[ICS/JB/SENSE/AOSP][UPDATE 12/10] Full Font Packages

[LiquidSolstice]

UPDATE 1/10/13: I wouldn't use these on JB Sense or JB AOSP 4.2 (4.1.2 is fine). The font mappings have changed and I have not gotten around to figuring them out yet.



STOP.
Keep this zip handy. It is a FULL flashable backup of all Jelly Bean/ICS stock fonts. Seriously. Download it now and keep it. If anything goes wrong or you find you don't like the fonts, flash this and all your fonts go right back to the way they were.

Universal ICS/JB Stock Font Revert Zip: Download

Because we have 720p displays, I'm putting hide tags around the images so you don't get assaulted by large images which might bog you down all of a sudden. Just hit "Show Content" to see what they look like.

Anyways, without further ado, let's start with my all time favorite!

Segoe WP
- A derivative typeface of Segoe UI, which is the UI font of Windows 7. It's designed specifically for mobile devices and looks noticeably different, and, if you haven't guessed already, is the default font of Windows Phone 7 and 8.

Helvetica Roman
- This is the real deal. This isn't Helvetica Neue, this is the actual typeset that is famous. It looks wonderful on a high resolution device, and you have to try it!

There's lots more coming, it's just a time consuming process to properly rename the zips. Stay tuned, and enjoy!

Go with the regular. I promise it will be worth it. I takes out the unneeded gradients and smooths textures in JB that should have been from the start

Finally fixed the Segoe font package. Also, it looks like they work just fine with ICS based ROMs (you'll just end up with a couple insignificant font files), but try at your risk. I've been using them on the Viper4G ROMs.

When I find time, absolutely.

Sadly, there is no specific italic typeface for Segoe WP, and Android bootloops if I try to use the standard Segoe WP in place of the italic package. I may have to substitute the italic one with Segoe UI instead of WP.

Finally got around to fixing both font zips. They were missing quite a few files, and now I'm completely sure I've hit every single font file, whether you're using Sense or AOSP, ICS or JB.

Enjoy guys.

Yes.

I'm getting a dropbox error when clicking the links. Anything I need to change on my end?

EDIT: Ended up trying again after a few minutes and links worked. Sorry for any confusion.

Thanks for this.Works well on my Xperia S with CM10.

Thanks for the fonts. Love em. But its screws up 4.2 desk clock. Any way around this that you know of?

 

[LiquidSolstice]

Sadly, 4.2 and to an extent, Sense JB don't like having their fonts swapped out.

For 4.2 GAPPS (and that new condensed Roboto aesthetic), when I have time I'll look through the clock apk and see what font files it references. Once I know that, it should be fairly straightforward. There's also the shotgun approach of replacing every single system font.

It's also possible that the font itself is embedded in the APK file itself. That's not uncommon, but I would be very surprised if Google did that.

 

[AG206]

I'm assuming there's nothing to take out of the font zip so it doesn't talk to the clock, correct? It goes from app to system font not the other way?
