Custom Fonts Lockscreen Issue - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
I'm on Oxygen OS 9.0.11 rooted with magisk and want to change the system fonts. I installed ifont and typeface apps to do it. Whenever I choose a font (those provided in the apps but as well some fonts downloaded from the internet) everything is fine. I have to choose roboto font in phone settings and I can see the custom font. But there is a issue on the Lockscreen. The ":" in the clock is replaced with a box or an empty character. The only font where it is displayed correctly is roboto condensed (I guess the whole roboto family will be displayed correctly). All other fonts have this issue.
Is there any way to Display the clock widget on Lockscreen correctly?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Works fine for me on Google Product Sans and Delius.

Tried Product Sans as well, same issue here

You need to edit the Roboto Light font as its responsible for the lockscreen clock.

Any way to change sources din open bootloader, or root?

I edited the whole font family. Currently using SF pro display fonts. Donwloaded the whole family with regular, medium, bold, light and italic fonts and added them with the typeface app. But I still get strange replacement characters. In the statusbar the clock is displayed correctly, a ":" is available in the font as well. Am I missing something?

No problems with this? I'm running beta with xXx nolimits but I would like to try this. Is there an XDA thread or telegram channel for it?

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?
Sent from my u8800
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..

If you go to play store and download ifont, you can change font as changing theme.
I installed ifont. Downloaded a font and 'set' it. Then I applied it in theme manager. But the font hasn't changed..?

It works for me on NXT-L29C636B170. Do check the version of ifont, only the latest work.
Same problem here also. No option to change font thru settings, and with ifont when I download and set a custom font but nothing actually changes. ifont on latest version. Any workaround?
Thanks!
There is fonts style under display
For me there are indeed font style under display
I also have this problem ...
all was fine until i downloaded & Apllied the Android N Theme
since then the font option in display menu & in themes Manger is gone
i can not change the font and it seems that the emojies in sms app are also gone because it shows me emojies in black an white !!
please help
Thank you for your answer.
Yes you are correct: I updated to 180 (now Im also on C900B180) and the font style appeared.
However, still no any luck with ifont. Are you rooted? Which rom did you use to update? Maybe this is a rom based issue...
When the font setting is not present, without root the only way to change fonts is using themes containing a new font.
But only few themes contains fonts, and most of them have funny fonts and/or make also unwanted changes to other system UI items (like the status bar icons).
Going back from a theme installing fonts is not easy, as the default Huawei themes don't contain the stock font.
Anyway, knowing the theme structure, one could prepare his own theme with the desired font.

It depends on the cust configuration used by your phone and the hw_oem configuration for your phone. I've patched that for the users of my KangVIP Slim ROM. But if your phone is not rooted there's no way to change it if the ROM you've flashed has <string hw_hide_font_style="true"/>
in the hw_defaults.xml files that are used. You've to set that to false in for example cust/hw/eu/xml/hw_defaults.xml and all parent configs used by the eu config or any other you want to patch. /cust/hw/normal is for example the parent of eu. Now you know how to bring up font feature in any Huawei ROM

So somehow i enabled the font style by accident? Because i realised. Theme that comes with fonts preinstalled allow me to change the fonts. Also themes with 8 Bit font (as an example) style some other fonts in theme doesnt work. Well now i just wait for new themes for emui, due to i having Asia (Singapore Set) i cant get more themes online, rather i need to sideload under hwthemes folder

That is very simple, your phone is using a cust folder where this option is set to false. I guess you're on B180 international. The cust folder in the ROM you've flashed is the reason that you could choose the font, not any theme you've installed. With modding cust files it's possible to enable theme download on any ROM, too, by the way ?

Hi,
my phone model is L29 and running on rom B180. I changed the <string hw_hide_font_style="true"/> to false in cust/hw/normal/xml/hw_defaults.xml and cust/hw/spcseas/xml/hw_defaults.xml, after that the font style option did appeared in display and theme manager, however there is only one default font to choose even there are plenty of fonts files under system/fonts/. Any idea where should I save the fonts files?
that are the systemfonts, you'll only get more if you install themes containing fonts, or fontpacks you could find for example in huawei club forum, maybe on xda too. These fonts are packed within hwt files too.

If you're root, you can use HiFont (and not iFont) app, avalaible in Google Play, to change system font.

(Solved) Possible to change accent colors of the system UI?

Hey guys, as you know google is using a blue accent color for their system UI, sadly (IMO) essential is using a green accent and i would love to change this.
maybe someone knows how to change this accent color somewhere, maybe in the build prop or in the system.ui itself?
i attached a screenshot of which parts of the system ui i mean, its the notifcation area.
hoping for some usefull answers
EDIT: Simple as that, just use an substratum theme (pixel theme in my case)
Substratum works on 9?
Sai theme pie from telegram is the best subs theme
does it require root? In oreo Sai's theme worked without root.

Magisk and install the pixel experience module
Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.treydev.pns
Also note....don't build the initial Sai with Navigation selected. Do the Settings, quick settings, UI etc..but don't select Navigation..anytime I've done that, then rebooted the first time, bootloop.
Then, once you enable it in the manager, go back and select Navigation and build/enable it in the Themes section. Then, reboot and it will magically change you quick tile settings to the black/blue color. Found this method out experimenting, on the latest beta/build as well on Pie. You shouldn't have to go into Manager and select Navigation, it will be gold in color, different from the others, but it will be enabled and working on the quick tiles.
Good luck.
We have a mod coming out to change the accents..stay tuned

Custom fonts

Is there any working way to customize the fonts?
Ok I found a nice Magisk modulet hat allowed to edit the fonts.
Once you set a font through magisk you can use typeface or possibly another font app to change the system font. I use Typeface with a copy of my personal favorite font. Got mine system wide this way.

Font changer 3.0.0.3 in the module section of magisk
Sent from my 8 Pro using XDA Labs
Hello - not sure this is the right place, but I haven't mucked about with my phones in the past 4, 5 years (?)
I'm currently on the OP 8 Pro, and if the only thing I wanted to do was change the font to Google/Product Sans, is this the correct way to go about it?
1. unlock bootloader (wipes system, yes?)
2. boot (not flash) twrp
3. in twrp, flash magisk zip (magisk is new to me)
4. boot system
5. use magisk manager (install apk if necessary) to change font?
And if I somehow do everything right, does rooting these days cause any problems? I try to do everything on my phone/ipad pro now so I'd like to keep the following functional:
-fingerprint/s
-banking apps
Much obliged!

font changer is on revision right now. do you have a flashable zip to share?
One of the main reasons that I rooted my new OnePlus 8 Pro was so that I could change the font (to Bauhaus).
Now that Font Changer has been removed from Magisk, is there any other way to add fonts?
Is there any way font can be customised on oneplus 8pro?
I've been using fonts available by Tulsadiver in the Pixel 4 XL forums. I just use the template and add different font files to have more fonts.
I was using font changer as well, so might try something else...

Roboto font isn't applying on everything, Any solution?

Hello xda family, One plus roboto font isn't applying in every app like facebook, messenger etc and some notifications as well. Any way to apply that font in every app? I know we can root and install custom font installer like ifont to get that font everywhere but is there any solution without root? I just love the theme ?
Thanks in advance ?
I believe some apps have their apps hard coded so it's impossible to change it.
