Cydia package update caused system font change !

[cuillivo]

Hi everybody.

Just a few hours ago I got into the Cydia App in my iPod Touch (1Gen Firmware 2.2) and noticed some updates available. I confirmed the update of the packages and the ReSpring. After that, the system font changed to a not-very-attractive-to-me sort of Courier New font. Now my app labels, address bar in safari, email, settings and almost every text in the Touch is using that font. I can’t recall exactly all the packages updated but one of them was shell-cmds.

Somebody has experienced the same problem? I tried to sort this out using the Font Swap app but is hasn’t been successful. Any font I choose with Font Swap as System font doesn’t seem to work.

Help please.

Another Person with the same problem and tried the same things (respring and font swap), neither changed the font used for the icons

Anybody know how to fix this
Thanks

Hmm, my dialer stopper working as well after the update. Do you experience the same?I'm considering as restore, since in really need to call hopefully sbdy knows another way out?

Full reset dit not work either. Cheers

Short update: the full reset did fix the font problem

Now i'm only stuck with a crashing dialer ... anybody?

Hi,

I have the same problem as above. The entire system font have changed to Courier.The full reset (home+power) or installation FontSwap doesn't work either...

Anyone solved it yet?

Hi all,

Im new here, but i have found the problem....

I have used the Saurik theme from winterboard, and the update has changed the fonts in this theme.

Connect with ssh to the iPhone and then edit the following file.
(If have used another theme then edit the Info.plist from your theme)

/Library/Themes/Saurik.theme/Info.plist

Change the font settings from 'Courier New' back to 'Helvetica'.
For more details see the attached files.

Don't forget to restart the SpringBoard

Can the .plist files be accessed from the iPhone?
Can someone tell me how to do that? Thanks.

joearrieta, I use iPhone PC Suite software to access iPhone. You can also use iFunBox, or something else. Somebody use Total Commander with some plug-ins, somebody connect via SSH.

I've just suddenly discovered another solution:

go to your Settings, then RiP Dev, then "System Font", and turn System font to "Off". Go back, then go to "RiP Dev products", and restart SpringBoard. That's all.

Hi all

I'm new to jailbreaking etc and having just "spirited" my phone I've got the same font problem. Unfortunately I don't know what connecting via SSH is, and I tried looking in the Settings but can't find the "Rip Dev" option. . . Apologies for being a duffer, but can someone please offer a little guidance please?

*Update*

Using a combination of trial and error and guesswork, I eventually used Ifile and found the offending line that Serenity referenced. All sorted now, but I wouldn't have known where to start - Thankyou Serenity,
