To my chosen font. Only some of the apps accept my chosen one.
Thanks
You need root access to change your device fonts.
with root access you can set/apply any ttf fonts.

Yes, I have root. Then where do I get the font files to replace the stock font files in /system?

Simple search on Play Store will find font changing apps, but from what you want not every app will change to the new system fonts when applied.
I've not yet found any way to change the fonts so that every app will change to the new system fonts applied. Some apps must have the fonts in the app and will not change.
Cheers

Find your faorite font here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/fonts-flashable-zips-t3219827 download and flash Via TWRP
I found a free app that does the job. It's called iFont and its what I've used on multiple devices (Nexus 6P, LG G3) for well over a year now. It has a garbage UI and ads and it's probably granting itself (and China) power of attorney over all your financial assets but it does two things very well:
1) Browse and download a ton of different fonts from within the app
2) Install/backup/restore the font
It's a better selection of fonts than I've seen in any other app or on the web itself. The file it downloads is an .APK that you can just manually extract to grab the .TFF file inside if you'd like. With Xposed, supposedly it lets you do per-app fonts and also color but haven't tested that. On some phones like the S3 and S4 apparently you dont even need root or to reboot to make it work in some capacity.

Why not use substratum + TypeFace app from the Store? Not even reboot is necessary. And with the app mentioned you can make substratum theme with ANY font you find on web.
ROM Toolbox makes it simple to change font systemwide.

Hey everyone just wanted to post this and let everyone decide if they would like to use them. I recently did a google search and found a large file in filetube that had hundredes of flashable .ttf fonts. So I went through them all and made this file that is to be used with Font Changer from the market. There is a free and a donate version. Please consider buying the Devs donate version because it is a very handy tool and he has done a very good job with this app. Below are the steps to apply these. Very easy and Enjoy.
Steps
1-Download the fontchanger file that I have here. Fonts folder
2-Install Font Changer from Market.
3-Un-zip the downloaded file, in it is a folder named .fontchanger.
4-Move the .fontchanger file to root of sdcard.
5- Now start Font Changer again and all of your new fonts will be there and able to install.
6- Reboot phone as the popup will ask and enjoy.
Huge thanks to mayfield103 for providing me with the folder that I lost...sorry about that guys.
Is anyone using these one your tablets? Just wondering cause I see there have been tons of views but no replies. Just wondering if anyone is having issues or any requests.

Worked like a charm... thank you very much... I am going to Post this at Android Central to... with full credit to you... this is awesome
What all changes? in the tablet.. Does the browser font change aswell? Wouldn't want that.. What is the original font for honeycomb? is there a way to back up?
Everything changes in the tablet all of your fonts for everything except browser , it is great and if you are worried about the stock font make a nandroid backup and just restore it there is well over 300 fonts to choose from

I already have my system backed up, wouldn't want to do a full restore if all I want to restore is the original font. Wondering which font is the current one..
Does this load all of those fonts into memory.I know this can be a issue with only a gig of ram.but just not sure if its like a windows system.all fonts in the system font folder are loaded in ram at all times. Actually contributes to boot time.
Again not sure if this is true with android.or even with windows anylonger
So if my thinking is still a issue be careful.

No all fonts remains on sdcard. When you select a font you would like to use, font changer just manipulates the three main font files under /system/font. Fonts do not keep building up in /system/font, just changed our. Its pretty much harmless.

Font Changer did not create .fontchanger on my sdcard.
Thoughts?
EDIT: never mind. Found the hidden folder setting in ES
You can change the fonts on this phone but it doesn't seem to be as easy as it was with the Galaxy 3. I tried installing font APKs and also font apps but they don't show up. I also tried putting a fonts folder on the SD card but no luck. Anyone know how to add additional fonts?
I use Font Installer from the Play Store. Works great.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.

Well, I've tried installing a couple fonts on my rooted G2 with both iFont and Font Installer, but they don't show up. Any ideas?

There are lots of flashable fonts but be careful cause you cant revert back when you flash those fonts

After you install the font, you can go into settings>display>fonts and set the font to Roboto and it will show your custom font.
In Font Installer, you can also pick one of the other fonts from the list to install over, and keep doing that until you have a whole list of custom fonts in settings. They will still have the original names but if you look at the preview you can tell what font it is.

You're right, once I set Roboto, the custom font --helvetica neue --was applied. Now my phone has a bit of "Apple flavoring" to it
im using hebrew language as my default language.
the problem is that only the English language is changing.
i tried to change the font on HellFire rom and its workd
can someone tell me y its working on HellFire and not working on stock rom?
Not replacing all fonts
Hi,
I downloaded iFont and Font Installer. Find a proper font and install to system. Yes its affected and changed font, however it didn't affect system wide. For example; unread mailsnare showed up with new font but read mails still showing with another font which is not newly installed.
Donyou have any idea to solve this problem and aplly font system-wide?
so yeah,
I usually use iFont to change the font of my phone, it did work, and changed the basic font of my note 3,
yet, it still didn't change the font of any kind of web browser that I have.
how can I change that normal fonts?
I am rooted, and I have access on my sys folders.
please someone enlighten me to change that.
Afraid you wont be able to influence this, as the websites font are coded by the web devs themselves (html or php)
iFont does only change fonts of texts rendered on your device itself
hit 'thanks' if i helped you

replce the default system font with your own font in system fonts folder by any system browser as root explorer, done it with note 1

yeah I thought so,
but what are the default system font's name?
I saw bunch of the fonts in font folder.
I rename my custom font to : GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf
since this one is the default font for Arabic language , then I replce the one at system fonts folder (after backup)
be aware that with this method when you go later to change the font from settings , you will find that all other fonts options are disabered
Hi, is it possible to replace system font by another?without installing additional apps? Where are system fonts stored?

iFont from Play lets you download hundreds of font types and sizes without root, install in settings/display/font types. Fonts are located in /system/fonts afaik btw
I would have to agree with previous. ifint is really good. just follow instructions. works best on rooted devices but no need for rooted with it. works great on stock too

Great support. Thank you very much!!!
Hi guys, there's a way to add new fonts in the font list in settings on rooted oxygenos? I've seen that all the 2 fonts are stored system/fonts, anyone tried to add something else?
Sounds like a good idea of this is possible without root
Not in the system folder. Maybe through an app that stores them on the internal storage.
But making them an option in the settings needs some programing knowledge.
Maybe overwriting the OnePlus slate font files, we can have one our favorite font to choose instead of the OnePlus slate

Can this be done without overwriting the system fonts. I have used fontfix and it replaced my system font Roboto. I have also tried placing fonts in /system/fonts directory, but the font changer in settings doesn't detect this new font.
