My theory is that the "fonts" folder without dot takes over the "dotted" one and that's why fonts imported by theme customizer aren't showing up. Solution would be to move all your fonts to /usr/share/.fonts and then remove the non-dotted fonts -directory.

hmmm i dont find the .font folder there.. all i see is ~fonts which is where i put my fonts folder in...

Okay, then that's the reason why importer fails to work. I'll add "check if .fonts exists" into my script and make it create that folder if it doesn't exist.

Strange that you don't have that folder, since I have it and I just made complete reflash (including emmc) and that folder is there by default.

speaking of fonts, the font changing option is very nice and from memory, the most complete one i.e. the font is changed *almost* everywhere (vs other implementtions i have seen. but to be fair, the others are wip). the only hitch now is when a window pops up, the title of the window is still in the default nokia sans font.

to repo, go to settings and click on Theme. the title of the popup window, "Select a theme", is in the default font. is there anyway to change this to make it a complete system-wide font change?

Stupid Nokia has hard coded that value not to follow what theme tells to use. So only option to change that is to overwrite the original Nokia Sans font file with font you want.

what???? they hard coded it? those fools. i don't know why but when i think "open source" i tend to think not-hard-coded. sigh. oh well, when i get bored i may just replace that font.

thanks for the information. keep up the good work!!!

You can find it from /opt/theme-customizer/transitions.ini

Theme Customizer places it under your current theme so it's not system-wide by default :-) It also creates backup of your current transitions.ini (if one is available at current theme's folder) and it's restored if you choose not to use my bundled transitions @ Theme Customizer.

Maemo 5 is full of hardcoded font definitions, that's the main reason there's so few light themes. In many applications Nokia has hard coded white or almost white font to be used no matter what theme is telling. But in their endless wisdom they haven't hard coded the background colors, so if you have theme with light background, you'll end up unreadable texts here and there since the font is forced to be white...
