Beautiful! Thanks!

Selecting fonts gives an error code (W01, DW02 etc.), but when I click 'ok' the fonts install anyway (for Sense that is, not WM)

- Error Code: W01, D W02 when selecting a font
- Device: HTC HD2
- WM OS Version : 6.5
- ROM: 1.66 stock ROM

Try this:

1) Install the "KD-Restore Defaults" CAB from Post #2.
2) Soft Reset
3) Uninstall the "KD-Restore Defaults" CAB
4) Soft Reset
5) Try to apply new fonts to WM in KD-Font

NOTE: Do NOT uninstall KD-Font during this process.

Post back how it works!

Downloaded or installed? Simply downlaoding the CAB does not install it. Try searching your phone for the CAB and the tap on it to install. If you did install it already, it should create a shortcut in your Start menu. If not, the app can be started by running the "KDFont.exe" in the "\Program Files\KDFont" directory.

Let me know if you still need help!

OOPS!, Wrong info.

Sorry, I meant to say was that I installed it on my hd2 and was not able to find it anywhere. I check my start menu, search phone, and could not find it. I have a stock 2012 rom. I registers on my installed applications in settings though.

Strange that it did not install the Start Menu shortcut. You can manually start it by going into your File Explorer. Go to "Program Files > KDFont" and click on the "KDFont" item. That will start the application. If the "KDFont" folder does not exist, try uninstalling and re-downloading the CAB as it may have been corrupted during download.

Okay, I'll try and respond back

Thanks for the quick response, I'm anxious to get this running.

Works now, Thank you

Unchecked the fire download box. Great job, very professional looking like CHT. Should be on every device. I don't know if size settings would be too difficult but that would be awesome.

I'm glad to hear you got it up and running!!! Changing the size is very time consuming, though it may be a possibility down the road to try and scale some of the fonts up/down to better fit the UI.

Thanks for the feedback!

Is there an easy way to add new fonts? I see the .ttf just have 4 digits for names. Where are these defined for the program? Thanks for your work.

panzol · Jul 9, 2010

thank you...This is an application that I want

Yeah I'm in teh process of updating the app to be able to update the font libreary from a remote server. Then the user will be able to DL just the font(s) they want to use. They will also have the option to purge any fonts they no longe want so they don't just sit there taking up space on the phone/SD card.

Once I get this implemented, I have a feeling the font requests are gonna go through the roof... I've got a library of about 60 fonts ready to rock as soon as I have everything working as it should!

On a side note: 185 DLs so far and only a couple minor bugs!!!

Hello kliptik,

this is a very nice tool, no problem here.

I'm wating for some bigger / bolder fonts similar to Comic Sans.

To do a good job
THANKS

- Error Code: W01, D W02 when selecting a font
- Device: HTC HD2
- WM OS Version : 6.5
- ROM: 1.66 stock ROM

Error #1:
I have the same Error Code (W01) when applying the font for both Sense & WM together. It said that the Sense font is applied OK but the WM font. However, after the phone restarted, I check everything and the font is applied in both Sense & WM (menus, SMS text, etc.)

Error #2:
I set the option to separate the fonts for Sense and WM, then apply 2 different fonts. The error popped up and it said DW02.

Used this advice from you and the result:
- Error W01: fixed
- Error DW02: still there
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suggestions:

The text name for CHT shortcuts: when it's too long, for example:"Resco File Explorer" it becomes "Resco Fil..." when I applied a new font. The default font is shown in 2 lines when the name is long.

My TMOUS-HD2: stock ROM 2.10, Co0kie Home Tab 1.8.5

I will test KDFont more times and report later if bugs found. This program has a bright future, congrats and good luck for your project!

Cheers!

Just a quick suggestion: instead of maintaining available fonts on a remote server, why not allow user to browse for fonts locally? That way we could use any font we want and just copy it over to a location on our phones and point the program there. I imagine all that is needed is the .ttf file unless there's something i'm missing.

Thanks and keep up the great work

Thanks for the feedback! I will check into this and see what could be causing the problem. For reference, have you changed the fonts on the device at all before?

Unfortunately it's not quite as simple as dropping the *.ttf files into the directory. They have to be modified so that device will properly recognize them. I've tried jsut doing a cut and paste as you suggest, but it doesn't work properly. Hence the reason I went in he direction of the server. Once it's set up, I'll be able to punch out font requests pretty quickly and get them out to the public.

I'v got the code almost completely updated to be able to update the library from the server, and download fonts on demand. I'm hoping to release this to my BETA Team within the next week or so. *fingers crossed*

Thanks for the support!

Ah ok understood! I figured there was more than likely a good reason why you wanted to go the server route. Good luck, can't wait
