Download the fonts in the "download font" option that takes you to the Google Play Store.

@russcausier iFont is the best I've used.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kapp.ifont

I installed the following and was able to change the fonts with ease.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monotype.android.font.flipfont.develop.clean
Once installed go to settings/display/fonts/font style. I'm currently running Clean_Pennition. Gloria M Stone has released a lot of great font packs so you should be able to find something you like.

Thanks guys the ifont used to work on older galaxy but now says root, I'll try other one but have found one that works with galaxy called hifont in play store

I was able to use that same font pack with no trouble on my S5.
I would however like to use my own truetype font files. Found several ways to package them into an apk, which puts them in the font list with preview, but when I select one it says it's not supported. Same issue using the XDA POWER FONTS package (I didn't try all 650 of them though).
iFont worked with the font I tested (downloaded using the app) if you don't have root, it downloads an apk and installs it so you can choose it from the font style menu, but the functions to use your own font are only available in the pay version. I might have to try that. The free version lets you download up to 3 per day which is great if the ones you want are there.
EDIT: yes! that worked! Best $1.93 I've spent this week. The iFont donate version worked with my ttf font. I selected it, chose the create apk option, and went and installed the APK and was able to select my font in the menu.

MIUI change system fonts?

Any tool , reference how to change system fonts on MIUI?
Brgds,
S.
I had problems changing the fonts trough the theme manager, the new fonts didn't get applied.
I downloaded Font Changer from the Market and replaced the default Arial and Droid sans fonts with new fonts. Rebooted and that did the trick.
I don't know the reason but I think it may have been caused because the system used the droid sans fonts and theme manager only changed the default Arial fonts to the new ones. Anybody else had issues with changing fonts?

I also tried with font changer but cannot find any extra fonts ...
Where did you obtain new fonts ... i cannot find any
There's many places on the net you can find typefaces for font changer. They need to be .ttf format files. The font changer has information and help inside the app itself, look there...

Oh man.. Just use google, whatever works. Don't want to supply any direct links if there's any copyright issues and some. The MIUI.us forum has a whole thread on fonts and probably other MIUI forums too.
go to settings-personal-themes-edit theme-font-online font
and just download some new fonts there via MIUIs own online font selection

I tried this but seems that default fonts remains after applying new chosen fonts! Any ideas? I also tried to reboot after applying theme font but nothing happens.

I have a same problem with MIUIs font changer. The font seems to be stuck on default. And reboot, hot or cold, doesn't help.

Try the font changer application from market and replace the default arial AND droid sans fonts with the instructions provided in the application.. You can pull the font files from .mtz files by opening them on the computer with any package archiver.

I tried font changer but cannot put back default fonts after using it
I noticed too that resetting defaults didn't work. Here's a solution that worked for me.
Look with the file explorer in the sd card folder called 'fontchanger' and copy the backed up default fonts into the custom fonts selection and change with the application itself.

Have anyone figured a way to change the front WITHOUT additional apps, just using MIUIs built-it font changer? Since, well, we do have it already integrated to the ROM so no additional apps SHOULD be needed..

Problems with nexus 4 and font installer

i am using cm10.2 nightly and everytime i use font installer for changing the font i end up reseting my phone everytime. what should i do
Dont trust the font installers. Check out the font thread in my signature. All of the fonts there are complete packs, flashable, and are always tested before releasing. Just download the one of your choice, boot into recovery, flash, reboot. If you cant find the font that youre looking for, feel free to request one and I'll try to make it when i have some time

I am having the same issue. I can't find any fonts that will work with my Samsung Note 3.
I had the same problem. The way I got around it was to install iFont, then extract the TTFs from the APKs of the fonts I want, put them into /sdcard/ifont/custom/, install the one you want to use in the custom tab of iFont, then finally go to Fonts in Settings and your chosen font should be there with "(iFont)" affixed to the end.
When you change your font in iFont again be sure to change to the default font then back to the custom one in order to apply it.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I had to buy the donation version of iFont because I don't have root.
All of the flipfonts I downloaded says they're not compatible.

Ifont, you want ifont from the play store. No root needed on the n9005
iFont on the Play Store is now compatible with the Note 3, I have used it successfully many times now.

Yup, worked like a charm, tried setting a font, note3 rebooted and stuck in bootloop. awesome
for the root users - rom toolbox or font installer are able to install about any TTF font.
Thanks to all for suggesting iFont! This was annoying me, but now my N3 looks the way I want it to.
does anyone know the default font name for note 3? i changed it & now somehow not able to restore the detault font...

You can change the font style and font size on your device. To change the font settings, from the Home screen, touch Menu > Settings > Device > Font . Touch Font Style and choose Default font, Choco cooky, Cool jazz, Rosemary, or Samsung Sans. Touch Get fonts online to download new fonts from Samsung Apps.
Touch Font size and choose from Tiny up to Huge. When you select Huge, the font may be shown only in certain applications. In applications that cannot support Huge font size, Large font size will be used instead.
I installed iFont and tried to use Ubuntu font, and it says its not supported.

Help installing other fonts

Not too pleased with the stock font options.
I've tried a couple APKs, resulting in a load of incompatible fonts, and I'm hesitant to try the 3rd party apps and the flashback zips since we're not using full twrp out can.
Any suggestions? What do you use?
Thanks!

Font Installer from Google Play.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer
You can also install fonts from online and install them using this app. Right now I'm using Roboto Light Condensed. This app works great and is safe.
Doesn't require you to flash zips at all. It installs right from within the application.

Not too shabby, thanks for the share.
Curious why you can't simply add a bunch of fonts that are hot swappable.

Thread moved to Q&A.

LOOKING FOR A SPECIFIC FONT--anyone have a special interest in fonts?

I am really missing a font that I used on my s5 with a pack called Fonts for FlipFont 50 Written
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monotype.android.font.free.fifty.written
It was written Fonts 10. Several peeps complimented me on it, it was easily readable, and I used it for the past 4-5years. But now these font packages won't work on Nougat.
I did an online font search with a copy of the font, and found some similar, but not that actual one. I contacted the provider of this font pack, but not surprisingly they did not answer me.
I am wondering if anyone has suggestions in finding this font and then trying to figure a way to get it to work on my s8. It's like every available font I've found just doesn't cut it. I think I installed every monotype-imaging font I could find, but still nothing to be satisfied with. I'm using Helvetica Neue because it's clear, easy to read, but it's just not the same. :crying: Of all the customization that we can get, this is the one that I am truly having difficulty giving up.
My s5 crashed and so I can't print up a sample, but I might be able to find an old jpg of it, if that would help someone solve my problem.
Any suggestions (besides joining Fonts Anonymous)?!
Install the app from the store.
Pull apk from phone
Open apk with WinRAR
Your font is somewhere in there, but I'd give a go in /res.
Profit !
Yosemite SanFrancisco (iOS font)
I'm using Kabel which is nothing like what you're looking for but I like it. It does seem though, the only fonts we can install are pay ones. There is an app called foundation which is preventing free fonts from being installed.
I am wrong about the pay thing. I installed clean fonts and neat fonts. They are both free and have some legible but stylish fonts. Penelope is nice.

As mentioned try to find the .ttf or .otf file in the decompiled APK. There are several apps in the Play Store to install such fonts without root.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
I'm working on locating the font within the known app. But anyone know which app could be used to install fonts in the galaxy s8 specifically, without root?
Most font apps I've found (and used in the past) only work up to the s5. Here's what jrummyapps had noted in his FontFix app
NOTE Samsung Devices on operating system Marshmallow (6.0.1) and later (Galaxy S6, S7, S8, Note 5) do not support installing free fonts from FontFix unless your device is rooted
That's why I posted this under s8, but I guess I may have a problem without root.
Yep, so far without root we're out of luck.
bummer, no specific ttf in apk

Had hoped to locate the font to use if I decide to root my phn, but every file in the apk is html except for Roboto-Light.ttf. But the font apk has 50 choices and the one I'm looking for is def not Roboto-Light. wth??? I guess the font pack just modifies Roboto? Make me :silly:
Maybe it's one of these?

Nope, but thanks anyway. I thanked indexmonkey for that post. I've looked at all the monotype imaging fonts on their site.
HATE the fact that I'm practically jonesing over that stupid font! But after not finding it in the original apk, I'm just about over it. B4 I go looney...
same thing here, i'm searching the font "sj secret", didn't find it
I found this apk on a Google search earlier and it works!!!! I attached a pic so you can see it does.
