Changing The System Font
I haven't found a way to change the global system font (except replacing the tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf files with a renamed version of the font you want). But it is possible to change some UI font by changing the "Nm" value in the following keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\SYSFNT\ - Treeview and Listview items
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\BarFnt\ - Menu text (on the bar itself)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\PopFnt\ - Menu items text
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\OOMFnt\Nm "Abadi MT Condensed Light" (In my case - this font renders interesting results in Contacts and Calendar, where bold characters appear in many fields. Easy to read, and small width.)

I think you didn't understand it.
it's font rendering, such as microsoft's cleartype, it's not relative to font...
thanks all the same...

Ultimatelaunch disable tab highlighting

Does anybody know if there is any way to disable the highlighting of a tab when it is selected in Ultimatelaunch? I'm trying to get rid of the semi-transparent box around the current tab. I still want to keep the transparency effect of the icon though.

That option is under the HEADERS tab.

I only see the options to change the color of it under headers. I am trying to disable it or make it transparent.

Change the height of the headers to 0% .

If you are saying you don't want to see the headers (and just use gestures or D-Pad to switch Tabs), then you can set the Header height to "0". But beware, the only way I could find (and it took me a little while) to get back into Options, was to run UltimateLaunchConfig.exe under \Program Files\UltimateLaunch\.

Jinx, Ya Boi D, you have to email me a Coke.

I don't want to hide the tabs. I just want to hide the highlighting of the tabs. I attached a screenshot of what I'm trying to get rid of. The little controller icon is the one that is currently selected. I want it so that the icon transparency changes but i don't want the highlighting of the tab to show.

Under the "display" tab, set the colorized background to: color: 0, blurring: 2

Thanks Lilburd. It doesn't totally remove the highlighting but it's close enough for me. I can live with it. I kind of like the little blur effect it has on the background.

Big image on homescreen

Hi!
I am trying to make my first custom homescreen and ran into some difficulties:
I would like to have a big image on my screen, working as 2 shortcuts:
I would like that if i click the left part of the image one app is launched, but when i click the right part another app is launched.
But the image should be displayed without a gap. I thought that Desktop Visualizer could do the job, but there is allways a gap.
Is there an a app, which allows me to do so???
(I use Launcher Pro and set the rows & colums to 5, because that way there is more space But this shouldnt matter... )

Add the "big icon" using DV - Don't assign any app to it, leave it blank.
Add a transparent icon using DV - Assign the first app.
Add another transparent icon using DV - Assign the second app.
.. Yeah. Then use LauncherPro to resize the blank shortcuts to fit the big icon nicely.

Thanks for the tip, it might come in handy.

Thanks for the answer! But I cant figure out how to do this:
I can add the big image. And I also added to transparent images with DV. But I cant move the transparent images over the big image. This doesnt seem to be possible?!???

Changing on Screen S Note Font

Afternoon
Looking to change the font to Rosemary.
I changed it in the settings and nearly all my tab is now in the rosemary font - this covers the icon names, settings etc., however...
I want to change the font in the s note as you type or it recognizes your writing.
Can this be done as the standard font is pretty ugly.
Thanks

If you hold down on the T pen button you get a pop-up that lets you choose the font, style and colour

There's this app on Samsung's app store called "MyRealFont", it's currently free in some regions. Not sure if that's what you're looking for though.

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.
