3. Later when I tried moving the font using the follow command mv ~/MyDocs/.Documents/*.ttf ~/,fonts/ it gave me the following message mv: cannot preserve ownership of '/home/user/.fonts/users2n&name=latha.ttf':Operation not permitted

Any idea where I am going wrong?
Sometimes this error occurs even when the file has actually been copied. Can you check if the file is in the fonts folder?

I can't seem to get these font changes to work.

First thing I did was drop them in ~/.fonts and ran fc-cache -f -v and rebooted. No change.

Then I moved them to /usr/share/fonts/nokia did fc-cache -f -v and rebooted, no change to anything.

Then I moved them to /usr/share/fonts and did fc-cache -f -v and rebooted and nothing changed.

Any ideas?

Great handwriting font by ROLAN900D (fixed by leetut):

http://www.easy-share.com/1909301927...abithaFont.rar

http://www.mediafire.com/file/2znwfn...abithaFont.rar


just put the 4 font files:
nosnb.ttf
nosnr.ttf
nosns.ttf
nscnr.ttf

into:
usr/share/fonts/nokia

reboot phone and reapply any widgets back to the homescreen if they are missing


the 4 font files apply to different parts of the phone,
you could have 4 different fonts running at once,
on different parts of the phone if you wanted

here ive just included 4 copies of the same font 'thabita'
and renamed them to the above names

to apply a different font you must reapply the nokia original font first, (there included here) and reboot phone,
then apply your font files and reboot

Like I said, for some reason that didn't work for me, no change that I can see.

What do you mean by "no change"? It's not going to change the font of any of the UI elements--it just makes the font available for the browser and text apps.

Well, actually that's 100% not true. Why would you say that?

If you open the RAR files above, you see screencaps showing the UI changed.

I finally got it working tonight. Not sure what I did to get it working.

All the UI fonts are changed. If you look at the examples, it is readily apparent that these fonts are for the UI. It did not change the fonts IN the browser, and I didn't want it too.

Apologies. Until ROLAN900D hijacked this thread, it was only about installing new fonts, not replacing UI fonts. The original instructions you followed (saying in http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...9&postcount=23 that they didn't work) were to install new fonts, and I didn't bother to download ROLAN900D's package. And no, following the original instructions won't change the font in the browser, it just makes the newly installed fonts available. The change you just made to the UI was done by overwriting the default fonts.
