Replacing Roboto with a different font family - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Currently I'm using a Motorola Defy with Android 4.1.2
I want to replace Roboto with an entire font family of my own.
This can't be done by using a font changer because the other fonts like Roboto Bold and Roboto Light are still there.

You can also use app called Rom Toolbox (it's on the Market). It has a feature "font installer". You can choose from many fonts and among them there is a roboto font. You have to have root to flash this font.

[Q]Flip Font Universal Font Change

Hi All,
I have two questions..
1)This is related to font changing in Samsung ROMS.. In Samsung ROMS, you can install a Flip Font as an Apk file and You can choose it in Settings -> Display -> Set Font/Font Style
My Question is even though it themes most of the fonts.. Somewhere here and there I still have the original font popping up.. But the weird thing is it keeps toggling from one font to the other(ex: Default and selected)
Is there any way that i can create a Flip Font that override all the fonts to have the same font globally..
2)This is related to JB Roms(AOKP to be precise).
I noticed that there are different Roboto Fonts in JB viz. Roboto Light, Roboto Condensed. So in order to change the fonts(again globally) Is it enough if i replace the Roboto normal package,DroidSans and clockopia?? or should I be replacing the Roboto Light, Roboto Condensed as well..
Does anyone know where the Light and condensed fonts be used??
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks in Advance

If you have ROOT access, Use ROOT capable font changer to change your font, it has more permissions.
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII

Yeah.. I have used font changers.. But they can do only so much.. They cannot replace Roboto Bold fonts because of metadata.. So in the end some places keep poking out in same old Roboto.. I need to change it completely.. Such that nowhere Roboto is there.. (No disrespect to Roboto, i do like it , but i feel there are much better fonts )

I did replace the Roboto Fonts and also Droid Sans as well(Cause it is used in some places).. But ended up in a boot loop
So I'm just wondering if Roboto Light and condensed are actually causing it..

have you tried restarting the phone after applying the changes? It may sound stupid but, it might work in some cases.
If not, then first try restarting the launcher*i dont think you can do that, but try it* If that doesn't work, then restart it.
If even that doesn't work, just adore whatever you have.
Anyone know where I can get Roboto Font? I'm looking on the Play Store and I can't seem to find any.

[Q] Replace system monospace font

Default monospace font Droid Sans Mono lacks bold and italic faces. Is it possible to replace it with the other full font family (DejaVu Sans Mono for example)?

Adding fonts to font manager?

Is it possible to add more fonts? Or at least bold etc to existing fonts?
The unofficial font changer for miui doesn't work anymore.
The only way to choose other fonts is to swap your region to India restart phone and use the fonts in the themes app of the pocophone which the font tab is exclusive only to india. Don't really expect much of it the default font is much better than the ones in there.
