Cant flash fonts through rom manager - Nexus S Themes and Apps

Hello.. I have downloaded font zips in Rom Manager on my Nexus s with ICS 4.0.3...
But when i reboot in recovery and flash, it says that it has been completed, and i reboot, but its the same old roboto font anyway..
Why? anyone knows it?

It's because of the updater script. Our mount points are different
There should also be some symlinks for the roboto fonts. I can upload a correct META-INF folder in a few and you can replace the one that came with the zip

As an alternative, you could also grab Font Changer from the market.

Is it possible to get Segoe WP 7 font and helvetica font for ics then? I have downloaded the zip from rom manager, but its not possible to extract the fonts from there?

Yes, definitely possible.
Actually, what might be an easier route for you is, download Font Installer by JRummy. (Market).
It comes with a whole bunch of fonts including Segoe (called zegoe there) and Helvetica (Helvetiker or something). There, it'll let u preview and apply.
Fergies method is the best, and gives you most control, but try this if you're not comfortable yet finding the rom manager download, opening with 7zip and replacing folders.

nice fonts, and how to use them

Hi,
How to use custom fonts on the HTC hero?
And what are some nice ones?
http://www.dafont.com/go-boom.font
that's a nice font. just replace the fonts beginning with "DroidSans" in "/system/fonts/"
(you will need to rename the font with the DroidSans file names)

installing downloaded fonts

What would be the best way to install downloaded fonts from say dafont.com? If it makes a difference I am on Apex 10.1 with the mattedblues theme.

I must be missing something here, I installed the app and made the folder it asked me to and threw the fonts into the folder (and true type fonts specifically), how can I make it though so that it pops up in the list when I go to Display > fonts ? All that stays there is just the default ones that came with the rom. And then when I hit on apply it does it through the whole phone.
I was hoping that I could do is have the options of more fonts when I use an app for say minimalistic text and what not.
you shouldnt need an app. just a folder.
was the folder in /system/fonts/ from the root folder? NOT sdcard/fonts or sdcard/external_sd/sytem/fonts? BAD!
drop truetype fonts in system/fonts (root required) and reboot!

You can use Font-Installer-Root-Full_v1.0
Install and choose font! reboot => Done! (Very very beautiful font )
The legitimate way, is to make them into apps that FlipFont can read. Anything else requires overwriting the default "droidsans" fonts.
Or modding whatever system files tell the phone to look for droidsans. Even then it might cause problems since those are not digitally signed, and end user (non-dev phone) versions of Android don't run unsigned (as in not from a reputable source) apps/files.

Bad idea.
Unless you want 100000 fonts on your phone.
Just extract this package to your sdcard. And you can use it almost everywhere.
You can use these fonts in your favorite operating system Linux, Mac OSX, or Windows as well.

I am reuploading now. I split the fonts pack into 3 parts which makes downloading easier They are each 500MB huge
Last package is uploading now
have fun guys. Now unlocked for everyone! Sorry for the issues.
GREAT WRK
keep it up
THANKs
Thanks I will!
I was just asking because there is a collection of flashable zips for fonts on another thread.
Best place to keep these is on your SDcard. Just think. If you flash a new ROM you have to install all those fonts again... You don't want that do you?
Now you have plenty of fonts to choose from. I suggest pick your favorites and make your own update.zip
My file statistics show 200 downloads yesterday

Here is how I changed my font from stock to Roboto
1. Root your device

2. download your Font onto your tab
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/design/Roboto_Hinted_20111129.zip (roboto - ics 4.0 font)
3. install any font changer app, run, select font, BOOM delicious new font appears
Roboto is amazing. Love this font. I use it in all my apps now. Looks 100% better on 99% of interfaces (for some reason looks a bit squished in gmail)
does anyone know how to change the font of the clock in the status bar? I hate the font that Samsung is using.

if you change trough update.zip i think (CMIIW) thats dangerous but if you know that samsung default has font changer in setting but the one i dont understand is how to add more cause i had copy and paste into system/font with root exp but no luck and the font not showing on list
Just a quick update on what I have recently found is the best solution to getting Roboto on this device.
Don't use a font changing app like Font Changer or Font Installer, etc. Specifically those two don't overwrite the default fonts correctly & that's why you will see weird looking fonts sometimes (gmail app for example).
Best & Easiest Solution (requires root):
1. Download this rar file.
2. Extract the three .ttf files and copy over to your device.
3. Copy them to the system\fonts and overwrite the originals (I will give you a link to the originals).
4. If you want to go back to stock, download this file and do steps 2 & 3 again.
Anyone tried this on ICS? I did it but saw zero change

Changing the Font

Does anyone know how I can change the font?
Tried downloading the iFont app, getting it to see my custom font (just Google's Product Sans) and create a font theme. The Themes Manager recognised it but then said it wasn't compatible. Asked it to use anyway as is and in a compatible version but the font still hasn't changed.
Tried downloading the EMUI enabler and that seemed to enable fonts but it doesn't recognise any apart from the iFont theme.
Thanks

However it appears you cannot simply drop the TTF file in the Themes folder and the app recognise it.
