[CM10] JB 4.2 Font

[bassem.mohsen]

Hey all,
this my first flashable zip file, and don't worry i installed it to my device first

one of the things I don't like about JB 4.1.2 is the Robto font, but I've read that Google improved it a little bit in JB 4.2
If you look closely at the animated GIF below, you'll see that text in 4.2 is slightly bolder with smoother edges and improved kerning (letter spacing).

find the flashable font in the attachment, and tell me if you can recognize any difference. :silly:

yup... the 4.2 font look kind of nice... danke

Now I can understand why I didn't see the differences
i'm running 160 DPI, font is too small to tell the difference

Alright, Enjoy it

 

[edan1979]

yup... on 160 wont realize the different...

Same on my 160dpi small screen I see the difference :good:
Fonts are slightly cleaner but:
- lockscreen clock don't use 4.2 numbers. It's still old fonts.
Over the height of the display area increased (creating an empty area below the numbers) and moves down the rest of the display area ...

JB 4.1.2 CM10

JB 4.1.2 CM10

I can make you a flashable 4.1.2 fonts again if you didn't take a nandroid backup.

I have the same version JB 4.1.2 CM10.
and the clock on the lock screen requires certain 4.2 lock screen, and 4.2 lock screen widgets (which we don't have yet).

"Over the height of the display area increased "
can you take a screenshot of this issue , I'm on 160 dpi and everything is just fine.

Thanks for this, works well, although I'd recommend removing thin and light Roboto, look horrible on the 7.7

i would suggest you to try fonts installer from google play, there's really some beautiful fonts, really bold and clear on the tab.
roboto slim isn't that bad, but it need higher pixel density to become smoother on the screen, and our tab is only 198 ppi.
