Custom font in 'Dimmed' mode not rendering - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey
I've created a simple watch face with and am using a custom font.
On the main screen 'not dimmed' the font works fine.
When the screen dims, the font works for about a minute or so e.g.
If its 09.04 and changes to 09.05 soon after dimming its working fine, but after a minite or so, any digits that change no longer render.
E.g. if it changes from 09.05 to 09.06 then the changed digit doesn't render. In this case the 6. So the display just reads 09.0
It does redraw the screen as the clock is centred so moves the 3 digits into the centre, ot just doesn't display the last digit.
I've tried with a 2 different TTF and OTF fonts. Same on both.
If I don't set a font and use the standard it works fine all the time.
In using <textclock> to render the clock and setting the font in the oncreate using
Typeface type = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/filename.ttf");
textclock.setTypeface(type);
Is anyone using a custom font on a watch face and getting this
Or anyone have any ideas
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil I just downloaded your "simple" watchface from mypebblefaces and it's awesome! Thanks. Is there anyway now to make the font for the Date/Month a little bigger? Shortsighted here

Not resolved yet. Pls help.
arthurwork,
Thanks for your reply. I have alread have TD2 and now installed TD3. And in UI settings I have changed the default height and width from 800X700 tp 900X800.
Still it's same. the font is very small in my program screen, all settings screen.
After the installing TD3, only difference is the program has four icons in the row instead of three (even though Start Menu Icons per row is "3"). Now, I need to find out how to bring it back to 3 rows per row with the normal font size.
I have installed SIPchange.cab for defaulting the SPB keyboard and after that I am facing this font size issue. But unfourtunately I am not able to uninstall in SIPChange.cab. Whenver, I soft resetting the sipchange is running..i think this application is start running after every reboot. Do you have any idea what sip is for?
Please help to advice why the font/icon size is very small ONLY in All Settings, Programs.
Please help on this.
Can anyone help on this issue.
My screen is looking ugly with 4 rows and smaller font size. Don't know how to bring it back to the default one (3 rows with normal font size).
Tried with TD3/advanced config/ and no use.

Lock screen clock, not AOD clock change

Can we get a horizontal clock? I can only seem to adjust the AOD clock.
I applied a theme and it was horizontal for a while... a few hours later I look and its back to the vertical one. Anyone else notice this?
Hours and minutes are aligned vertically, if there are notifications.
It seem to be horizontal if you have any notifications. Once those are cleared, it goes back to vertical.
Here is a easy Solution
smarturl.it/samsung-s8-clock-chg
Takes less than 2 minutes costs nothing, does not revert back after notification or anything like that.
Horizontal clock is an option under AOD display settings. Look for clock style

Go to Settings...Lock screen and security...Information and FaceWidgets...Contact and Information. You can type in something here and it will show up underneath a horizontal clock. If you don't want anything to show up but still want the horizontal clock, just put in one space and no other text.
I've made a theme with horizontal clock on lock screen. This theme used stock icons and a colour is a little bit changed. Change wallpaper and change icons and thats all. But you can create this by yourself by samsung mobile theme editor wish i have later version. So in order to make horizontal clock in this editor you need to use not colour selection on tab lockscreen but images. And upload image of every digit 012345678: and thats all.

This is really the best proposal. I came here to get rid of this ugly clock on lock screen of my S8+. Thank you so much. No theme, nothing. :good:
Edit: does not work. The horizontal clock just showed up because there was a notification.
No dice on Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus for AT&T
Had a horizontal clock working for months using themes, but since the samsung update about a week ago it broke, there really should be a simple was to do this anyway, we shouldn't be looking for work arounds

How to change screen grid size?

Hi:
Just bought this one to my wife. However, there is something that's intriguing me: the screen grid is 5x5 instead of the traditional 4x4. An this is causing a few "bugs" on the appearance of some widgets she uses (Beautiful widget 4x1 and Jorte 2x2), like the text has overlapped letters, or the numbers of the clock on the beautiful widget are outside their place.
Any one knows a easy way to get back to the 4x4 (which i hope will solve this) ?
Change the screen resolution in display settings or set a custom one in developers options.
You can also try using Lawnchair launcher
Tried change the settings on the display settings, but no success. It keeps always the 5x5.
As for the developers options, it does not accept any number i try...it just reverts to the number it's there (currently 360).
Weird cuz i have mine set to 500dp
Confirmed that using display settings DOES change the scale on Oreo (Stable, final) 8.0.0

Problem changing default lockscreen clock font

Hi guys,
I really don't like the ugly Samsung font on the lockscreen, so I want to change it. I know it's stored as the font Clock2017(L/R).ttf, so I just replaced this font by one I want (any Roboto type will do).
After a reboot this seems to work ok, except for one thing. It doesn't show a 1 behind the colon properly. Instead it's a `. So 13:13 looks like 13:`3 I didn't check all possible combo's yet, but I think it's only happening to a 1 right behind the colon.
I tried to replace the clock font with different fonts (Roboto regular, Roboto numbers, AndroidClock), but everytime the same bug appears.
Does anyone know how to solve this annoying problem?
Thanks!
I can confirm it's only the 1 after the colon. If I select the clock type were minutes are shown below hours (so no colon), there is no problem...
Anyone?
