What is the Stock font in Google Pixel and how do i get it installed on S8? I am rooted and i want to know where should i put it inside /system.
Isn't it Roboto?
Roboto is the standard typeface (followed by Noto) in material design and on Android as well, so I assume Google used the first one for the Pixel.
You can download any TrueType-Font (TTF) to your phone and paste it into system/fonts.
If that doesn't work, download iFont from the Play Store and paste the TTFs into /sdcard/ifont/custom .

I have been working on this issue for most of the day over in the Vibrant forums.
I am posting here in hopes of getting someone who knows more about apk editing and fonts then I do to help out.
Link to the post on the XDA Vibrant forum here
Please post your response there. Once the issue is solved I will repost a walk-through on all Galaxy S forums.
Here is the start of my thread, please read the link to see the progress.
I am aware that there are other ways to edit the fonts on our phone, by replacing renaming the default font. This is NOT what I would like to accomplish.
Since the Galaxy S is the first android phone to use Flipfont, I think we should take advantage of it. It gives us a nice preview of the font in the built in menu option and is thus superior to the other methods.
I originally purchased the Bauhaus font from the market and made a backup of it through ASTRO. After pulling the file from my phone and putting it on the computer I started editing the file with Apk Manager 4.8 found here
Steps preformed
Copied original apk into place-apk-here-for-modding folder
Run script.bat and choose option 9 ***this maybe where the issue is as I may need to choose option 10 and include the dependancy if there is one for the flipfont apk.
replace bauhaus.ttf with a .ttf font of my choosing
edit all XML, yml and smali files to include the font name or font.ttf depending on the entry in the original file *** I did not change any of the other coding so again this maybe where the problem is, as I may need to change something else to have the font act properly.
Edit the last folder name in the smali folder tree from bauhaus to the name of my font
Replace font with custom font and replace the preview image with my own
Compile apk
Sign apk
Rename apk
install apk on my phone
After putting the apk on my phone and installing the file, it shows up as expected in settings>Sound and Display>Font style. The font thumbnail shows up properly as does the font preview. The preview does show up a little larger then the other fonts and may be a sign that the font is not optimized properly or that I missed something in the XML.
After applying the font and restarting, the phone is extremely slow, freezing quite often and the font does not show up, it shows the default font instead.
If anyone that knows more about XML or apk editing/creation can help it would be great.
I have included the edited font apk if you would like to download it and run it through Apk Manager 4.8. If you want to try it with the bauhaus or one of the other fonts you will need to buy it from the market and back it up. (trying not to break any rules here.)
[EDIT][More info] Ok I took a closer look at the font that came with the Bauhaus akp
In the discription of the font it list:
OpenType Layout, Digitally Signed, TrueType Outlines
I know that opentype is a new format and that alot of the fonts for OpenType that I find are made by Monotype, the same people that make the fonts available for download. I think this may have something to do with it or maybe Im just grasping. :ºp
Any font guys out there have any info on this?
CAUTION THE FOLLOWING FILE IS NOT MEANT FOR USE AND WILL CAUSE YOUR PHONE TO RUN SLOW!!!
Download Font APK
You only can use .ttf (true type font) any other type will not work,if you have a font u want to use but is not in .ttf then you need to convert it to .ttf, btw i prefer the Type Fresh app to manage and change my fonts is easier than the method you described.
Also, make sure the font has a full latin library. I learned the hard way from the TypeFresh app (which is a way better solution IMO). In its instructions which I only read the second time, one font (i believe its called DroidSansFallback.ttf) needs to have a COMPLETE set, including latin, I believe for certain coding going on somewhere. I bricked my phone within two hours of rooting it. Took three to get it back. (Backup people!)
Anyways, now I use TypeFresh, it gives you options on which system font to replace, and I never replace that one.
Hope this helps.
Hi guys,
Thought i would a tip i found today. We know font over sharpening is a major problem in g3.
I found a way to reduce it.
First download the android L font pack, then extract it
Install ifont from play store
Open the app once.
Now copy the robotomedium.ttf file from android l fonts folder and paste in 'custom' folder in ifont directory.
Open ifont and apply the font.
I found that bolder the font its less apparent. And this font is the best balance between very bold and light fonts.
Hope it helps.
Thanks. Can you post a screenshot?
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.

I searched the Google Play store up and down and couldn't find a decent German fraktur font (something like Leipzig Fraktur), so I want to know: how to install a TTF font on the device, especially if the font is composed from multiple TTF files (one for normal, one for bold, one for italics and so on)? And my phone's unrooted, btw, I got a just a few days back.
hello!
the title says it all,
how can I change the font in latest oos 10?
i mean custom fonts, not just those two.
back in oos 9, I used type face font changer, it was working flawlessly, after oos 10 it's not working anymore.
I've also tried font changer module from magisk, but the dev deleted it and it was a server-based module, so I can't even use previous builds.
so.. can anyone suggest a working way to change the default font to a one of my choice?
Hi install this via the play store zfont https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mgngoe.zfont you can create your own magisk module with your font I put a link http://dl.free.fr/k6oqzkanw to my font to install via magisk then restart then go to the fonts of the oneplus 5 and choose Noto Sans that's it

Awesome work Ssmiles! Wondering if you could walk me thru how you made all the different .tff files? I had font changer module, but it's been taken down.... I have some knowledge in rooting and such, but haven't fooled around in a while. Just wondering about the font I want to use, can I just use the one .tff file and rename it all of the roboto*.tff files I need? Thanks in advance!

Hi, back up your original fonts folder in / system / fonts before you copy paste the 18 files of each font and overwrite the old files to restore your original fonts folder the day you want to go back! I use ChocoCooky or Galette or Jolly as a font.
Extract the compressed file then open it and select all the fonts then copy them then paste them in / system / fonts / then restart the phone then go to settings then personalization then fonts and choose the 1st Noto Sans font and validate that's it.

► SYSTEM FONTS • Roboto-Regular.ttf: This font is the most widely used. It can be found almost everywhere, from application labels to menu texts. • Roboto-Bold.ttf: This is the "bold" version of Roboto. Unlike the classic version, we see it very little. • Roboto-Italic.ttf: This is the "italic" version of Roboto. • Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf: Some “bold” and “italics” from Roboto. All of these fonts are stored in the / system / fonts folder. For starters, it's best to tackle the Roboto-Regular.ttf file as this is the most common font. The general idea is to replace the system font files with new font files while keeping the same file names as the originals. The font characters in the file are different, but the name of the file is exactly the same. For example, if you want to use a TTF font file named Times_New_Roman.ttf instead of Roboto-Regular.ttf, you will need to rename Times_New_Roman.ttf to Roboto-Regular.ttf and then copy the renamed file to / system / fonts. IMPORTANT: always make a system or original file backup before any manipulation. If something goes wrong, you can always go back. Renaming the original file by adding the .bak extension will make it usable, it stays in the same directory and you can remove this extension to make it operational again.
