if you're like me and hate the provided fonts by lg, than here is a zip i had thrown together for my htc one m8 and flashed on my g3 last night, it worked fine. it replaces all the stock fonts with roboto condensed and looks great! i had not seen a flashable system wide font replacement yet so i figured i would put this here for anyone who is not a fan of the default fonts! as usual always make a nand before flashing just in case but i have flashed it on stock ROOTED and on ZoneROM for t-mobile without any issues. enjoy!

Any way of doing this without having to flash? Right nw I think the Tmo version is the only one with an unlocked bootloader and can flash things via cwm/twrp

unfortunately I myself am at a loss aside from using a font swapping app from the playstore which all require root but I have seen those causing bootloops in other threads :( i was not sure about custom recoveries on other variants yet so i just posted this here for the sake of sharing it on the general forum as opposed to only the t-mo. hope you guys get recoveries soon!

Thanks for the font - worked great on D851. It replaces the "NewSmartGothic" font with Roboto. Doesn't change the name of the font, just changes the font itself.

They do, you just have to get them from the LG SmartWorld "store." It can be found, among other places here: http://us.lgworld.com/web.main.dev

There's also a place for people to submit apps, so I'm assuming fonts can be submitted as well.
