[Q] Changing Fonts on Nexus S

Hi All,
I have an app on my HTC Desire called Font Changer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744363&highlight=font+changer) which changed my system fonts without needing FULL root access (i.e. S-OFF).
I have tried the app on my Nexus S, but it just FC's.
Has anyone discovered a way to change fonts on the Nexus S as Gingerbread has probably killed the previous method?
Thanks in advance!

I use font installer from the market

what rom are you using and how are you installing the font packs?

I'm running iced glacier 1.1 and I'm using Microsoft word fonts and save them to my SD card like they say to but don't know what I'm supposed to put in the files or how much to type I have been just typing the font name in the font style?????

The easiest way to change fonts is just flash a font pack in recovery. I have a thread in this section with a few flashable pack, and someone else posted a link to hundreds of them

Thanks ill Check it out on lunch break so I don't need font app?

This is the Font Thread. Just download the .zip and flash it from the Recovery image.

Font Changer Lite is working for me on Gridlock's (Option94 and teamsilence) CM7SRC build 46. It is also works on Zinx's previews. Make sure your .ttf files are in .font changer folder on sd card. Hope that helps.

How to change fonts?

I've tried custom android font switcher..tried flashing fonts.. still new to the ATRIX. So question is how do you guys change the fonts.
Sent from my dual core beast..ATRIX

get root, and replace fonts in the /system/fonts folder. rename them to the stock names that are already in there (and i suggest backing up the existing ones)

Try "rom toolbox" hit up the market.. u can install lots of different fonts from there l

I've used "font changer" from the market and had no problems.
With that said, others have tried it and reported errors. Might be a custom ROM issue IDK?...

Thanks bro that program is amazing i will keep it forever

Is changing the font a particularly invasive procedure?
I run CM 7.1 Stable and tried using ROM Toolbox to change fonts over the weekend and things got all kinds of screwy. After testing the first few fonts I started having massive force close issues with various programs. Then I ended up boot looping and had to reinstall my saved ROM backup to get things working again.
Are there different qualities in font managers out there?
Is there a way to use ROM Toolbox wrong?

[Q] Question about flashable fonts

I'm planning to flash a font on my g2.
I was wondering, does the flashed font replaces out-of-box original font?

files that are included in the zip are
DroidSans
DroidSans -Bold
DroidSansKorean
DroidSansKorean-Bold

I used rom toolbox. I went into settings on phone changed font to anything but robots. Picked font on rom toolbox, downloaded. Then restart phone, go back into settings and now pick robots. The font you downloaded will be applied under the robots name. Then restart phone again and new font will be everywhere. Works great
