Font Changing Difference Between Font Installer and Samsung Default - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I dual boot AOKP and Sammy ROM
I found that in Sammy ROMs there is a default feature to change font from Display Options itself..
However since this is not present in AOKP, I use ROM tool box.. (or Font Installer and Font Changer).. But the thing is I'm not able to change Roboto Bold or any other Bold fonts.. It ends up in a boot loop..
Any one know how to replace the fonts...
Can the feature in Sammy ROM be ported to AOKP??? (Just curious )
Thanks in Advance

When you change the bold fonts, you have to follow the exact weight that's in the original bold font

Can you give like an example.. As to which font I can use that actually has a normal as well as Bold font?
And also my doubt is..
How does it work in Sammy ROMs.. So essentially in Sammy ROMs does that bean there is backup of both Bold and Normal Fonts somewhere while changing?

Change DPI on Stock roms

Is it possible to change the DPI on stock or Sammy based roms rooted or is this only possible on CM9 AOSP based roms. I would like to keep a Samsung based rom for all the unique apps Samsung have developed for the S3 but I cant get away with the huge icons and DPI. CM9 based looks so much better so I am torn between the two.
DPI can be changed in the build prop on rooted roms via rom explorer .
Or in a custom rom Samsung build .

in /system/ find build.prop
open in text editor
find this
ro.sf.lcd_density = ''
and change the digits to any of u like
dont forget, changing the dpi in sammy roms will have the usual probs like unscaled dialer and a poor theming for camera. setting the dpi too low will crash the stock launcher, so install a secondary launcher before starting

Just tested on my S3 with stock ROM + root and it works. Just as a note, you should have a keyboard other then the standard Samsung, it keeps freezing over and over until you change it to another one.

Hi,
I tried changing /system/build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density to 260, rebooted device and nothing happened.
I am using leaked 4.2.2. I double checked and build.prop really changed.
Can anyone help me with this?

for rooted phones, flash the xposed framework.. there app settings module (i think) enables DPI settings.. (you may need to search for the module..)
I tried to set dpi to 300 and it works very well on sammy 4.3 ML2 rom. Dialer looks weird as mentioned above, but I use pixelphone app and issue is solved for me.

Changing fonts on RR3.1.2 using 'Rom Tool Box' will not wrk for now ma8
Since changing font in JB is not the same as ICS anymore
I wouldn't use it at all. I tried it back when I was running GB (Miui) in 2011, had the same issue. Everytime I changed a font the phone bootlooped. And the dev wasn't particularly helpful either.

System Font - Roboto Condensed

First thing I do after I am able to flash a recovery and root a new phone is replace the ugly font! So I have used @Chromium 's tool and created a Roboto Condensed font pack that will replace all the fonts on the phone (yes I am aware that some of the fonts are already this font face). I have flashed this on my X using the CWM beta from the General forum and it worked like a charm so I figured I would drop it here in case others feel the same way. Enjoy!

If you backed up your font then you can restore it if not try finding stock font somewhere and installing
If you still cant find it then reflash the stock rom with flashtool, exclude data btw
Perhaps you can flash a stock based rom instead
Do you know the name of default fonts that comes with xperia z2

Need Fonts used in CM13. Mistakenly installed a custom font.

Have installed a custom font which I do not want to persist with, hence looking to get back to my default font on CM13 based custom ROM. If someone can provide me with the fonts or even name of the fonts I need to install to go back to default, I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance.
P.S : Is it Roboto ? Then I have that font.
just dirty flash the rom you'll get your fonts back.
Just go to themes app, select system (default) ,select fonts .... Done!
