Yes you read the subject correctly! And its very easy too! Before I start with the tutorial, take a look at the pics below, those are the ones I tried on my phone (6600 firmware v5).
(IMG:http://img91.exs.cx/img91/193/modern16uk.jpg) Modern Font (IMG:http://img68.exs.cx/img68/6797/tahoma33ei.jpg) Tahoma Also prior to installing this fonts, I suggest you install FExplorer on your phone. Ok so here goes... Step 1. Download the fonts HERE. Step 2. In the Zip file you will see + FontRemover.sis + tahoma.sis + modern.sis + set3v3.sis + mssans.sis + symbol.gdr + comic.gdr Step 3. Then send the FontRemover.sis to your phone and install it. Once installed, launch the application and it should ask you if you want to delete font. Click on Yes and it should tell you to reboot your phone. Do NOT reboot first. Step 4. Now send one of the font sis files, lets say modern.sis to your phone and install it to your C drive (your phone, NOT mmc). Once installed then reboot your phone. Step 5. When it starts, you should see the default fonts replaced by the ones you have just installed. Now I cant stress this more but you need to understand that you can only use ONE FONT at one time. If you want to use another font, you will have to go back to step 3 & 4. As for the .gdr files, you will need to do it this way. Step 1. Use FontRemover to remove the fonts. Step 2. Open FExplorer and goto C:\system and create a "fonts" folder as shown below. (IMG:http://img30.exs.cx/img30/9496/fonts1rm.jpg) Step 3. Send the .gdr file to your phone. Do not open it as it will say unknown file format. Step 4. Find the file in your mail folders (C or E:\system\mail\00001001_S\0-9, a-f) using FExplorer. Step 5. Copy or Cut the file and then paste it to the C:\system\fonts folder. Step 6. Exit FExplorer and then reboot you phone. So its that simple. In my testing, I found that some fonts like tahoma & mssans does not make much different (well atleast to me) as the modern font did. Good luck! Update: 23/12/04. Dont worry about losing your default font. Your original font is stored in your Z:\system\font folder, so if you decide to remove the font you have installed with font remover or by deleting d C:\system\fonts folder, its totally safe. Update:17/01/05 Now you can create your own fonts using the fonts on your PC with this Easy GDR Convertor. Just make sure you change the .zip extension to .exe before you click on it.
