I'm planning to flash a font on my g2.
I was wondering, does the flashed font replaces out-of-box original font?
or does it replaces every font on the g2?
or does it get added to the font menu??
files that are included in the zip are
DroidSans
DroidSans -Bold
DroidSansKorean
DroidSansKorean-Bold
i'm very confused.. someone help meh
anyone ?

I used rom toolbox. I went into settings on phone changed font to anything but robots. Picked font on rom toolbox, downloaded. Then restart phone, go back into settings and now pick robots. The font you downloaded will be applied under the robots name. Then restart phone again and new font will be everywhere. Works great

I've tried custom android font switcher..tried flashing fonts.. still new to the ATRIX. So question is how do you guys change the fonts.
Sent from my dual core beast..ATRIX
get root, and replace fonts in the /system/fonts folder. rename them to the stock names that are already in there (and i suggest backing up the existing ones)
Try "rom toolbox" hit up the market.. u can install lots of different fonts from there l

I've used "font changer" from the market and had no problems.
With that said, others have tried it and reported errors. Might be a custom ROM issue IDK?...

Is changing the font a particularly invasive procedure?
I run CM 7.1 Stable and tried using ROM Toolbox to change fonts over the weekend and things got all kinds of screwy. After testing the first few fonts I started having massive force close issues with various programs. Then I ended up boot looping and had to reinstall my saved ROM backup to get things working again.
Are there different qualities in font managers out there?
Is there a way to use ROM Toolbox wrong?
Can anyone pointing me application to change ubuntu font...

Try iFont from Play, that may work.
Don't use ROM toolbox or any other font changing app. They will give u boot loops.
First make a nandroid backup.
Download your font and make sure its the same style as the one you want to replace (normal, bold, italic). It also must be ttf, not otf.
Then using a root file manager go to system/fonts and delete the font that you want to replace. Then paste the downloaded font into the directory and change its name to the font that it will be replacing (ex: Roboto-Regular.ttf)
Change its permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.

First things first, YOU'RE DOING A FABULOUS JOB. Keep up the good work :good:
Now coming to my doubt, Can we use the same above mentioned method to change the font style in the STOCK ROM & KERNEL?
If no then please guide how can I change the font style? I prefer not to use third party applications.

Just go here, and download the font packs of your choice. Then boot into a custom recovery and flash. This works fine on stock rom & kernel, but you need root and a custom recovery.

Too good
I have AOKP rom. iFont works but it changes ALL the fonts.
Is there an app which only changes the fonts I want to change?
If I need to root, that's fine. Is there an app in the Play store that will do this? I see quite a few Font Installer apps, but I know that not all of them work correctly on different phones and OEM rom's.
On my Nexus 4 I had a Roboto Light zip file that just told the system to use Roboto Light (as opposed to actually overwriting fonts). Can the same method be used on this phone?
Thanks!

I use Font installer by JRummy. Has tons of fonts to choose from. Have to be rooted. The weird thing about it is, that when you find a font u like, and install it, the phone will reboot, and the font will look the same as it was. You have to go into settings/display/font type, and if u look at roboto, it changes that one to the one u installed. Just choose roboto, and it will be the font u downloaded with the app....
Great, thanks! Is there an easy way to undo this if I want?

I use Font Installer on my VZW G2, and it works fine. Using the Comic font as we speak. Not sure why you're having issues with it. Using rooted Clean Rom if it matters.
