INFO
All the .zip files in this thread are free and will replace all the default Roboto fonts in your device. Root is required before proceeding. These zips have been tested to work on my stock 5.1.1 first-gen Nexus 7. These *should* work on any Lollipop-running devices. There are no lockscreen bugs for these zips! If you do find an error, please comment below and I'll get right on it ASAP :)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Click on Download beside the font name to download
  2. Reboot your device into Recovery mode
  3. Flash the zip file
  4. Reboot into system!

REVERT TO ROBOTO
Click on this link to download the original Roboto redesigned for Lollipop.

REQUESTS
I'll slowly add requested fonts, as long as they follow my set guidelines:

  1. They haven't been done to flashable zips by anyone else
  2. They are known to have, at minimum, the following weights: Light, Regular, Medium/Semibold, Bold (more weights the better!)
  3. All weights must have their respective italic/oblique styles.
I'd prefer if you guys would choose something from the more famous foundries, but that's fine. XD Also if you have the files with you at hand, please PM them to me separately and as much as possible have them in TTF files. OTF is fine but conversion tends to ruin stuff.

Any chance of having this as a CM12 APK theme engine as well ?

Could you add the "Text" variant of the San Francisco font, please?



The "Display" variant works fine but i'd like to give the Text one a try


Hi! I can't find a text variant that looks proper. If we're talking about the San Francisco Compact and SF, I'll see what I can dig up :)

Nope, sorry. :(

I have the original SF otf fonts, both UI & Compact with their respective display, text, and rounded variants. You should have used UI Display in your SF font, as imo it looks way better than compact for a phone. I use Compact as my condensed font.

By themselves, the fonts aren't very practical to use. The UI Display variant's letter-spacing is too small in smaller types, while UI Text's letter-spacing is too wide.

What Apple does is the font's characteristics change depending on the type. The default font is UI Text. For fonts larger than 19pt, the system swaps the typeface to the Display variant.

The tracking is also size-specific, which they don't do by themselves and have to be modified by the system. If we want to use the font without modifying them, we have to live with the non-standard tracking on them.


edit: i decided to use San Francisco UI Text again and scaled the letterspacing down to San Francisco's standards on my system. I also changed any styles that use sizes larger than 20sp to use the display variant along with a scaling larger letterspacing along with enabling the discretionary ligature.

Hi, do you mind sharing both UI and Compact styles with me? I'd love to update the SF I've offered here. ?
