I tried those fonts from that app in the market, the free one Link. The thing is some of the fonts make the celsius value of the accuweather widget to move out of the widget area. It is a good app. Has a lot of variety of fonts but in my opinion maybe the fonts were not selected for galaxy s2.
There should be a simpler way of just getting the font that we want on the phone select font>select size. done.
i looked through the root folders today but only found the droid fonts and not those i installed from the fontomizer app. All i can find are the apks. Can someone suggest a location.

Yes.

I got the Helvetica Neue flipfont to work on the Note 3 without any issues. Looks gorgeous, in my opinion.

Try some of the fonts found in this search: ["Free Font Apps" "Galaxy S4" "4-font"]
(Copy and paste everything in the brackets)
We are working on releasing more fonts compatible with the S4 and Note 3.
Let me know if you have any issues and if you would like to see any particular styles in the future.
Free Font Apps

They only thing I've found to work is an app called iFont that downloads the fonts you want then you just set it.

I aware iFont works ... but the resources suck up a lot of memory ... anyone know what is the actual issue on free flipfont not working on 4.3 ?

You can find the font Switcher for 4.2+ devices here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monotype.android.font.pack.switcher
In order to set the font you must first set your phone's font to one of the pre-installed fonts other than the default font. Then try using the Switcher to set the font.
The other option you have is to try some of our other fonts that are compatible with 4.2.2
Please use the button in the Switcher app to find these apps. *Here are a few examples:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monotype.android.font.pack.handsome
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monotype.android.font.pack.simple
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monotype.android.font.pack.scroll
Finf compatible fonts via font switcher then select font via system font selector
Let me know if it works.

[Q] Change Horrible Stock Arabic Font on Note 3

Hello folks, my first post here so bear with me.
Is it possible to change the default/stock Arabic font that comes with the Note 3? I moved over to the Note from an iPhone 4S and the Note totally outdoes the iPhone - apart from the Arabic font. I can't stand the Arabic font on the Note. Is it possible to change it without changing the English font?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Of course you can, you have to be rooted though, all you need is to
1- pick any font you like (not all arabic fonts work well on JB 4.3)
2- rename it to GS45_Arab_AndroidOS
3- copy the new font to your SD Card
4- using any root explorer, navigate to root/system/fonts, find the font named GS45_Arab_AndroidOS and replace it with the one on your SD Card
5- restart your phone and you are done
It is highly recommended to back up the old font in case you wanted to get it back.

Thank you for your reply.
But I think I need to make clear that I am an absolute beginner with this phone, I just moved over from having an iPhone and am loving the Note, but I have no idea what a root explorer thingy is or anything of the sort?
I was able to download a different Arabic font and it was fine but the problem is that when I choose it, it also changes the English font to something I don't like, so that's no good. I want to change the stock Arabic font and still be able to choose whatever font I want for English, does that make sense? I think I've become too fussy since moving over from the iPhone.
So how do I go about doing this? What root program am I supposed to use? I heard that affects the warranty but I'm not fussed about that since I can't remember the last time I ever used a warranty for anything. How does rooting affect the phone though, will it still update ok etc?
Apologies for all the questions.

Rooting will give you full control over your device, it is something like jailbreaking for ios, for more information, search xda forums about how to root your galaxy note, there are more than satisfying how tos, hope you luck.

Ok, will do.
But just a question about the Arabic font thing, like I said at the moment when I choose an English font it will force the Arabic stock font to be used, and if I choose one of the Arabic fonts which I just downloaded it will force an English font to be used which I don't like. Is it not possible to choose an Arabic font and a different English one without having to go through rooting or do I have no choice but to root?

I went through this dilemma too and couldn't find a solution untill I rooted my device, however, you can keep searching for a font app that does what you want, or take the much shorter way and root ur device.

Oh man, looks like it's gonna have to be a root then, I hope I don't end up bricking my phone.
Since you've been through the same dilemma, could you tell me which Arabic fonts you're using? What are the best ones out there?

I tried a lot of fonts, unfortunately most of them do not go along with all the apps you get on your phone, some fonts are great but they show disconnected letters in certain apps (feedly, gmail for example), recently I am using a font called winsoft, it looks good and very readable. And most of all it's compatible with all the apps I have on my device.
Another one is yaqoot.

Thank you. Where can I find these fonts?

I don't think I'm going to be able to root it, cause all of the instructions I see are for Note 3 models that are in the States, like Verizon ones etc., I bought mine in Saudi and it has a different model number etc. O well.

Can't remeber exactly where I got them from, just dig in for the names in google and I'm sure you'll find them.
Regarding the root process, just go to settings, under general tab go to about device and find your device's model number and search for a root acording to it,
I believe your model number is SM-N900, just like mine

I stated that the problem is that when I use these apps they will change the Arabic font successfully but at the same time they change the English font to a crappy one, so I go from having a crap Arabic font to a nice one but then end up with a crap English font since it forces the English font to change too. I need to change the Arabic font only without altering the English font.

The Google Experience .....

I haven't seen anyone really mention this if someone had I apologize. In flashing and modding my Note 3i have discovered that KitKat 4.4 is a popular topic. We now have some of the apps to flash to our devices and now we have the actual stock Android launcher from KitKat 4.4!!!!!! The Google Experience Launcher is amazing by far the best stock launcher ever and one of the smoothest I have ever used also. I have been using it for a day and after set up I am currently using it as my daily. The only thing I really don't like is that you are unable to change the icons on the home screen and there are no native gestures implemented but no big deal. Now they have implemented some major changes the app drawer now contains only your apps, widgets have their own section, you can arrange and add more home screens. Google Now is actually completely incorporated into the launcher itself and the search bar is constantly listening for you to say Ok Google to start a search using voice commands through Google Now. There are 3 apk's you will have to install to make this work they are totally dependant upon each other so if one is missing it will not open or work. I will post a link for you so you can download and give it a try for yourself I hope you guys enjoy and remember I did not create this or have anything to do with it I am just sharing it. If you brick your device it's not my fault ...

Just a heads up that you'll need to go into Google Now's language settings and change them to English UK and then back to English US for the search function to not start crashing. I actually just left mine on English UK and haven't run into any issues.

I have installed all three apps but I Dont have the always listening feature working. Is there a certain order that they have to be installed in? Any other special dependencies that need to be met? I've done the process of searching and changing laguages but not always listening working. The search works but I have to hit the button and it doesn't say "Say OK Google" to search. Any ideas?

If everything is installed and you have the launcher working just say Google or Ok Google while on the homescreen there is no special order to install the apps
