[Q]How to install/flash custom fonts to ACE

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.

[Q] Changing fonts?

I just upgraded my rom to KH4 and i noticed the font had changed. Samsung had also added a font changing tool.
But my question is, how and where do I place fonts so that I can get that font tool to detect them and so that I can change to that font in the phone?
Fonts folder is
System/Fonts
jje
And I can use the fonts from my PC or?

these fonts are can be installed as apk's:

[Q] Installing new fonts

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

Using iFont but google keyboard not changing

What's up everyone. I'm rooted and used iFont to install Comfortta, which is my favorite font. All the the system fonts changed, but the font of the google keyboard I installed doesn't change. The font does change when I go through settings to change the font, but the one I want isn't there.
Can I just copy the ttf file and then have the Comfortta font available in the settings/display/fonts??? Where is that folders?? I've looked and can't seem to get it.

[Q] Fallback fonts not working on Android Oreo??

So I have a Redmi Note 4 with Cardinal-AOSP ROM based on Android 8.0 installed. Now I am trying to change font using TypeFace app on Play Store using root method. It is able to change font successfully but I get a weird ? on lockscreen in place of : (using slade 27px font, but happens with almost all non-roboto fonts). So I reverted back to Roboto font using flashable zip and the : was back. So I modified the zip containing original font files and just created a copy of each ttf file and renamed it to <filename>Fallback.ttf. In other words, I added Fallback font files to /system/fonts for each Roboto font. After flashing the zip, I tried applying another font using typeface but faced the same issue of ? character. Does anyone have any idea why I am facing this issue even when I have added Fallback font files?? Note that I already tried flashing the unsupported font file form here which I got from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/fonts-flashable-zips-t3219827 but it didn't solve anything.. I have also attached the modified zip file which I created by adding Fallback fonts..
