As the title implies, how do i flash/install custom fonts into ACE??
just type in market 'fonts' and you'll see e.g. fontomizer app - basically you can install font as app (.apk). no need for root etc.
Just download any font from the already created onces, check this thread for fonts
Install the fonts and then go to settings---> display---> fonts and select the font u have installed and restart the phone.
your font will be there wen u restart.
I have tried many and most of them work pretty fine on ace.
The 'Font Changer (root)' app also works wonders. Store all your TTF fonts in a folder, and the app can set any of the font as a system font. Very useful.
I've seen some posts regarding how to change fonts in ICS, and I've tried some tutorials out there that didn’t work on the amaze, so here's what has worked for me, even though some apps say that bootloops will happen on ICS, try the following, after you make a backup
1. Download your ttf file(s), and put it in an accessible folder/location on either internal/external SD.
2. Go to es file, root explorer etc. and go to system/fonts
3. For all four roboto fonts, set permissions to RWX RWX RWX
4. Download font changer from market (green F with 2 gears behind the letter)
5. in font changer, tap the advanced tab, and scroll down to the roboto fonts
6. If you only have the one font, then set each roboto font to that one ttf file. If you have a font with a replacement for each type, bold, italic etc. then replace each one with its respectful font. Just find its location that you set when you installed your font on your SD.
7. Don't reboot when font changer asks you, change all your fonts first, then restart with the power button.
If all went well, your phone will restart and your new font will replace roboto. Now, the only other thing that I would add to this is that when you load a new font and if you restored font changer, I've found that when you open the app and scroll down to roboto in the advanced tab, you'll see that each one has the directory set to your new font, but it still shows roboto. So, what I've done to fix that is you have to go through the whole operation again, but change your directory for your new font. An easy way I do that is if I have my new font in my internal SD, I just put it in my external SD, so I can find it easy, but still change its location, and then just do the same as before just pick your new font in the new directory.
This has always worked for me, so hopefully it'll work for you too
Linking this in the bible thread neowww.
Thank you will try

Ok since the flip fonts from the play store do not work properly... I looked around and found a way to get the flip fonts to work... I take no credit for any of the work shared in this thread... I'm just making it easy by putting some links in one spot... Must be rooted to give iFont permission to change the font... :highfive: Thank zsig in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252268&page=4 for his explination...

Ok, I managed to install custom fonts on my phone.
Here's how to:
1) Install the app iFont from the play store
2) Run the app (it should create a folder on your files) and then close it
3) Download font apk of your choice
4) Using a file manager place your custom font .apk file on the root of the iFont folder
5) Run iFont again, select the "Local" tab. Your font should be there. Select it and tap "Set".
The app may require you to reboot your phone. When you do, it's done.

Download and Thank Winb33 in this thread for his Powerfont apk... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176490
You can use search and find other flipfont apk's for download...
I recently downloaded HTC Hand Font from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230721
But I found that this is only the original font, without the styles Bold, Italic and Bold-Italic. So I created them using FontForge and decided to share them with you. Credits go to @kylepont for the original font and for giving me permission for sharing!
For installation download Font Installer from Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer&hl=de
Be sure to select the right styles of the fonts you want to replace in Preferences -> Select Fonts to avoid booting loops! Enjoy!
Important: This is not a flashable zip, but only the needed ttf files! Keep that in mind!
There is now a flashable zip of these fonts available at a dedicated fonts thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438194
There just search for HTC Hand. It's working great!
Credits go to @gianton for making the flashable zip!

You need to select all the fonts which are not bold, italic or bold-italic before installing the original one. Then, for installing the other ones, select the fonts with the same styles.

The ROG phone 2 supports flipfont, and with zFont you can generate custom fonts from ttf files.
Start by picking your file.
Locate to "Local" and click on the file icon.
Here's the tricky part, select "Samsung"
Only "Kikat and below" and "Lolipop" option will work, as others will not generate flipfont
Install the apk and profit
Imgur with all the steps
This should also work with any other devices that uses flipfont
I've linked my google sans font below for reference.
Hit Thanks if this helped

the attached APK google sans worked..
otherwise flipfont didn't work.
z font will allow install and is able to change in the setting ( system font setting) but no difference what so ever. I guess the fonts have to be converted or something and then one can install flawlessly. Which brings me to my question .. how to make the fonts user ready?

-ROG II 512 version with WW rom...
-Flip font got stuck in the loading screen.
-I downloaded some fonts with the zfonts app and got some fonts installed.
-Font manager I guess would be the one in the Phone settings?
-The downloaded fonts from the zfont show in the phone font setting but there are barely any changes.
I did download the attached Google sans serif APK which directly installed in the phone font setting.
When applied it worked Great.

I hv ROG 2 128 GB variant with WW Rom
Zfonts worked for me. I will tell u how
1. After downloading the desired font or installing custom ttf font file which u hv downloaded from the elsewhere (from zfont app), select the samsung option while setting.
2. After selecting Samsung option, select "kitkat and below" or lollipop - 5.0 & 5.1.1 (i hv selected kitkat and below)
3. Install the apk after seleting any of the either option and bang?????
Check out ur font manager under display tab. There u will find the font which u hv selected the zfont app.
Also the google sans apk that is provided in this thread works as good as zfont.
Moreover i hv installed XDA POWER FONTS. That gave me soo many fonts to change it every day. lol..
((LUV U ASUS FOR PROVIDING SUCH DECENT FONT MANAGER))
All of these r working as fine as hell.

ONE UI CUSTOM FONTS
Samsung One UI using zFont 3
GUIDE AND TROUBLESHOOTER
Google Fonts
LAST EDIT ON MAY 14, 2023
1) Download and install the official Samsung Sans system font from the Galaxy Store. This is the non-modified version for creating the initial backup. Once installed, manually change your system font to Samsung Sans from Display > Font Settings.
2) In Samsung Cloud, create a backup of only the settings while your font is set to Samsung Sans. The first two steps only need to be done once for all subsequent custom fonts.
3) Uninstall or update over the old Samsung Sans font with the new custom zFont Samsung Sans font file which contains the font you want to change to. This uses the same package name (com.monotype.android.font.samsungsans) as the official font to trick cloud into thinking it's legit. GOOGLE FONTS has a huge open source selection of fonts that can be downloaded in TTF format.
NOTE: There's also an option to use other fonts in zFont instead of Samsung Sans, but if you choose those, you'll have to create a new backup with the official version of that font selected.
4) Change your system font to "Default".
NOTE: Your custom font should be present within your font list after installation. When updating custom fonts, it might appear as if the correct font is already selected but your new font won't actually become active until you refresh it by unselecting and reselecting the font which requires the Samsung Cloud workaround since you can't select a modified font manually from the font menu or you'll get an error.
5) In Samsung Cloud, select the option to restore. Uncheck all options except "Settings" to restore only the settings that you backed up in step #2. While it's restoring, you'll see the text on the screen update to your target custom font prior to reaching 100% complete if it's successful. Once the restoration is finished, you'll get a dialog popup asking if you want to delete old backups, select the NO response so the backup can be used for future fonts.
6) Verify your font changed from "Default" to Samsung Sans or whatever custom font option you selected. Font settings are usually located in the device's Display settings. Once verified, restart your device.
NOTE: Not all text will be replaced with your updated font until after a system reboot. Verify your font was automatically changed to the new font from Default prior to rebooting. If it failed to update, continue to the troubleshooting steps below to verify system applications.
Subsequent Updates: To update your font while a backup of the device settings is already created (with the correct font file selected per step #2), just update custom font file, change font to default, restore settings, restart device (or just start at step #3). No need to create a new backup unless the original backup is lost.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Samsung Cloud custom font workaround will not work if you debloated your system applications. Samsung Cloud relies on several pre-installed applications to restore all settings back to its former backed up state, especially font since it seems like getting the font to restore is the toughest setting to fix if debloated. I'm not sure 100% exactly which applications affect this, but I've confirmed that it's only Samsung Apps.MUST BE INSTALLED AND ENABLED

CONCLUSIONNot sure which ones exactly it needs but you don't need to rebloat every single application. I do know it's several of the preloaded Samsung packages. All the applications listed are related to Samsung Cloud one way or another. They must be INSTALLED and ENABLED! If I end up narrowing the list down further, I'll update this list of required applications.
