I can change font easily on Samsung devices, without root. Can I do so on Nexus 7?
Hmm...no one??
anyone???
No, you can only change the font size.
Samsung added "FlipFont" to the Android framework that allows you to change the font via a simple setting.
On "normal" Androids you have to replace the actual font files, and yes you can only do that with root access.

I want to know how to change system font w/wo root.
Is there anyone to know?
I assume w/wo means with or without.
With root, you can replace /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf. You can use same ttf for both files but both have to be replaced.

Thanks. So I have to root it to do. How about without root? I had a galaxy tab and there is font option on display, so I can just install .apk file for new font. Any easy way?

I have it in my Froyo phone as well but there is no display-> fonts setting in HC. Root seems to be the only way to change fonts at this time.
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
hit 'thanks' if i helped you

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
To my chosen font. Only some of the apps accept my chosen one.
Thanks
You need root access to change your device fonts.
with root access you can set/apply any ttf fonts.

Yes, I have root. Then where do I get the font files to replace the stock font files in /system?

Simple search on Play Store will find font changing apps, but from what you want not every app will change to the new system fonts when applied.
I've not yet found any way to change the fonts so that every app will change to the new system fonts applied. Some apps must have the fonts in the app and will not change.
Cheers

I know there's a way to do it. I just need instructions.

Find your faorite font here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/fonts-flashable-zips-t3219827 download and flash Via TWRP
I found a free app that does the job. It's called iFont and its what I've used on multiple devices (Nexus 6P, LG G3) for well over a year now. It has a garbage UI and ads and it's probably granting itself (and China) power of attorney over all your financial assets but it does two things very well:
1) Browse and download a ton of different fonts from within the app
2) Install/backup/restore the font
It's a better selection of fonts than I've seen in any other app or on the web itself. The file it downloads is an .APK that you can just manually extract to grab the .TFF file inside if you'd like. With Xposed, supposedly it lets you do per-app fonts and also color but haven't tested that. On some phones like the S3 and S4 apparently you dont even need root or to reboot to make it work in some capacity.

Why not use substratum + TypeFace app from the Store? Not even reboot is necessary. And with the app mentioned you can make substratum theme with ANY font you find on web.
ROM Toolbox makes it simple to change font systemwide.

Are there any ways to change the font with or without rooting?
Hi guys, there's a way to add new fonts in the font list in settings on rooted oxygenos? I've seen that all the 2 fonts are stored system/fonts, anyone tried to add something else?
Sounds like a good idea of this is possible without root
Not in the system folder. Maybe through an app that stores them on the internal storage.
But making them an option in the settings needs some programing knowledge.
Maybe overwriting the OnePlus slate font files, we can have one our favorite font to choose instead of the OnePlus slate

Can this be done without overwriting the system fonts. I have used fontfix and it replaced my system font Roboto. I have also tried placing fonts in /system/fonts directory, but the font changer in settings doesn't detect this new font.
