How to change fonts fast


You can do this from scratch or download the example

Click to view attachment

In the archive you will find a file called fonts.xml. you can open it to change the paths or you can leave it to default : /tpa/user/other/myfonts/font

What you have to do is change the paths to your location , then create some folders

For example , you want your fonts to be in card/other/myfonts/font

replace /tpa/preset/system/fonts/Sans-Serif_Europe_Bd.ttf with /card/other/myfonts/font/bold.ttf
- do this with regular , italic and bolditalic too

Here:

a normal font has 4 files - rename them to regular.ttf, bold.ttf , italic.ttf and bolditalic.ttf
and place them in your font folder

place the original fonts into the font folder and rename them to regular.ttf, bold.ttf , italic.ttf and bolditalic.ttf


For the font you want to change create a folder with the font's name (i use ps2font) and do the same

Whan you are done editing , upload fonts.xml to tpa/preset/system/fonts ( delete the original file first)

then , all you have to do is rename ps2font to font and restart your phone

Now :

Follow the images :

Go to card/other/myfonts and

doesnt work from my card but does work if the directory is /tpa/user/other/myfonts...

/usb/other/myfonts/... works great aswell bcoz i can just connect it via "Media Transfer" and change fonts and it stays in phone memory.
