Diamond Font

I was wondering if anyone knew what font htc used for the Diamond......not the system font...more like the marketing font is the best i could explain it....
i have been altering images and it would be so much easier if i knew what font was used

Dunno what you are talking about seriously.. you are adding text in your pics?
Ok.. default font used on WM is Tahoma if I remember correctly. To have more fonts for document editing, you first need..errmm.. fonts. You should be able to copy what ever fonts you want from your Windows c:\Windows\Fonts folder. Just copy and paste what ever fonts you want to your PPC Windows\Fonts folder.
No for example if you open up a document, under Menu >> Font.. you should be able to see the new fonts you just placed in your device.

i am not talking about the system font....but the font used in the touch diamond ads.....
like the font used on the initial splash screen of the diamond

It's not a perfect match, but Etelka Light Pro with width stretched to ~125% is a close match, and you probably won't notice any difference at small font sizes.
There are still some key differences (such as rounded tops of the M, and other differences seen in the Touch 3G and MAX 4G logos). It's highly possible HTC is using an in-house custom font that is not publicly available, or are using a font similar to Etelka but specially modified for their product logos.
If you want to find other fonts that are similar, check out WhatTheFont which lets you upload an image of a logo and will scan for similar fonts.

Thank you so much.....i figured this post would get lost

Not to hijkak, but what about the font type used on screens like the dialer? Numbers and letters?
I was actually hoping this is what the original question was asking, but I see now it wasn't :/

Different weights of Helvetica Neue font family. A few specific fonts in the family I can idenfity are:
- Helvetica Neue 55, used in the dialer
- Helvetica Neue 35, used on the main page and in the upper titles of TF3D.
- Helvetica Neue 67 or 77, used in the original flip clock (lighter variations, like 57 or 47 are used in other clocks like Sprint or AT&T).

[Q] Possible to change font color in HTC IME?

Is it possible to change the color font in the keys of HTC keyboard?
I want to change it from black to white.

yes it is possible
Wich sip???
the way i know is for default sip and... is to make again the whole theme jiji Maybe EZinput is the same thing

I'm changing EzInput 2.1.xxxx.xxxx theme,but i want to use black keys but the font of the letters is black and is not readable,so i watch if is possible to set it to white.
I don't interested to the default SIP that came with WM buillds...

Try to edit EZInputSettings.xml,there are some strings inside that target to colour fonts.

That xml is used to create the UI of sip settings not for keyboard layout.

you'd better follow the instructions from Merlin_reloaded in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334781&page=1

HOWTO: Change Default Font in WM6
I for one don't really like the default Tahoma font, so I thought I'd share how to change the default font.
Using the default Vista font "Segoe UI"
1. Copy your font file (usually *.ttf) into /Windows/Fonts. Be sure to note the INTERNAL name of the font (find it out by double-clicking on the file in Windows)
in this case "Segoe UI"
2. Using your favorite registry editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SysFnt
3. Find the key named "Nm". Replace what's in it (usually Tahoma) with the name of the font, in this case "Segoe UI"
4. Repeat III for "HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\Menufnt\Barfnt" and "Popfnt"
4.1 Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\V1
- look for something like FontAliases. The keys inside represent the font "choices" -you have (which default to Tahoma), and look like Arial:-12. Change the value -from Tahoma* to Segoe UI*.
- Rinse and repeat.
5. Reset
And that's it ! The Segoe font renders much more easier to the eyes with Cleartype (and the spacing is really nice)
Do post newer font faces that look nice on QVGA screens

Backed up and replaced stock font, lock screen clock colon is a rectangle?

I backed up and replaced the stock fonts from system/fonts. Replaced Roboto-bold, light, lightitalic, regular, thin, and thinitalic and renamed the new ones to the roboto names. All the fonts were replaced properly after rebooting except for the lock screen colon. In the clock app and the status bar, the colon appears without issues. I don't mind reflashing the rom, it's just the stock Lollipop font bugs the daylights out of me!

After checking several fonts, it seems to me that roboto-thin is responsible for the clock colon, try restoring just that one.
*edit* I realise that the font Roboto-Thin is for the whole clock but have found myself a solution.
I am using Font Installer from Play to change my fonts on a rom without theme engine and after working out that the lock clock is Roboto-Thin I decided to try edit the font. I opened my chosen font with "Font Creator" and saw that there was a character called "undefined" that was a rectangle. So I copied the colon and pasted it over the rectangle, so now any character that is considered undefined should be represented by a colon. I saved the edited font and installed it. It works! Though any other undefined character will now be a colon.
I guess another solution would be to compare the dimensions of the alternative font colon with that of Roboto-Thin and make it the same.

I've used FontForge (free font editor) for Windows and have to edit the 'Roboto-Light.ttf'... and i have pasted the colon sign at the 0xEE01 position and exported the font as TrueType and replaced the font file in /system/fonts.
Now, the big ugly square is 'repaired' ... Look at the screenshots.

You are a genius!
How could you find that it was that precise glyph which is the lockscreen colon?????
Anyhow, THANK YOU!!! :good:

Thank you so much for this exact unicode. I've been replacing .notdef unicode with the colon, but every glyph which isn't defined in a font will use colon I'm still trying to find out why some character arts like ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) render fine on stock font but custom font uses .notdef unicode. I searched for the individual unicodes in stock font, but they are empty just like in custom font. Could you please share your input on this?
PS: Sorry for resurrecting an old post :silly:

Thanks.! This saved me time trying to figure out which character to replace. I use fontforge on Linux and regenerated. So far so good, even though the font file is now nearly 100kb smaller now.

A little fontforge script that will:
- add the colon to 0xEE01
- scale the font (if your font is much larger or smaller than stock)
- convert the font to TrueType (if it's not one already).
Code:
#!/usr/bin/fontforge
i=1
while ( i<$argc )
Open($argv[i])
Select(0x003A)
Copy()
Select(0xEE01)
Paste()
SelectAll ()
Scale(100)
Generate($argv[i]:r + ".ttf")
i = i+1
endloop
Works on Linux, not sure if it'll work on Windows.
