where can i get new fonts for my phone?
You can use any TTF font I believe. There is a thread on XDA (search for it) that has boatlaods of fonts. You can use Font Changer (market) to install them. I wouldn't flash them, just extract the .ttf from the zip and put it on your memory card and then use Font Changer to apply it. Don't let Font Changer restart the phone for you, it seems to hang on the TB.

ok thanks for the info. ill search xda and see what i come up with.
i tried downloading sony sketch onto Virus airborne rom but everytime i do it stop right away and doesn't flash.
has anyone successfully flashed a font using TWRP?
I haven't managed to flash a font but I do use a workaround.
Create a folder on your sd card named "Fonts" and download .ttf files straight onto your device.
Use font changer located here, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martino2k6.fontchangerlite, pick the font you want to use and reboot.
For some reason, not all .ttf fonts will be supported.
Better than nothing though.

you have to manual override if you want to use that font on your phone.....
using root explorer, navigate to system/fonts....replaced all Roboto fonts inside that folder with yours fonts choice....
remember to rename your fonts choice to Roboto (same as default) in order it to works....
make backup first incase there something wrong....

is there any body know how can fix the fonts that after restart phone dont replace that with the orginal font?

HTC implemented some sort of security to their newer devices where you cannot write to the system as the kernel will reset it.
What you can do is adb push the font in recovery, or make a flashable zip for the font and flash it in recovery.
Basic thing is any change to system, to make it work properly you need to do it at recovery level

Here is the stock fonts for my ROM which is a flashable zip.
What you can do is open it with an archiver (I use 7-zip), and replace it with all the fonts from your current ROM and name it as stock fonts (you need this if something goes wrong as not all fonts may work for your device).
Then make another one and put in all the fonts that you want to change and name it as modded fonts zip.
So flash the modded fonts zip and see how it goes.
If some fonts make your device stuck, reflash back your stock fonts zip.

Use Aroma File Manager from recovery to do the same copying you do when the phone is on. You have he link in DesX Index.

I found a way to defeat the write protection on other HTC devices. It might work on this one device too, if somebody wants to help, send me a pm.

hello babakhad, I have some question..
I see there's so many fonts on the Stock_fonts.zip, so I just have to delete it all and put only one font that i want to use? Only one .ttf file? If I only put one .ttf file, will the font in the lockscreen change too?
I tried installing a new flip font apk on the phone but it is not showing on the list of fonts to change it to. Is there something I am missing to get this to work? Thanks

Let me clarify:
You installed a font changing .apk, and can't find it in the system settings>display>font type?
If that is the case, it wouldn't show up there because the .apk you installed should be in your app drawer, you would use that app the change your fonts instead of the system menu.
Or you put a font .ttf/.otf in the system/font folder and it doesn't show in the list?
If it is this one, I have a bunch in that folder that don't show up in the list either, it seems it only picks the stock fonts to display.
If you have tried using the font changing .apk to change the font and it isn't working, my guess is because LG lets you choose between multiple fonts it isn't using the default Android system font name (I don't remember the name off the top of my head) but instead using one of the custom font names.
If you want to change it yourself, you could try to replace the font you currently have the settings set to in the system/font folder with one of your choice (rename the stock font with a .bak at the end and rename the new font the same name as the old font, then make sure it is the same font your settings are set to).
All this is just speculation though, LG may have implemented the custom fonts differently, but I know they are in that system/font folder, so I think it could work. This is assuming you are rooted of course.
does anyone have detailed information about showing custom fonts in native font menu
