PROBLEM - not for major languages (English, ...)
Hey Guys,
since my Mobile Shell is not english version and windows environment neither, I had a problem with some characters when using Diamond Theme.
I solved it by updating font files:
neue helvetica 55 roman.ttf
neue helvetica 35 thin.ttf
neue helvetica 57 condensed.ttf
It is now updated with Czech characters, but more can be easily added.
For installing these new ones simply copy them to Windows\Font\ directory on your PPC.
If you already have older version of these files, windows might not permit you to overwrite it (especially when SPB is running). So try renaming old files to whatever you like (windows should permit that) and then copy the new ones.
You can delete the old renamed files aftter a restart, which is required for the changes to take effect anyways.
If you wanna some more characters in other languages, just post a reply, I will go by soon and may add them too.
OR
If anyone wants a short guide how to add the character by himself.
Dave

Yes office word shows new font but I wanted to read web based mails in that font using pocket IE. Is there a way to do that? What plugin is needed for PIE so that it can use many fonts to display text?
I say YES!
but u need to change system font to achive this
First of all i suppose you want to install Segoe UI font as your default system font.
1. Copy segoeui related ttf files from your pc to your pocket pc in /windows/fonts/ directory.
2. Open registry editor (Resco Registry or PHM registry editor or total commander what ever)
3. Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SysFnt\ and here edit the value in Nm DWORD to Segoe UI (it might be Nina (in case of WM2002, 2003) or Tahoma (in case of WM2003SE, WM5/6/6.1). just dont care about any thing wrong )
Copy this Nm DWORD Value to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\POPFnt\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\BARFnt\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\OOM\OOMFnt\
Overwrite if prompted
Now close registry editor. Stop all running programs from your task manager or from Memory control. Reboot your device. and then tell me if u get it working
thats it........
You r welcome in my inbox for help
Hmmm..That's interesting
Thanks dark_prince ;
I hope that way works good;

" Copy this Nm DWORD Value to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\POPFnt\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\BARFnt\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\OOM\OOMFnt\ "
=
you mean to edit the value in Nm DWORD to Segoe UI (the same as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SysFnt\ ) ?
Another thing, in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ there isn't System\OOM\OOMFnt\ .. but only System\OOM .
Best regards,
-Yasser-
well just find the OOMFnt key in HKLM. that wud be fine. Remember to put your font name as correct and Case sensitive
any more thing u all want ????
just ask. I am lurkin around to share what i know

This does not solve my problem. I wan to keep "Tahoma" as my default font but I want my IE to read Tahoma and one more font which appears on my web mails. How can I do that?
just change the DWORD Nm Values to Tahoma and all would be fine
IMHO, WM2k3SE, 5, 6, 6.1 by default come with Tahoma
registry settings is for Default Windows Mobile Font. Rest fonts must be just put in to \Windows\Fonts\ Directory. Internet Explorer will pick them automatically if th website requires
use this application to change ur system font easily. this application will do the necessary changes in registry automatically.

1. I added Hindi fonts (mangal) to FONTS directory in window. still IE could not recognize those fonts.
2. I changed the system fonts as suggested above, then every character on phone became square square unreadble, except when I opened, I noticed that all message in english became unreadable whereas hindi fonts were readable.
This is not what we desire, I wanted system to remain same, using Tahoma fonts but IE to recognize Hindi fonts in addition to Tahoma fonts cause my web google mails contain english as well hindi messages.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you do not want to write Chinese on your phone then you can:
1) Download a chinese TTF format font file to your phone. Find one msyh.tff from your Windows PC \Windows\font folder. Copy the ttf file to your phone \Windows
2) Add following values to your registry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink
Name="Courier New" value="\Windows\MSYH.ttf,MSYH" datatype="string"
name="Tahoma" value="\Windows\MSYH.ttf,MSYH" datatype="string"
name="Helvetica Neue OTS" value="\Windows\MSYH.ttf,MSYH" datatype="string"
name="HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin" value="\Windows\MSYH.ttf,MSYH" datatype="string"
name="HelveticaNeue LT 55 Roman" value="\Windows\MSYH.ttf,MSYH"
3) Soft reset your phone.
Do not use the chinese font cab file on the internet which may cause outlook and other application not work.
You can use this cab to install A4 input for typing Chinese. It does not come with Chinese font.

Many thanks! This tweak works perfectly on my HD2 and my Manila Contact stop giving me [][] anymore. I think it will also do for other machines with Manila 3D 3.0 customROM.

I'm trying to replace with Tahoma and Tahoma Bold fonts in the ROM I use with versions that support the full set of unicode characters.
However, I can't find a way to overwrite the existing fonts as it won't let me delete them or rename them. I've also tried creating a cab, but it says I don't have permission to install it.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks
Same question, is there a cab that can do that? I'm trying to change my font to Helvetica is it possible
Have you seen this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=635891
However Those cabs don't seem to change my softkey or top right digital clock fonts.
I have tried to install the default fonts from that thread, but it said I did not have permission.
Perhaps I'll try one of the other fonts and see if that works.
Simple instructions:
Copy DroidSansFallBack.ttf to the \windows folder
Edit the registry
Reboot
[HKLM/Software/Microsoft/FontLink/SystemLink]
Tahoma = \windows\DroidSansFallback.ttf,Droid Sans Fallback
[HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT]
Nm =Tahoma (this is a string)
[HKLM/System/GDI]
FontLinkMethods = 1 (this is a dword)
Then it's clean and done, no need for ****ty software, working everywhere.
I use it for Korean and Japanese, works for all the languages supported by Android in standard.
The font is small, quite complete and nice.
Link to the font: http://uploaded.to/file/7i321y
I spent 2 days to get it working properly so I wanted to share
Is there a list of supported languages somewhere?
Don't know, I know that at least European languages and CJK are working.
