Default [Q] How to change UI font

I see people have different fonts for UI elements. I download an app called flipfont but I can't find it in my drawer, is it now mytouch4g compatible? Or how do I do this?

What you need to do, is move the file to the system/fonts directory. You need to replace the DroidSans.ttf file with your font that you want (You have to name that font to DrodSans.ttf). Btw, you need to have root access .. also make sure the permissions on the file is the same as all the files in the fonts directory. Once I changed the font my phone started acting weird due to the font permissions not being set correctly. FYI I used root explorer. (Make a backup of DroidSans.ttf as well).
