[Q] SGS5 - Windows Phone 7

I was just wondering if there's anyway I can change the signature font (I.e., mistral, arial, et al.), not the size of the font, in messaging?

The size is available when you go into the system/today/items and click options for the tdclock.
Now that's just raw size, the bmp for the font is in the windows folder, and there is no background bmp by default. But you can play around making other font bmp's for it to use as well as background bmps.

Ubuntu font workaround

When using Ubuntu font many users see rectangles in different places, that don’t belong there. They come from the .notdef character which in that very font has a rectangle shaped outline. This character appears when the font doesn’t contain a character for the codepoint requested. It seems like some apps use codepoints different from usual spacing characters to show empty room: e.g. with launcher pro in the app drawer long names are shortened with an ellipsis after which those squares appear. The reason why using other fonts doesn’t show these squares is, that some fonts only have an empty space at .notdef, so no outline appears. One can verify this by using the DroidSansNotdef.ttf which I attach. There I’ve only added an outline to the .notdef character and you’ll get the same behaviour as with the Ubuntu font.
UbuntuAndroidfix.ttf has an empty space in .notdef so it isn’t visible. Nevertheless, this is only a workaround for a bug that’s somewhere else.
Edit: As shown below, the real reason is missing U-FEFF in the font, so it is a font bug. Attached you find all four styles (Ubuntu regular, italic, bold and bold italic) with the added character.
20.4.12 — New version: added spacing characters U-2000—U-200F to fix some more box-char appearances.
Basically after searching a bit more i found this workaround: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16895848&postcount=269 It seems better. But thank you anyway!
Of course this is better, it’s not only a workaround, it’s a fix.
I attach a new version of the fixed font with the added glyph. At least the Droid Sans that I downloaded from Google webfonts (to be sure that I have the latest...) doesn’t contain it.
Edit: Attachment removed, new attachment in first post.
Yeah thats right. But which program do you use to edit the font?
I used the Font Creator and the output size of the font is 312kb (instead of 335kb of the original ubuntu font). Your font is about 680kb. I used the droidsans.ttf from ICS platform (v1.0 build 114) and it did contain the glyph
I use fontforge and I'm doing font design in my spare time. But I've never thought about file sizes. I'll have a look at it later.

Nice Have you made a font?
I'm working on EB Garamond, my main project. I can't post a link yet, but you'll find it easily via google.

h i like the font. Nice!
The font is really good!
I love Greek & Ancient Greek letters in your font (i like the curves) but italic Greek just isn't my type. I think it should be less space between some letters.
Great work
How to use it.. I am Kyrillos Rom v10.1..

I’ve found the reason for the bigger size. I’ve overseen to untick the old style kern table option. Now it’s only 273,4kb. I’ll upload it together with bold and italic.

Thank you! The italic is far away from ready, especially greek and cyrillic still need alot of work.

If you don’t want to reflash you can also use a font installer program like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer

Thanks so much for the fixed ubuntu font. Looks great on my Live with Walkman™. Can I make a request though?
I see the same box character on the attached font. Can you help me fix it like you did for the ubuntu font, please?
Thanks so much!

You’re welcome!
The thing about the squares is, they show up wherever a glyph is found which doesn’t have a representation in the font. So it depends on where you see the box character. With the fixed Ubuntu font for example you’ll see many boxes if you want it to display Vietnamese because it lacks a whole block of multiple accented characters which will be added in a later development stage. The Droid fonts you attached will fail for many more languages because it only contains the code points of ISO-8859-1 which is oriented at western european languages (it doesn’t even contain a Euro symbol). If that is the problem, the simple fix won’t help you, one would have to know which characters you are missing to do something about it.
The second problem is: what is the license of the fonts? There’s no licence information so it’s not clear if one may change anything about the font.
There’s an Android logo font which contains the FEFF character and many more (incl. greek and cyrillic): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3771562&postcount=86 — perhaps this helps.
Thanks to both of you guys!
I can't remember which site I downloaded the font from but its really clean compared to the android logo font so I liked it.
New version as reaction on more box-sightings in the Kyrillos Rom thread. In fact the character U-2009 (thin space) was missing. I added the whole block of (non)spacing characters from U-2000 up to U-200F.
Non-vietnamese UI-elements should hardly show boxes again.

They are already present in the font. If you look at the specimen (https://github.com/georgd/EB-Garamond/blob/master/specimen/Specimen.pdf?raw=true) on p.3 you find a czech example that shows all three of them (at least in lowercase).

Just out of curiousity, what exactly is it that you're looking for? Changing the font of an outgoing email or just the display font on your device?
if it's the first: Not really a good idea. You can never be sure the device/user you're sending the email to has the appropriate font on his system. Unless Windows Phone is sending emails in html (I am not sure, does it?) it's not even possible. Plain Text emails can not really contain that metadata, can they?
If it's the second: I doubt that will ever happen. Windows Phones distinctive font is the Segoe WP font. MS will most likely never let us allow to modify the font of a built in app, much less the whole system.
The first one! I want to change the font of the outgoing email, the default font is ugly! I understand the problem about the font, but there isn't an option for plain text so...

[Q] How Themer is built?

Hi
I am curious on how a theme is built using Themer, correct me if I am wrong. In a very basic way, here is the way a theme is put together
1 - create wallpapers in Photoshop, at the right size and res, with all the info, icons shapes, you name it. This create a static image.
2 - Using Zooper Pro one places hot spots where we want something to happen,: open mail, show weather, numbers of miss calls, etc......
Is that OK , did I missed something?

Hi, that is more or less correct.
Many new themes use a standard wallpaper so that users will have the option to change it without affecting the theme's appearance (such as text won't disappear).
Any one of Themer's built-in widgets can be used, not just Zooper, but you're correct in saying that hotspots are assigned to specific actions.
Lastly, icons can always be added if the designer wishes
Anything else you'd like to know?

Doesn't really matter, it's all completely up to you. We do recommend using a high-res wallpaper though if other users wanted to apply the theme, and they're using a 1080p resolution device.

I already have it. I'm actually looking for the exact one. Anyway thanks buddy.
This has probably been answered elsewhere, but the Lollipop logo font is simply called 'and'. It has two typefaces, light and black. It was made bay a company called A2type specifically for Google. It's license makes it non-redistributable but it can be extracted from the Androidify apk under framework/res/fonts.
Unfortunately, the font is not available as a standard ttf to be installed as a system font on Android. and-light is available only as an .otf. and-black on the other hand is a ttf font which can be installed on Android, but both font typefaces suffer from an extreme vertical offset that causes text to be off center or cut off throughout the interface. In order to make the font usable, someone would pretty much have to copy the glyphs onto a new font with proper spacing in order for it to look correct, which would be a considerable undertaking. Which really is a shame, because and is a very attractive font and would make the perfect compliment to the new Lollipop UI.

Update:
Well, if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. I took the liberty of "fixing" this font, and I created light, regular, bold and italic typefaces. Enjoy!!!
Note, there are a few bugs that occurred from the conversion process which I will fix as I find time.
Download the font here:

UPDATE 5/2/15
I've fixed quite a few errors like the trailing e at the end of words, the percent sign and various alternate characters showing up in the place of certain punctuations.

Did you only fix the Light version?
