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.

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

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

to change fonts using the Lg font selector, this should be the same for all L9 variants
-requires root and a file explorer
-go download some .ttf font files you like but make sure the font has capital, lowercase, and all other characters
(theres plenty of free fonts just search it)
-navigate to /system/fonts/ and backup the fonts your replacing by naming them [font_name].ttf.bak
or just cut/paste them into another folder
-replace HYSerif_Regular.ttf and HYSerif_Bold.ttf or HYTravel.ttf and HYTravel_Bold.ttf to replace the fonts in the Lg font selector
-replace Clockopia.ttf to replace the clock in the status bar and LGE_Dialfont.ttf to change the Phone app's font. these two will take effect no matter what font you have selected
-set permission for new fonts to -rw-r--r-- and reboot.
-go to settings, click display, and click font type to select your new font
I'm still trying to find which font controls the Lg lockscreen clock's font so if anyone finds that one let me know
or if anyone know how to revert to stock android lockscreen, the Lg one is starting to bug me

thnks buddy
The title says it all. I've been looking for 3 days and I can't figure out how to install a font so the built-in font chooser will recognize it. I have LG Smartworld installed and I can download and use fonts from there through the font chooser. Their selection is pretty limited though. I have also tried out the various apps (Fonter, iFont) and had unsatisfactory results. So which files go where to make this possible?
Edit: So this would seem to be the answer to my question. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3011006
Thanks to @Valsorim for the OP!
I am pretty sure you just place the font TTP file in SYSTEM>FONTS
You need to have access with some type of root file explorer app. Then set permissions to match other reboot and it should show up as an option in the fonts to choose from.
Have a great day! from my LG G3

I'm a little leary of that. For the fonts that are available in the settings menu, there are two files for each one in System/fonts. One is (Font Name)_Regular.ttf, the other is (Font Name)_Bold.ttf. I don't know if I rename the same file for each or if I should have separate bold and regular files. Another thing is that the files in System/font are big compared the .ttf files I extracted. The extracted files are between 80 and 120kb. The ones in the font picker are 800kb to 1.3mb. Seems like too big a difference. The last thing I noticed is that downloaded fonts from LG World don't show up in that location, only the stock fonts. Haven't found where the downloaded ones go yet.
