How to install additional fonts on the LG G2?

You can change the fonts on this phone but it doesn't seem to be as easy as it was with the Galaxy 3. I tried installing font APKs and also font apps but they don't show up. I also tried putting a fonts folder on the SD card but no luck. Anyone know how to add additional fonts?

I use Font Installer from the Play Store. Works great.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.

Well, I've tried installing a couple fonts on my rooted G2 with both iFont and Font Installer, but they don't show up. Any ideas?

There are lots of flashable fonts but be careful cause you cant revert back when you flash those fonts

After you install the font, you can go into settings>display>fonts and set the font to Roboto and it will show your custom font.
In Font Installer, you can also pick one of the other fonts from the list to install over, and keep doing that until you have a whole list of custom fonts in settings. They will still have the original names but if you look at the preview you can tell what font it is.

You're right, once I set Roboto, the custom font --helvetica neue --was applied. Now my phone has a bit of "Apple flavoring" to it

im using hebrew language as my default language.
the problem is that only the English language is changing.

[Q] changing font won't change the fonts on web browser..

so yeah,
I usually use iFont to change the font of my phone, it did work, and changed the basic font of my note 3,
yet, it still didn't change the font of any kind of web browser that I have.
how can I change that normal fonts?
I am rooted, and I have access on my sys folders.
please someone enlighten me to change that.

Afraid you wont be able to influence this, as the websites font are coded by the web devs themselves (html or php)
iFont does only change fonts of texts rendered on your device itself

replce the default system font with your own font in system fonts folder by any system browser as root explorer, done it with note 1

yeah I thought so,
but what are the default system font's name?
I saw bunch of the fonts in font folder.

I rename my custom font to : GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf
since this one is the default font for Arabic language , then I replce the one at system fonts folder (after backup)
be aware that with this method when you go later to change the font from settings , you will find that all other fonts options are disabered

Anyone tried changing DPI?

Using a file system manager I had a look at the build.prop. I found the DPI to be set at 240.
Has anyone tried a different DPI?

DPI Miui 8 (Epic Rom Plus)

Hi guys!
I need help, i've changed my dpi on my ROM but it looks like this.
Note: Look at the icons they have a little square at the topside

Restore the DPI back to normal, then change the DPI manually using build prop editor.
Add ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx in last line where xxx is your value. Reboot.
