Sure if you want to do it the easy way.
Not sure how I ended up here, but check out the link in my sig. Over 200 flashable fontpacks that should work on your device.

Can we adb push to /system/fonts ?
I think we have to be booted in recovery for this to work ?
Correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you.

I've done this using the app Typefresh. It has a thread in the Android software forum here at xda somewhere.
With root, you can replace the fonts, yes.. backup your old ones just in case!

I attempted this yesterday.
Mind giving a quick walkthrough ?
I basically did:
su
adb push "c:\fonts" /system/fonts
No joy- Got back adb can not be found ??
TYIA
The way I got this done is with Typefresh. There is a thread about this in here: Android Development and Hacking>Android Apps and Games>[APP]Type Fresh - change your fonts!
(Sorry, I can't post links yet. If someone else wants to repost it as a link, help yourselves.)
What I did was download a font (a Harry Potter font is not installed from the factory--heehee) and adb push it to /sdcard/Fonts. Then I opened Typefresh and click the font you want changed, in my case it was DroidSans.ttf, and it allows you to choose the font you want to change it to. I will note here that apparently some fonts do not work well and may result in a brick. DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DOING IT, YOU MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. Luckily, there is a fix for that now.
Anyway, thanks to openback for the app.
I forgot to mention that you also need to dl andexplorer to use this app. I personally did not have a root explorer hitherto so that was fine for me.
Now my question is, how can i change the font for the homescreen, or launcher pro in my case, but leave the browser's font stock?
how do I add fonts to the system folder?
Tried to paste century Gothic in there so my website displays properly on icinia tab a500
But file HD wouldn't let me
You need to be rooted first, then use some file manager that allows you to change the folder permission to R/W.

I think he wants to paste the font so he can view his website, not change the OS fonts.
yes that's right
keep system font as is
load missing font that my website needs to display correctly
Did the root and installed font to system folder
website still defaults to wrong font
any ideas?

are you s-off? you need to be to change system fonts from phone or app. I just rename the fonts I want to use to DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf copy and paste using a root file manager into system,font and reboot.
p.s clocktopia is your lockscreen clock font so renaming any font to Clocktopia.ttf and doing same as above will change clock lockscreen font.

if you are try it manually, the app should have downloaded the font to your sd card. find it and copy it to /system/font then rename it to overwrite the old ones and set permissions.
Alternatively, try a different font installer. i use absolute system tools and it works flawlessly on every rom i tried.

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
SYSTEM BACKUP REQUIRE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
----------------------------------------------------------------------- Move the THEME folder to system > media and change the THEME and THEMEINFO folder attibutes to 755 using your File Explorer (i 'm using Solid Explorer)
- Change the ZIP files attributes to 644 same for the rest of the files inside THEMEINFO folder
- REBOOT
Thanks once again...
I couldn't find the system folder. I guess I have to root it first.
Will try it once I root my phone.

Hey Guys ,
I know that there are ways to change font for rooted android ,
I tried Fixfont and ifont
However ifont shows error 7 when i change font and fixfont changes the font but only the basic fonts but others as clock , notification panel, status bar, launcher , etc there fonts are not changed any one can solve this issue...
Sorry for bad english
If your phone already rooted, you can change it manually using file explorer.
That's what I do with my phone.
Just navigate to system/fonts and replace all the files listed below to change the font including clock, notification panel, etc. Set the permission to rw-r-r
AndroidClock
DroidSans-Bold
DroidSans
Roboto-Black
Roboto-BlackItalic
Roboto-Bold
Roboto-BoldItalic
Roboto-Italic
Roboto-Light
Roboto-LightItalic
Roboto-Medium
Roboto-MediumItalic
Roboto-Regular
Roboto-Thin
Roboto-ThinItalic
RobotoCondensed-Bold
RobotoCondensed-BoldItalic
RobotoCondensed-Italic
RobotoCondensed-Light
RobotoCondensed-LightItalic
RobotoCondensed-Regular
Backup all your files and fonts first in case of something happens, and make sure the font weight are same before you trying to replace it. (i.e replace Roboto-Bold with Bold font).
I'm not responsible if your device bootloop or softbrick.

Sorry. Can't help you with that. But if bootloop I suggest you flash the stock firmware using MiFlash. Much easy.

I'm not sure. But you can try search from here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/fonts-flashable-zips-t2964304
Btw, all the previous font that I used doesn't have all the mentioned files. I just make a copy of the files with the same weight and renamed it. For example, Roboto-Bold, DroidSans-Bold, and RobotoCondensed-Bold is all the same files. Only with different name.
for rooted phone please try fonster app its working super fine, ifont throws some error 7. when changing the fonts.
