Just a warning to everyone. For some reason, "Font Installer" is causing boot loops now. It killed my tablet. Thankfully, best buy exchanged it cause it overheated afterwards. But, loop on new infinity too. Don't know what's causing it. I recovered with soft brick method. But first tablet couldn't be recovered.

UPDATE:
from Dev.
If your font changes are causing bootloops, chances are that you are overwriting the wrong fonts. Please open the Font Installer and click Menu > Preferences > Select Fonts.
If you’re running Android 4.0 ICS, make sure Roboto-regular.ttf is selected
If you’re running Android 3.X or earlier, make sure DroidSans.ttf is selected
If you’re running MIUI, make sure Arial.ttf is selected
tried this morning and works.

I can personally vouch that this happens. I'm was caught by this exact same problem. I too was able to return it. Now, I've been scared straight. No rooting, no unlocking, no nothing unusual. Fortunately, the Infinity does all that I want it to do. So, I'll have to wait a while, until my nerves calm down before I venture once again into the wonderful world of hacking.
Ironically, I just got the update for 4.2 yesterday. So, I don't really need to poke around where I shouldn't.:crying:

You guys shouldn't be messing around with your toys if such a small issue cause you to return them. There's always a way to fix things. Backups are important and so is having a copy of the latest firmware or favorite ROM in hand in case of emergency. I've had the font issue also, not a big deal. Maybe you should tinker with a older device to get some knowledge first before you brick your Infinity

Which font should be selected from the list?
I am using Xperia Go ,rooted and installed CWM recovery.
I had ticked all the fonts in the list(because i wanted to change all my phone fonts to a custom one) and then it just boots endlessly,but thanks to CWm,i restored my backup and then it started.
So please can you tell me which fonts to be ticked?

I agree if such small issues cause you to return your tablet then I wouldn't be messing around with it to much. Should also always have backups or a custom/stock ROM ready to flash if something goes wrong.

Hello,
I have root and a locked bootloader on my Droid Razr Maxx HD so as far as I know with my n00b knowledge, I cannot make a nandroid backup. I want to install a font and I know nothing should go wrong but is there anyway I can be sure font installer works with my phone? or do i just need to be sure to select the correct fonts to change?
Thanks for the help.
I have an iball Andi 4.5z jelly bean 4.2.2 OS with root access but my phone is not rebooting after installing font installer. I even can't remount system directory to read/write in command prompt. I've browsed many forums for the solution but can't find any and the ADB command line given in other forums is not working so plz help. Solutions needed urgently. Thank you
I'm running the 4.3.1 CM 10.2 ROM for LG Phoenix (p505). Anything other than Clocktopia, AndroidClock, AndroidClock_Highlight, and AndroidClock_Solid will brick my device. This is extremely frustrating as I have restored my phone 5 times because this results in a brick.Hey Friends,
