In pocket putty fonts look like this:
As you can see, the spacing is too short and it makes text unreadable. I think it's a matter of rom i'm using (WM 6.1 Dvha79_ddt black&clean). I've already had 2 polish WM 6.0 roms and there was not such a problem, maybe the matter of system fonts? Language? Changing font style and size in putty setting doesn't solve it.
Greetings.

3-what is the average memory "left" to have the PPC work smoothly without any slowdown or crash

1. Changing font style is not so straight forward (I assume you want to change the font not just the size - size is changed in settings\system\screen) - find the font you want and rename it tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf and copy and paste into \windows directory on device using total commander or gsfinder file explorers, then soft reset.
You can also fiddle with the fonts with pocket tweak - enclosed
2. Media player skins - the skins are not software just files with images - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58398&highlight=
3. Dialers - try http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/ dialers are just images overwriting the default ones - so not really software.
p.s. when pocket tweak installs its found in settings not programs
thanks so much im going to have fun with my QTEK and skins
Help
I changed the font following your instruction but it seems just become messy LOL
I renamed the font i like and I used total commander to copy in windows....now the problem is the font I used cannot correctly shown on PPC and it seems to read Arabian....in addition dunno why the fonts affect only some menu not all im quite confused on whats going on
ok i fomratted and use Pocket tweak but it chages all the fonts Except the today screen...why?
thanks Giordano

lol - told you it was not easy - pocket tweak only changes some of the fonts so not good for total change. If you want everything in arabic - then you need to use an arabic rom. I had success changing tahoma font to georgia font using method described. Perhaps you will have to try a few different fonts to get a nice effect. Remember you will need normal and bold versions of the font to make the change.
Do you always have to use a third party program to change the font style in WM5??
What is the Font option in the Settings/System menu for??
I'm an O2 Xda Atom Life user and I'm using the ROM Xda_Atom_Life_WM6_CHT_RC2140907B2. I have a problem with the Windows Live Today plugin, 'cause the fonts are too large and they use a lot of space of the Today page. How can I change the size of fonts of this plugin? I have checked the registry but I could find no way to do so.
I don't know whether this only happens in the CHT Atom Life or not, so I decided to put the thread here...
Thanks if anyone has ideas with it.

HKLM/Control panel/Stylus>96DPI....Current Font...I have large fonts and set at 1100. For smaller fonts, set lower than 1100...soft reset.
Thanks a lot^^!
But this will change some of the font size of the system at the same time...
Anyway thanks for the solution!

The hack should affect homescreen fonts only. There are other hacks for the system fonts.
Change Font for whole system
How do you change font size for the whole system?

No, I found that some font size of the system programs is smaller after hacking, e.g. Message Centre, Windows Live, words in Office Mobile programs...
But never mind, I love the font size after changing...
I've also found that the option of "Settings==>System==>Screen==>Fonts Size" changed after hacking... It seems that the registry hacking is not really necessary...?

Read my thread" Words and sentences large enough to be seen and read easily" this forum. The thread has the tweak and screenshots to change the system fonts.
I've installed the blackstone volume control and keyboard, but the font is incorrect on both, they both show the courier font instead of the tahoma font. Does anyone know how to fix this problem. I'm using an o2 x1.
My number one request is to INCREASE the FONT SIZE of SMS messages in the TouchFlo 3D MESSAGES TAB.
It's a great tab but the font size is too small for my eyes to read.
I've tried MUN zoom but it doesn't work properly.
I've also searched hi and low for a way to edit but no one seems to know how.
A registry tweak would be best but I can't find an option in there.
PS. It used to be too big on Diamonds so they over compensated and made it too small on the HD. It might be 'just right' on the next touch phone HTC invents!
Have you tried changing the font size under Settings...System...Screen?
have you tried using HD tweak? that gives you an option to change the system font size as well as the messaging font size. i found the standard fonts too small. this one works fine.

Q. Are you sure you used 'HD Tweak' to change the font size?
I can't find this setting in HD Tweak 0.5.4 (latest v).
If so, Under which heading in HD Tweak is it?
If not, which tweaking app did you use?

Yes, but this doesn't effect TouchFlo 'Messages Tab' SMS font size.
I too would like to know if this is possible. I cant see anything in Tweak HD that works.
This is also something I would like to know, the font is simply too small for such a big screen. I know Duttys Diamond Roms had the zoom feature but nothing on the HD so far...
me too ...
the font size is too small ...
and then ...
i fond in here ManilaMods from mun_rus (powered by D-MAN)_upd.09/11/08
it works on HD ...
so...
Thanks heaps...Have you tried it on the new Manilla (v3)?
i would like to know if this is possible as well thanks/
In SETTINGS - PERSONALISATION there is an option to change the font size. No matter what I set it to it won´t change...I can see it change in the preview section when I move the slider from very small to very big but that´s all.
A friend of mine has a Leo too and on his device it works perfectly. When he changes the font size it affects some applications like the SMS font size...
My ROM Version is 1.48. Anyone an idea or does someone know the REG Key for changing the font size?
