the regular roboto form system fonts
7-reboot
all the bold , italics will be the system font, every thing else will be your new font.
i used font installer from the market and it worked for me, although certain fonts will cause your phone to bootloop, alot of them do work.
utter failure
Yep font installer = boot loop and nandroid .
I even tried doing the roboto trick from the program its self then went to es explorer and changed permission to full which is essentially what i do manually if i get the font pack my self . still causes the system to hang and battery pull and hboot recovery is warranted.
on this forum someone mentioned only change roboto but ur fonts wont change. Do people no care that font can not be changed in ics ?
I just wanted to add to this, I was having issues with changing fonts as well, hanging up at the boot animation, and I followed the directions from the OP, and surprisingly it worked after, booted up and fonts were changed. But I went a step further and changed all fonts in font changer after I rebooted for the first time and now italic, bold etc were all successful. I have an amaze, but hopefully it might work with other devices as well
unfortunately
That resulted in a boot stuck , not even loop, on rezound. Luckily i Nandroid like a mofo
you change all your permissions for all fonts that you changed? Worked with clockopia too for my default clock.
no go
changed all the permissions , one by one , , still ended up stuck at HTC beats logo as usual .
Is this issue across the board with ICS? Or is it ICS firmware? I am stock rooted, and I want to try clean rom 4.5 but stay on GB firmware. Will it work?
Across
My feeling is that its across ICS. If you do google there are some rants about how font changers causes boot loops on phones with ics and some methods to change it .
I am still waiting on someone to come and tell me " ur a moron , here its how is its done "

bummer....as dorky as it sounds, font installer is one of the reasons I rooted lol
how can i get rid of "Opera mini is gathering your font information, please wait" in opera mini after changing a font? please help
When I was in ics I had no problem changing my fonts using Rom toolbox paid version. Not sure if free version can do it. I usually used dustimo font.
I had a question about changing the clock font that displays on the lock screen. I have a recently rooted Sprint S III. Does anyone know what the actual name of the font is? I'm pretty sure I've checked everything in system/fonts, but nothing seems to work. Font changer didn't seem to do anything either. I was going to try to move it manually, but I cannot find a file explorer that can change file permissions. Also, would chmod work for from terminal emulator to change permissions? Thanks in advance.
I know on earlier versions of Android you could change the font to whatever you want. Is it possible on Oreo? I'm using the H910 stock Oreo. Thank you.
Not that I'm aware of.
You could root and flash a font zip or use a font changer app to change the font system-wide but otherwise I don't know of a way to change the font for just the lock screen.
I use an app for system wide font changes and the text below the clock matches whatever I select. The app is font fix. If you just want to change the lock screen you're looking at editing services.jar.
