sorry for late reply. I happen to check this thread just now because I need to reinstall the font after flashing the device. There is a small mistake in the second moving command, "mv ~/Mydocs/.documents/*.ttf ~/.fonts/". "Mydocs" should be "MyDocs". That's it. So in case of Zawgyi-One-20060620.ttf in the Documents folder, the command should be "mv ~/MyDocs/.documents/Zawgyi-One-20060620.ttf ~/.fonts/". If it doesn't say " no such file or directory" , then it's done. If you give the moving command twice, it'd say "Operation not permitted". I hope this helps. A sin pyay par say byar:) |

Re: Install Fonts in N900
Guys,
I am very new to these mods, n900 and zero clue about linux. I have been trying to follow these threads like others and think I pretty much have my head around it and have been swapping fonts, it's great. I have seen a few guys struggling to grasp the install so simply trying to assist. I have used instructions by others and altered slightly for my own purpose. I have created folders in my phone and attempted to be organised. So this adapted code works as per my folder structure and have highlighted in red. You can simply change the red to your own folder structure. Just make sure you change both codes portions in red. The first code will make a copy of the original and place in a folder (folder and path in red). The second takes the new files from the folder (in red ) and places in the correct location for it to work. Firstly, download "rootsh" using your phone from Extras-devel and install. How to activate Extras-devel In the Application Manager: 1. Navigate to the application menu (tap the title bar) 2. Select ‘Application catalogs’ 3. Select ‘New’ 4. Enter a catalog name of ‘Maemo extras-devel’ 5. Enter a web address of http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel 6. Enter a distribution of ‘fremantle’ 7. Enter components of ‘free non-free’ 8. Select ‘Save’ I have created folders 'original' & 'options' under: MyDocs/.documents/nokian900/n900mods/font/ Name the files you wish to use: 'nosnb.ttf' 'nosnr.ttf' 'nosns.ttf' 'nscnr.ttf' and place in the 'font' folder. Now open X-Terminal App on your phone. (Make back up of original files using code below) CODE: sudo gainroot cp /usr/share/fonts/nokia/* MyDocs/.documents/nokian900/n900mods/font/original/ (Now copy new files in it's place using code below) CODE: mv MyDocs/.documents/nokian900/n900mods/font/* /usr/share/fonts/nokia/ Reboot phone and reapply any widgets back to the home screen if they are missing. To apply a different font you must reapply the nokia original font first, (in original folder) and reboot phone, then apply your font files and reboot. I hope I have not confused you further and assisted. Thank you to the others that gave us all the info, works like a charm. |
Re: Install Fonts in N900
So what I am not clear on is the the 4 different files. Do different apps use a different file?
So say I wanted to use the Nokia Sans for all general UI though wished to use the ProFont for word docs and X-Terminal. Can anyone tell me if that makes sense firstly and if so which one effects what? |
Re: Install Fonts in N900
bumping the thread in hope someone can assist

Re: Install Fonts in N900
Coffee: Those instructions are for "tricking" the system into thinking your custom fonts are the system fonts. You don't need those instructions for what you want to do.
If you just want to use a font in X-Terminal, you don't have to rename it. Just copy the .ttf file of the font you want to the /usr/share/fonts directory. Then reboot and go to the font dialog in the X-Terminal and choose your custom font. If you just want to use the font in documents, make a directory /home/user/.fonts and put the .ttf file in there. It should show up in word processors, notepads, etc. |

Re: Install Fonts in N900
I always have trouble with the Font changes.
I'm not new to Linux, so moving files around is not an issue. I'm trying to change the UI fonts on the Staus Menu, Power button menu, etc. I put the default fonts back into /usr/share/fonts/nokia nosnb.ttf nosnr.ttf nosns.ttf nscnr.ttf Rebooted Then deleted those files and copied in the new files of the new font. Reboot, the fonts don't change. Seems dead easy, just doesn't work for me. Here's the fonts I have in the "nokia" directory Nokia-N900:/opt/usr/share/fonts/nokia# ll drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Aug 18 23:13 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 May 30 22:55 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 7 14:19 Avant Garde drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 18 22:56 ChinaCat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5332 Feb 24 05:28 DeviceSymbols-RX34.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 126320 Feb 24 05:28 Nokia_Sans_Maps.ttf drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 28 14:58 Sony drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 29 12:56 Tahoma drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 28 14:39 def -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5484 Feb 24 05:28 nokiasmiley.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 73184 Aug 18 23:13 nosnb.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 73184 Aug 18 23:13 nosnr.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 73184 Aug 18 23:13 nosns.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 73184 Aug 18 23:13 nscnr.ttf What is the "have to reinstall the default fonts thing about"? There must be something else that needs to be done to force the issue. |
