Install Fonts in N900
I want to install Thai fonts and I'm a noob. Can anyone help me with how exactly I can do this?

Re: Install Fonts in N900
You need to make a directory .fonts (the period at the beginning is important) under your home directory and copy the fonts into it.
In case you're not familiar with the Linux command line, here's a way to do it. 1) Save the font files to the folder MyDocs 2) Open the terminal 3) Code:
mkdir ~/.fonts Code:
mv ~/Mydocs/*.ttf ~/.fonts/ โชคดีนะ :) |

Okay I'm confused, I can't even type ~ in terminal, how can I create a new folder.

Re: Install Fonts in N900
~ is typed by pressing Alt-Ctrl which brings up additional symbols to enter.
However, I don't understand why you are not installing the thai fonts from Extras-testing http://maemo.org/packages/view/thai-ttf/ You will need to enable extras-testing https://wiki.maemo.org/Extras and reboot your phone afterwards. The software hosted in extras-testing might not be ready for end users! Please don't play with it unless you really know what you are doing. |

Sorry--I forgot that the folder is only labeled MyDocs in the terminal. The place you want to save them, if you're using the file manager, is the the lowest-level folder, the folder where the Documents, Photos, etc. folders are. Or just save them in the Documents folder and replace the line Code:
mv ~/Mydocs/*.ttf ~/.fonts/ Code:
mv ~/Mydocs/.documents/*.ttf ~/.fonts/ |

Mingalabar.. Nay Kaung Lar? hhaa ;p I did this (mkdir ~/.fonts) (Terminal Said File exits) However when I give this comment (mv ~/Mydocs/.documents/*.ttf ~/.fonts/ ) It said '/home/user/.fonts: No such file or directory .. Now I have no idea why.. and what went wrong .. Thank you |
Re: Install Fonts in N900
The following will also work:
Code:
sudo gainroot |
Re: Install Fonts in N900
I've noticed that Webbie's way is the only way to get system apps like the Terminal to recognise your fonts. There's very little room there, however, so only put one or two fonts there. Most of your "fancy" fonts should go in the .fonts directory.
If you're having a hard time typing ~ you can also replace it with /home/user it just takes longer to type... |
Re: Install Fonts in N900
Of course, option C is to symlink to /usr/share/fonts.
|
Re: Install Fonts in N900
can you set a custom font for all the menus in general?
what if you set a messed up font with "broken" characters? :D |
Re: Install Fonts in N900
Hi,
1. I downloaded a font 'latha.ttf' for viewing tamil fonts in the browser. 2. As advised, I created a directory mkdir ~/.fonts which went through fine. 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? |

Re: Install Fonts in N900
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 |

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. |

Re: Install Fonts in N900
i followed the instruction with a font of my choosing and replaced the
nosnb.ttf nosnr.ttf nosns.ttf nscnr.ttf in: usr/share/fonts/nokia with my ttf, but when i reboot the phone the system font change to a totally different font, can anyone give me a pointer to whether a ttf file has to have specific requirements on the n900?? cheers :) |
Re: Install Fonts in N900
ok, ive fixed the previous problem but a new one has arisen :)
the font i want works but the characters are a little bit on the small side, i know i can edit the file in the theme (cant remember the name right now), but wanted to knowm if it was possible to edit the actual ttf file to increase the fonts slightly?? i tried a bit of googling but really only came across font viewers and managers, ill do a bit more research when i get home. :) |
