Hi guys, I am a big fan of the Ubuntu font, and have created a flash-able .zip. I am currently running Paul Obrien's Jr5 ROM, and it seems to be working fine.

Since it is just replacing the stock Roboto files, it could work on any ROM, but I have only tested it on Jr5.

for complete ubuntu font goodness, i modified the file attachment above changing also droidsans/bold to ubuntu/bold. be warned though that this will change all your fonts to ubuntu system-wide (ie, headings on the default browser or in play store will be rendered in ubuntu fonts, unlike previous mod above). cheers!

I'd like to try this out, but is there a revert in case I don't like the change? Is ROM reflash the simplest revert?

hmm, OP should have made this first. anyway, attached file should work for reverting. haven't tested it though

Really like the font mod. Tested the revert as well for others and it does indeed work. Thank you.

Would this work on other devices? Like my skyrocket with cm10.1 4.2.2

Looks a bit like the fonts on my ZX Spectrum in the 80s :D

No, seriously: why exchange the ergonomical Roboto font with such ugly typography?

Thanks! I'm not rooted, but just unzipped your file and put the ttf files in my font folder on sd card, and can use them in ssLauncher anywhere.
