Yap. Ive used it but if you want the manual way but better. Coz doing it manually lets you install a font u really want unlike fontomizer it just have presets

Use "Custom android font switcher", works like a charm.
What more, it has no bugs like fonts slightly placed higher than its supposed to be. It is the only app i came across (pardon me, I'm not a pro in this topic, just my experience) which replacess each and erey font in your phone, even the keyboard fonts will be changed.

Default Some wont work on custom roms

HERE's a SMALL GUIDE FOR CHANGING FONTS MANUALLY - ROOTED

1. download the font you want. (*.ttf)
2. make 3 copies of that font.
3. rename them by the ff:

DroidSans.ttf
DroidSans-Bold.ttf
Clockopia.ttf

4. Go to system/font and replace the fonts namely the ones stated above
**i mean delete the old fonts named DroidSans.ttf, DroidSans-Bold.ttf, Clockopia.ttf annd replace them with the one you renamed.

5. reboot. and VOILA
