Looking for fonts for your devices guys? Then you don't need to google more. I already had this link long time back, when i had Wave 525. I used to change fonts and screenlocks a lot. Take a look for fonts, you can find really lot of fonts.
Link : http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts.html#Free%20Fonts
All will work in mostly all devices, since they need .ttf fonts. You can use apps like iFont or Myfont to switch fonts.
Important : Make sure you download medium size fonts, which can fit in your device. Don't go for really big and crazy fonts. Otherwise you will see some bugs in phone, like while playing video or on a call. Time won't appear fully in them.
So have fun guys, enjoy it. Some of you might already know this site. So don't mind. Just helping others who don't know. xD Thank you.
Great Collection of fonts.
Thanks mate.
Beware you just cant use all of that fonts listed in website to your phone. there is good chance after changing fonts you end up boot loops your phone will stuck at boot animation. if this happen then you can use my font rescue zip to revert bact to default roboto fonts. before applying any fonts please make nandroid backup also download font rescue zip file and store it to SD card so if you encounter any problem you can flash it straight. you can download zip file from this xda link in original post.

Thank you for adding this mate. He is right guys, make sure you use simple fonts. Not so fancy and big. All are not for phones. Take a look at fonts, you will find some good one. I used many in my old Wave 525. In my canvas HD they work fine too. But only simple one.

It's a thread on how to change your font on Android.
It's very simple to do, changes all the stock fonts, even things like dolphin browser.
Step 1.. goto market place and download FONT CHANGER LITE, (Free) , you have to be rooted.
Step 2.. Install
Step 3.. Permitt Superuser access
Step 4.. Run the program (it won't find any files)
Step 5.. set up a folder on Sd card called ".fontchanger" (has to have the .)
Step 6.. goto anyfont website that allows free downloading of fonts and download the Zip file
Step 7.. extract the zip to the ".fontchanger folder" making sure that the.ttf file is in that folder
Step 8.. Run Font changer lite.. it will now find your Font (.ttf), it will ask you to accept, then once you have done this the phone will have to reboot for the changes to take effect.
It is so cool.. you now can have ANY font you want as your android font
MY streak is now complete
The program automatically creates .fontchanger in SD card. You dont have to manually create it. Using Sony Sketch. Awesome font.
Thanks for that, but on my install it didn't create the folder.
Been downloading various fonts and experimenting with the look. You can get some crazy fonts lol

@Krad
how did you change your network icon colors?
I use absolute system root tool.
Lets you change font and boot ani if u want. Works on my streak
The one in the notification bar?
I downloaded framework-res.apk from system/framework
Then dragged and dropped graphics from some captivate roms frameworks via winrar.
Copied back to my phone to overwrite.
The other network icon is a launcherpro activity shortcut to wifi network selection.
My colors are messed up with screenshot app. You get the jist of the font from my screenshot.

I couldn't tell any difference from the screenshot, but on my streak, this font is crisper and a little more spread out than OEM font. My tired old eyes thank you also!!!
After 24 hrs. since installing this new font, I have noticed a complete stoppage of FC's during phone calls. My screen density is set at us180 DJ Steve's 1.6.1.
Labels seem to fit the phone buttons (when on a call) better. May be a coincidence, but it's working for me!
Used this to change the font on DJ's 1.7.0. Using the Armani too. Many thanks
Mate,
You have to update your instructions:
After installing font (in this case armani), must reboot byu pulling out battery.
<Mine, booted, no display...after pulling out battery, al is changed>
Thanks mate,
The font is replaced fine, but I use the reboot later option and then power the phone off/on with the power button. I got stuck when I used the reboot now button.
Hey guys, is it possible to change the tbolt font? With the OG Droid i was able to install a font.zip through rom manager without any issues but I am unsuccessful with the tbolt....
Thanks!
I use an app called Font Changer from the market. Its free, although there is a donate version. Just download the font you want (search "fonts" in the xda search bar and you shouldn't have any problems finding any), unzip it, and move it to the ".fontchanger" folder on your sd card. Then, open the Font Changer app and it should pull up all the fonts that you loaded. I didnt change the names if the fonts were already named, or changed the name for differentiation purposes, but this was merely for personal preference, as when you go into the app the fonts will show up as how they actually look. I moved all 3 files inside each font, but dont know for sure if you need all three. Hope this helps.
BTW, it will ask you to reboot, but always hit reboot later because it locks up when you have the app reboot it.
I use absolute system its like 99cents but does fonts bootanimations and ad blocker. Think it has a few other features but I don't use em.

I haven't tested these, but they install to the same location, so I don't see why they wouldn't work.

Gonna try a edify font now will report back.
Edify font scripts didn't take. Trying regular ones now
Edit: Nope
a lot of those fonts have been pulled due to infringement of some kind and that thread i believe doesn't get updated anymore.
if your looking for a certain font then thats where google comes to play. some fonts aren't able to be posted on the forums due to copyright. but im sure some searching will get you to what your looking for.
I hear font changer works but hangs and requires battery pull
If you don't have an Evo3d well ...
This flashable zip worked for me. Put the font files in the fonts folder of the zip and flash. Requires a little extra work on your part.
yeah font changer worked last night for me, it got hung up and I had to do a battery pull but the font changed. The flashable fonts don't work so take the files out of the zip and put them in the folder on the sd card that font changer says to.

What I have found to work REALLY awesome! not only for Fonts, but for boot animations, applications..etc.. its called Absolute System. You can look it up on google or market.. they have full versions avail in the usual places.. ;-)
Has anyone figured out how to use a bigger system font on this phone? I tried the older font zip from the OG but the install fails.
The higher resolution in the 3d is nice, but the tiny system font is a problem for me.
Copy the fonts in using root explorer and change permissions to match the others.
You could raise the dpi, I don't know what it would look like though. I tried changing the font using that same method myself and the phone crashes on boot up. I didn't change the permissions, I didn't think I had to.
Flash the single font file
Those of us that just recently started needed reading glasses can sympathize.
Download Font Changer from the Market. It's pretty idiot proof as it always allows a reinstall of the default system font if you screw things up. Has a great "preview" feature that lets you see just how big the fonts are to install. It doesn't specifically say the 3D is supported but I can confirm it works with a rooted ViperROM. I didn't need to do any of the renaming things either.
Good collection of free fonts from here. Just download them and unzip the .ttf files to the .fontchanger directory on the SD card.:
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/
Experimented with a few different fonts, a couple of the "bigger" fonts would be cut off on the bottom or top depending on what application I was in. I ended up settling with the Luxi-Sans font and am pretty happy with it. Don't need my glasses scrolling through my call directory anymore!
Here's the direct link to the Luxi-Sans font I'm using:

Hi, ther
My mother just got the new Samsung Galaxy S2, which is smaller font size. the SMS and contacts are quite small font.
Do you have any Rom or app with larger font size?
cheers!
hi,
I am over 35 and don't have a problem with reading the phone, maybe your mother need glasses.

Try the latest rom KI8 mate.
Its got a much bolder and clearer font
Search android market, you might find apps for resizing fonts there.

Oh. ..I'm 38, someone must have forgotten to tell me that I need a larger font on my S2 because I have*no* problems reading what's on the screen (and when apps have a user-selectable font size, I tend to pick the smallest available)
I just saw this on Android UK News if it helps http://www.androiduknewsetc.com/2011/10/16/big-launcher-ideal-for-those-with-poor-eyesight/

There are settings within messaging that define font display size! Should be the same with emails!
sent from t'internet
go into
settings>display>screen display>font style
to change the font. Selecting "get fonts online" will bring you to the market link for a samsung endorsed font switching app.
check out this thread for some .apk fonts.
its hard to tell which fonts will be the oversized ones, so youll just have to try it out.

Moving to Q&A
any program ??
still there is no progrma to make font bigger (in mms.apk ther is just extra small, small and normal) but still i need bigger font in whole phone any idea ?
Search Google Play. If you can't find an app that can do the job, CM9 has a toggle in accessibility settings where you can increase the font size by around 50%. Tho if you don't have experience flashing custom roms, I'm not sure I'd recommend you go down this path unless it's absolutely necessary.
If it is tho, might be something worth looking at ?
Edit to add - Also, not 100% sure on this, but you might also be able to change the DPI of the screen to achieve this as well. Perhaps someone who fiddles around with this might be able to confirm either way.
Edit to add more - I just did a Google search for "Google Play increase font size" & got results. That should be the first thing you do before you go down the CM9 route.
Font Size and Big Buttons Keyboard are both helpful .
