Changing font typeface

[redheadplantguy]

Hi all. I use front changer to change regular roboto typeface.
What I would like to do is change a font over to a bold typeface so I can replace fonts for things like unread email and such. Anyone know of a program, app, or techniques?
Thanks.

would it be possible to rename another font "-bold.tff" and then use that font to replace roboto bold?

There's a free font manager app out there. I'm not that well versed with fonts, but it works fine. Be careful messing with replacing fonts in Android. If you replace one and Android doesn't know how to read it, your tab won't start.

Yeah. The main one is the "Bold" typeface. A bootloop occurs. All of the font changer apps just change the "Regular" typeface, which still leaves some things displayed in Roboto bold. Ugly. Doesn't match. Trying to replace the bold safely.

Words of Caution...

Don't know if this is relevant, but I used a font changer app to switch the font to one that I had used on my gTablet previously with no problems. The result was a bricked Infinity. Fortunately, I could get it replaced. But... It failed to boot, going into a boot loop, until the tablet begun to get warm to the touch. The dev's solution to the problem did not make sense, since you could not get the device started properly to do the steps they advised. So... from now on, I'm sticking with the stock tablet... font and all.
