Segoe UI (Zune HD/WP7 font) update.zip

---

I missed the Zune font I had on my Nexus One and I generally prefer the look of the Segoe UI on mobile devices - Microsoft spent some good money on this particular font design. I've had this update.zip for a while and it works perfectly on 2.3. IMHO, the font looks gorgeous on this 4" SAMOLED display. I think you might agree.

Download to root of SD card, and flash in recovery (yes you need to be rooted/have custom recovery). Make a Nandroid before you apply so you can easily switch font back. Enjoy!

screen shots?

Screenshots added. Sorry, forgot that everyone might now know what the font looks like...

Awesome thanks for this I love that font! Quick Question though, what does it take to get a font like Myriad ported over to be usable on 2.3 ?

I got installation aborted lol

Should we rename to update.zip and flash as an update? Obviously utilizing clockwork 3.0...

Same here. I just adb pushed to /system/font.
Looks good.

no need to rename the zip or disable sig verification. You may have to mount /system before flashing, however.

ranxoren, to get different fonts into the phone, just do as ^above and push the fonts directly into /system. Back up your old ones just in case. Most opentype fonts should work, but you might be missing some special characters. Myriad should be okay though.

I cannot get this to work either way. First I mounted /system then flashed and still got installation aborted. Then I extracted both .ttf files and did "adb push DroidSans.ttf /system/font" and pushed both files this way. Then I rebooted and nothing changed.

I noticed there are other font files in these folders, should I delete them or is it simply something I'm missing?

What memo app is that?

And, is it just me or does his screenshots show the normal stock font? I compared with my Nexus S, even typed out his example text, it's exactly the same.
Only difference I can see is the P loop is bigger, the & sign the bottom loop is bigger, and the top of t is different. other than that looks almost exactly the same.
