fonts
 

well as i didn't know that people here are not familiar with these fonts ,i love my N900 as you guys do too , just sharing my love with this devise :P

well THIS IS NOT MY WORK .
(repeating) this is not my work , collected from an other forum

sharing it to let you guys to have more fun with your devise ;)



p.s INSTRUCTIONS

you can use theme customizer to change the font but theme customizer dont change the font of menu icons and of the digits on lock screen and of the message written by the interal keyboard .

for that you have to edit the files in /usr/share/fonts/nokia .
how ???
the complete instructions are in zip file. .

update :
you can select any font you wanted to.
just replace the orignal nokia fonts which are in the zipped file and then download any .ttf font you want
( courtesy : corduroysack ) you can download fonts from www.dafont.com and just simply place them in /usr/share/fonts and enjoy ;)

Re: fonts
 

well if the instructions are driving you crazy then you can leave other words in the instruction just follow this

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

Re: fonts
 

where do you get your fonts from?

Re: fonts
 

i've found this site
http://www.dafont.com/

would i be able to use any of these fonts?

Re: fonts
 

it's www.ipmart.com
and they have only these fonts which i already have added in the link.

Re: fonts
 

n900 support two types of formats i guess.
one is .ttf and dont know about the other one.
so try to find .ttf format fonts and place them in usr/share/fonts/nokia
and use theme customizer to change the fonts.
that's what i have tried with one font .
hope it will work for you.

p.s i am not a coder or dev so please if it wont work dont get mad at me :P

Re: fonts
 

hey eefo, how did you gain access to usr/share/fonts/nokia???? i cannot do it via mass storage mode, i wanna place the fonts for the Theme Customizer to change them, it seems reliable to me, can you help me out with this? i wanna refrain from using the xterminal

Re: fonts
 

jaffer again: Do it via filebox as root or via X-Terminal as root, you need rootsh installed
Here eefo gave some important link to (his?) a good howto http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=991983&postcount=7

Re: fonts
 

why going so much trouble using filebox,winscp or any other file manager to copy font to usr/share/fonts...there is a simple way to do that by using theme customizer only....

open theme customizer,click on the TC bar & press import fonts from folder...find where you keep the font on your phone & it will import the fonts automatic to usr/share/fonts...

there two type of fonts that can be use in n900...

1.ttf
2.otf

the best way find a proper fonts for your phone is at this web....

http://www.dafont.com

to know if the fonts works (got all the symbol) the preview the font on that website...if it got a full font including symbol then download it & use TC to import the font...if the preview show plenty of square/blank on the symbol/letter then the font is not full & it not going to works properly on your phone...

Re: fonts
 

wow never saw that option infact never bothered trying the drop down saving your own set up as well does this mean themes can be passed around? Talk about going around the long way lol a to b via c d e f g etc lol cheers you learn something new everyday :)
