Adding font on your custom firmware - Bada Software and Hacking General

By default we have 2 fonts: Choco cookie.ttf and Samsung font.ttf
On attached files, 2 more font (available on samsunapps): Cool jazz.ttf and Rosemary.ttf
For adding them to custom, just unzip the files and add them to AppEx\SysDefault\Font\Download
You can also try with Android font or windows font

It worked for me with these fonts but not with the rest.
What I've been doing since these fonts are in SamsungApps is download at least one of them, let's say Rosemary.
Then, I go to STune-->OSP-->Applications--> (Rosemary folder)-->Res-->Font, and place there every font I want.
That's how every font has worked for me... at least the ones from Windows.
P.S: I had some problems with fonts in capital letters. So it would be advisable to rewrite fonts in lower case. I.e: asdf.ttf
Best Regards

You can use bada 1.2 fonts too
They are in rc1 files
Best Regards

I have forgotten where I read this...
Someone wrote about some miisng Chars if using Windows Font or something similar...
Maybe we should take an look to Android.
I mean Samsung Android.
Maybe they use same FONT for full support...
Maybe one way for Android Fonts...

Applemint
I've got one more for you guys. This one is called "Applemint" and it has been extracted from Asian FW, and it works and looks great. It contains most European characters, and being a official Bada font it shouldn't cause any issues. Well, try it for your self.

Opera WM5b2 Not displaying correct font with new Imate rom

Has anyone found a fix for this yet? With Opera's Wm5b2 all the letters are in webdings. HEHE looks cool but now we can't use it.
Mike
same problem; I tried to change opera.ini parameters (e.g. Language file), but no success.
same problem here. Spanish keyboard and English region settings. And when i changed the region setting to spanish now opera doesnt startup
There appears to be a fault with the default sytem font on the new jasjar rom.
Change it using the lite version of tweak2k2. I changed mine to one of the other fonts soft reset then changed it back again to tahoma, works a treat here
HTH
fards
oh I also copied the tahoma font to the windows/font folder and renamed it the symbolmt font. But I can't see this making much difference.
great !! it worked !
thx a lot
lol, i have re flashed with old rom just because of this problem
but i didn't like battery icon anyway
After selecting another Font, resetting and Reseleting Tahoma it worked for me but not my colleague
For Him we had to Copy another Font VJNina to Windows\Fonts and select that as the System Font. The name in TW2k2 is VJ Nina :?
Hope this helps

There is an other way to make the new Opera display fonts correct.
It looks like Opera is setup to use verdana.ttf , but we haven't got any verdana.ttf on our new JasJar rom.
So what i did, i went to my /windows/fonts directory on my laptop and copied the verdana.ttf font to /windows/fonts at my Universal.
And 'voila' Opera is displaying the fonts correct.

Alternative fonts

I used to be able to replace fonts just by moving them to the Fonts folder under System in my G1. Now i have just got my Hero and tried to do the same so i could view Arabic language but it did not work!?!?!
Any suggestion?!?!?
see here:
http://www.android-devs.com/?p=33
Excellent way of doing a fallback font! Now i can add some extra fonts for the device
Edit: For users that uses the modaco custom rom, this might not be a good solution as the DroidSansFallback.ttf font on the device is 4MByte, which includes more fonts than the ttf provided by the freely licensed Dejavu fonts on that website, which ends up giving even more "blocks" on fonts (while i tried this it disabled all chinese fonts.)

Editing

i just changed over to the titanium SRM layout.
and im kinda digging the font, but sorry not to big on the theme.
so if i go back to the media topbar can i edit my font, with my windows font packs? or do i need to uses special ones?
also whats up with the wing linux i installed the 1kb file on the device but how do i run it?

Wait! Any .smt file cam installed on Bada,right? Be it any version?
Here is What i do
1. Connect the phone to Stune 1.0.6*
2. Under the Browser tab Go to AppEx\User\Theme\Download
3. Copy your *.smt file**
4. Disconnect and you will find the theme in the Display menu in the settings
*: New Stune 1.0.7 Doesn't work with bada 2.0 (1.0.6 is attached)
**: the file should be adapted for 2.0 themes so don't use 1.2 themes
P.S : i tried to add a font in AppEx\User\Font\Download and it appeared in the menu put when chose it wasn't applied correctly
Best Regards
@mylove: Great news that the fonts are appearing in the settings! But what do you mean with "it wasn't applied correctly"? Was there some error message?
After applying it i noticed that i got the default font and nothing changed
there was no error messages at all
Maybe we need a special font format not like the regular *.ttf files used with PC
Best Regards
Maybe the fonts need to cover special characters for other languages. Please try the font in the attachment.

Here You have. I've added languages for everything which is included in framework-res. It includes many dialogs, OK/CANCEL dialogs etc. What is most important it will add definitions for dates, times etc. This will not translate B&N specific programs (like 'library' and 'shop').
Added languages (you can choose):
ar
bg
ca
cs
da
de
el
es
ed
fi
fr
he
hi
hr
hu
id
it
ja
ko
land
lt
lv
nb
nl
pl
pt
ro
ru
sk
sl
sr
sv
th
tl
tr
uk
vi
zh
languages with better support by android:
Chinese, PRC (zh_CN)
Chinese, Taiwan (zh_TW)
Czech (cs_CZ)
Dutch, Netherlands (nl_NL)
Dutch, Belgium (nl_BE)
English, US (en_US)
French, France (fr_FR)
French, Belgium (fr_BE)
French, Canada (fr_CA)
French, Switzerland (fr_CH)
German, Germany (de_DE)
German, Austria (de_AT)
German, Switzerland (de_CH)
German, Liechtenstein (de_LI)
Italian, Italy (it_IT)
Italian, Switzerland (it_CH)
Japanese (ja_JP)
Korean (ko_KR)
Polish (pl_PL)
Russian (ru_RU)
Spanish (es_ES)
languages are taken from 2.2 sdk repository:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2.html#locs
There are two files: one for manual install via ADB and one to flash via CWM recovery. I'm recommending second option as much more safe.

YOU STILL NEED 'MORE LOCALE 2' to change language in system.
Korean!!!
But, how do you do that? Are you adding fonts to /system/fonts folder or replace one of the stock fonts? If it is the latter case, I found out that replacing with some fonts soft-bricked NookTouch. If you need fonts, here's the link. It contains two sets of fonts. We don't have italic nor bolditalic.

Anyway thanks for doing this!

You probably just copied fonts without setting proper file permissions. Then You have boot loop because android cannot load fonts. You have to set proper file permissions before reboot.
You need to replace HelveticaNeue as those are fonts used in Nook (DroidSans in every other android device).
I can add Korean language to framework-res (main android file), but You have to workout font problem by yourself. Probably it will be better to use some font which has every UTF chars including Korean.
Hi
can you please add italian language?
that would be awesome!

I set the permission properly as I've used linux for a while. I switched fonts using noogie.img and linux. But some combinations simply work and some does not. For example, I have korean font A (similar to sans), I switch A with Trebuchet_regular, it work. but if I switch it with Amasis_regular, it does not. I don't know whether there are some compatibility issues regarding fonts.
Also, I can see korean fonts in the library(title, author's name) but not in the reader. Does it mean library uses different fonts? (since HelveticaNeue definately does not support korean).
I'm just trying to find out general rule for switching fonts. Since, you know, people have a lot of different preference, so people want to use different fonts. Again, thanks a lot.
I would just like it if we could figure out how to add a font to the list of available fonts in the drop-down box under the font options in the Text dialog. Then instead of replacing fonts, we could just add any of the fonts people are looking for. It must be possible, just not sure quite how to do it. Has anyone used "Font Changer (Root)" from the marketplace on the NST?

I used Font Changer (Root). It is quite working well in terms of replacing fonts. However, there's still a bug that if you choose to see preview before replacing fonts, it replaces wrong fonts. Still, replacing fonts is quite dangerous since it will put NookTouch in boot-loop.
One of the ways which is quite working well so far is replacing only regular font and deleting bold, italic, bolditalic. I am successfully reading Korean text through the stock reader.
Could you add russian as well, please?
MULTILANGUAGE BETA added.
Hi than33,
can you tell us where to push the framework-res.apk file with adb ?
Is it in /system/app or in /system/framework/ ?

/system/framework
I don't think it is safe to push it on system already running. Probably it will crash system immediatelly without any chance to change file permissions.'
I think You have to do this by CWM recovery. I've uploaded file to be flashed via CWM recovery. On the second hand if You have CWMR it is easy to flash original framework in case of something goes wrong.
UPDATE: uploaded MULTILANGUAGE file to flash via CWM RECOVERY
Spanish pleaseee
I flash it via CWM RECOVERY and it works good.
Many apps in french now.
Thank you

It was already added. My llist of available languages wasn't complete.
I cannot add more languages as those are all which are available in android sdk.
Please check once again if your language is on list. (updated 2012-01-03)

I did the same and Nook felt to bootloop. Will try ADB tomorrow after factory reset.
P.S. Sorry, it seems it's not your fault. The bootloop continues even after factory reset. Probably something went wrong with CWR...
P.P.S. Alas, the problem persists. Factory reset with 2 buttons doesn't help against the bootloop, but 8 interrupted reboots does. After the restore I tried to apply your framework, and got the same bootloop. I have a 1.0.1 version, is it critical?

It works for me but I have 1.1.0 version. Maybe it matter
I confirm, it works only with 1.1.0, previous versions won't boot up with this framework.
Actually I can't see any difference before and after update. Even power off message and buttons remain in English. Could somebody post any examples of the translation? Or how to check if the update was succsessful or not?
I'm terribly sorry that I didn't mention that this is for firmware 1.1. My mistake!
I've changed first post to be more clear.
