[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!

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.

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?...

"font changer" works great

thanks guys, custom android font switcher started working, after like 4 tries, so im good atm, will check the other options out though.,.

How can I change my system font to Roboto Light?

If I need to root, that's fine. Is there an app in the Play store that will do this? I see quite a few Font Installer apps, but I know that not all of them work correctly on different phones and OEM rom's.
On my Nexus 4 I had a Roboto Light zip file that just told the system to use Roboto Light (as opposed to actually overwriting fonts). Can the same method be used on this phone?
Thanks!

I use Font installer by JRummy. Has tons of fonts to choose from. Have to be rooted. The weird thing about it is, that when you find a font u like, and install it, the phone will reboot, and the font will look the same as it was. You have to go into settings/display/font type, and if u look at roboto, it changes that one to the one u installed. Just choose roboto, and it will be the font u downloaded with the app....

Great, thanks! Is there an easy way to undo this if I want?

The app makes a backup of the stock font that can be restored .....

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

This worked for me. Maybe it's because I'm rooted?

I use Font Installer on my VZW G2, and it works fine. Using the Comic font as we speak. Not sure why you're having issues with it. Using rooted Clean Rom if it matters.
