And no, following the original instructions won't change the font in the browser, it just makes the newly installed fonts available. The change you just made to the UI was done by overwriting the default fonts.
Ahhh, now I see what you were referring to.

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
Hi there, any possibility of using this method to get bigger fonts throughout the UI - I'm more concerned by the lack of legibility. Thanks

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.

:)

Then restart the device. (A restart may not be required depending on the application, but in my case I was installing ProFont to use as an xterm font).
when I write mv [myfontname].ttf /usr/share/fonts
it says: mv: cannot rename 'myfontname.ttf': No such file or directory.

where do I have to put my fonts?
