Can you install a custom system font? - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

I have a ttf font file that I used iFont to install on previous phones. iFont does not seem to work on Android 11 and only two fonts show up in the customization/font section. Is there a way to push a font file so it will show up for use or is there an app that will work on Android 11 to switch fonts?

[Q] How to change UI font

I see people have different fonts for UI elements. I download an app called flipfont but I can't find it in my drawer, is it now mytouch4g compatible? Or how do I do this?

you've seen different fonts on the mt4g?
What you need to do, is move the file to the system/fonts directory. You need to replace the DroidSans.ttf file with your font that you want (You have to name that font to DrodSans.ttf). Btw, you need to have root access .. also make sure the permissions on the file is the same as all the files in the fonts directory. Once I changed the font my phone started acting weird due to the font permissions not being set correctly. FYI I used root explorer. (Make a backup of DroidSans.ttf as well).
Please post questions in Q&A section.

How to install additional fonts on the LG G2?

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.

Tip to reduce font over sharpening

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?

Is there any way to change all of my phone fonts

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.

How to change fonts on OOS 10?

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.

Yes, I got that much. I would like to use either rosemary or f*ckbeans font. I'm wondering how to make all 18 files from either rosemary.tff or f*ckbeans.tff. can I use one of those to make the 18 files? Thanks again buddy!

► 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.
