Recently I've been having fun changing the fonts on my phone. With all the fonts I'm able to change in the list, I can't change them all. I mean, I can but when I do and reboot it gets stuck in a bootloop. I've only successfully changed the clock font and pretty much any font that isn't bold or italicized. Although I would like to change some more fonts other than just normal-style fonts. Does anyone know which fonts for sure can't be changed? If not, I'll even go through them one at a time to compile a list of unchangeable fonts.
Or could it be the font I'm choosing just won't take to the font I'm trying to replace?
Okay, it seems they all will change, but to do it safely I have to change some of the separately.

I faced the same problem but how to solve the bootloop if I face it??
I had to flash a new ROM and lost everything. If you made your list it would also be of great help.

SOME fonts from rom toolbox are for GB and below only. that's why you'll get bootloops.
try finding fonts for ICS/JB in the main Android Developement forum then go to themes section. if you get a bootloop and don't have a backup or something
or you could try THIS out

It seems like I couldnt change my font style even I've installed flip font on my device. I have no font option on setting too. Anyone can give me some help?
Maybe you have tried to install some fonts that are not compatible with ICS (i suppose you are using ICS).
A better and simpler way to install the fonts in case you have root is by CWM. There was a thread here somewhere about flashing fonts and there was a guy that could make the font you like, ICS compatible. In case you still need help i will look for the thread and post it here
Hey guys,
I really need help on changing the battery icon on my galaxy s3. I jusr hate how it looks. so I downloaded a program called ROM Toolbox Pro (im sure you've heard of it), installed it and downloaded the icon pack (Circular Colourful). I installed it and none of my battery icons changed. I restarted SystemUI.apk and nothing happened. I did a reboot and nothing happened. keep in mind that iam rooted and have custom recovery. i asked a question/ made a post on the bootloop that I encountered when changing SystemUI.apk, but I fixed it. so could someone help me solve this problem?
Thanks
Nevermind, fixed: just installed previous version.

Same Problem
Hi I was just curious what you meant by previous version. I am having the same problem. I'm rooted, running a custom ROM and I was able to change my boot animation fine with Rom Toolbox Pro, but it's not changing the Battery Icons I chose.

As an option, this a very cool statusbar icon creator you use from a PC to make a flashable zip. Some of the settings need to be tweaked to assign the proper names to the pngs. for example. the signal output has to be renamed tw_stat_sys_6_level_signal_ so it replaces the proper files on our phone. I also found success using a working, flashable zip that replaces the battery icons and just replacing the images in that file with the ones i made and rezipping. Its very easy, but seems more geared toward international S3's, so thats why it needs a couple tweaks. The options for colors and styles is pretty impressive!

Hello folks,
I am a big fan of fonts and always like to change them. However, it seems that changing the fonts on a Xperia device can be a bit of a hassle because there are like 50 different fonts and you don't wanna mess them all up.
So I personally use the famous Font installer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer&hl=de
Which usually works fine but in this case, there is a small (but very important) thing you have to do, to change most of the fonts.
Requirements: Root and some brainz
1. Install Font installer from the market.
2. In Font installer, click on the menu button and then on "preferences".
3. Click on "Select Fonts" and choose the following additional to the ones that are already checked: "SoMABold.ttf, SoMADigitLight.ttf, SoMARegular.ttf, SoMCSAns-Regular.ttf". I have no idea how these differ from the default android fonts, but you need to change these to see a big difference across your system.
MAKE SURE TO CLICK ON "BACKUP" BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR FONT! Then you can alway restore!
4. ATTENTION! DO NOT REBOOT RIGHT AFTER INSTALLING THE FONT.
Then, either install a font from their servers or an own font. I highly recommend the Helvetica Neue Font from iOS7, Caviardreams, or Open Sans Light. All very thin fonts which look great on your device with high DPI.
5. DO NOT CLICK ON "REBOOT NOW" AFTER INSTALLING THE FONT! Power off the device and turn it on manually. Rebooting within font installer can easily make you stuck in bootloop forever for some weird reason. Experienced it many times on my Galaxy Note, so just do it the safe way!
There you go, enjoy your new fonts all across system! Screenshot attached is the iOS7 Helvetica Neue Font.
Some additional info:
- You might not wanna change the default Clock Type because many fonts don't give much care about the looks of the digits. So if you wanna keep your default sony clocktype, do not change "SoMADigitlight.ttf" (obviously)
- Thin fonts look a lot better on the Sony UI than bold ones (like montserrat)
Greetings

Thanks for the information, I ALWAYS used Font installer so I was surprised when it did not work properly. Just wanted to let you guys know which .ttf files need to be replaced, couldn't find any hints anywhere eiter so I just tried those suspicious looking SoMa.ttf

Font installer or rom toolbox
Confused whether i should install font installer alone or rom toolbox
i am an xperia miro user. In my phone Clockopia.ttf and Robot- Regular.ttf are the only ticked ones. Moreover the fonts like SoMABOLD.ttf, SoMCSAns-Regular.ttf are not present in my phone. ( not preinstalled i guess)
So how will i change my fonts using font installer. I have tried many times, but it is not changing
You told to reboot manually but you did not tell how to get out of problem that I am stuck in after click Reboot Now
Thank you very much, it worked fine but my device does not have these: SoMABold.ttf, SoMADigitLight.ttf, SoMARegular.ttf only SoMCSAns-Regular.ttf and some parts just a few are not changed. Any idea why?

I heard when your device is stuck is because the font is not compatible with the device, i don't know if it's true or not. When i tried to change the font before this guide, my device booted normally but no changes were made. The only way i know to get out from a boot loop is to flash the ftf file in flashtool.
HELP!!!
So i followed the instructions as it says...picked a font clicked install and reboot...yippie...not...i noticed non of the font changed....except for the ones iinvoloved with html coding or webview....aka chrome and email....only problem is now all the letters look like candy canes and i cant figure how to get it back to normal.... please help.... htc on m8 vzw 5.0.1
Hello, i have installed custom A10 Q rom My question is, how to add new custom font to the system themes? I have missing Anaheim font in Q roms. Where is folder with fonts located and how to put manually new one. My device is rooted.
Thank You guys
/system/fonts?
There's plenty of Magisk modules that add fonts without modifying the system partition.
I don't know if there's a non-root way to add fonts.

I'm sure it depends greatly on the app. Android wasn't designed with arbitrary font availability.
I googled Magisk font Android and found lots of things. This one has a template if the font you want is not already packaged.

Anybody know the folder location of the OnePlus 9 Pro systemwide fonts? Want to overwrite them with a custom font using the default font names after backing them up.
Nevermind, I have finally found the way to change my fonts to a custom font! With a custom boot animation, I finally have my phone the way I want it!!!! Yippee!!!!
Be prepared for your lock screen clock to likely show squares cos half the fonts don't show : correctly
How did you changed the font ? You rooted the phone ?
