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)

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 guys i really found another solution for the problem. the problem was that i wanted to change the font in the latest rom of the Darkside 4.0 to the default android font so i just replaced the font folder form version 3.3 into version 4.0 then i reflashed it and yaaaaaaaaay worked .

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?

Try iFont from Play, that may work.
Don't use ROM toolbox or any other font changing app. They will give u boot loops.
First make a nandroid backup.
Download your font and make sure its the same style as the one you want to replace (normal, bold, italic). It also must be ttf, not otf.
Then using a root file manager go to system/fonts and delete the font that you want to replace. Then paste the downloaded font into the directory and change its name to the font that it will be replacing (ex: Roboto-Regular.ttf)
Change its permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.

First things first, YOU'RE DOING A FABULOUS JOB. Keep up the good work :good:
Now coming to my doubt, Can we use the same above mentioned method to change the font style in the STOCK ROM & KERNEL?
If no then please guide how can I change the font style? I prefer not to use third party applications.

Just go here, and download the font packs of your choice. Then boot into a custom recovery and flash. This works fine on stock rom & kernel, but you need root and a custom recovery.

I have AOKP rom. iFont works but it changes ALL the fonts.
Is there an app which only changes the fonts I want to change?
Hey if someone could link me to theme chooser, that'd be awesome. I'm talking about the CM one. Also, what would be the necessary build.prop tweaks that would make it work?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I don't believe you would be able to get it to work without the CM framework and system files. It would take more than a simple build prop tweak to get it to work if at all. Unless you want to build CM from source you're only other option is to flash CM to use theme chooser.

You can extract the apk from a downloaded version of CM using 7zip if you really want the apk. You can install it but it won't do anything without the framework to support it. Some of the custom launchers have themes you can download from the playstore that might be an option for you if you want a new theme. I would browse in the theme section for advice.

Sorry I'm a noob but is there a way to incorporate the CM framework into my ROM? (Are you talking about framework-res.apk? If so, can I use that on the JWR ROMs?)

Its been over 2 years since I built or modified a ROM but its not as simple as just dragging and dropping framework-res and systemui versions you want into a ROM. There may be other custom ROM's out there with theme chooser if the dev used CM source to build his ROM but tehn why not just use CM? The easiest way I know of to theme a phone is to use a custom launcher and choose a theme off the play store or use an app like UCCW and again look for themes for it in the playstore. UCCW (ultimate custom clock widget) isn't the most user friendly app but it gets the job done. And make sure you back up your phone before making any changes using launchers or theme apps for if they modify systemui.apk or framework-res.apk in any way those changes can't be easily reversed. Always have a backup of your stock ROM.
I'm planning to flash a font on my g2.
I was wondering, does the flashed font replaces out-of-box original font?
or does it replaces every font on the g2?
or does it get added to the font menu??
files that are included in the zip are
DroidSans
DroidSans -Bold
DroidSansKorean
DroidSansKorean-Bold
i'm very confused.. someone help meh

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
