like you couldnt just make one thread and put them all in there instead of all this nonsense?

**brinzei** · 10-20-2008, 02:06 PM

I considered that, but 1) there is a limit of 10 attachments to a posting, 2) why mix apples and oranges, and 3) you are just being rude. I hope somebody else will see the logic of posting different things in different threads.

Keeping threads relative to a specific topic helps facilitate the search process.

LIKE FONTS FOR 2.1

and I wasnt being rude, I just like organization-

what was rude was you cluttering the forum with fonts.

Its like me posting 10 different SMS BALLOONS IN 1O different threads...
theres just no need, theres too much repeated nonsense as it is.

done ranting..

I downloaded the file and I'm wondering which one exactly is the Android font...the iPhone typically uses the Helvetica/Helvetica bold files

Thank you brinzei!!! It worked out beautifully! I just took every file and threw them into my fonts folder. It replaced every font correctly to Droid Sans... ie. Android's font.

Outstanding work, again, thank you so much.

All sans-seriffed fonts are replaced by Droid Sans, all seriffed with Droid Serif. Courier with Droid Sans Mono, LockClock with Computerfont, MarkerFelt with Droid Sans. All from the Android SDK which is freely available on the project's site (note to self: using the fonts in this manner constitutes a violation of the SDK's license: "3.3 [...] you may not copy (except for backup purposes), modify, adapt, redistribute, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or create derivative works of the SDK or any part of the SDK. [...] you may not load any part of the SDK onto a mobile handset or any other hardware device except a personal computer, combine any part of the SDK with other software, or distribute any software or device incorporating a part of the SDK.").

The GUI uses Helvetica, so you may want to replace just that one (Helvetica*.ttf, not HelveticaNeue*.ttf) if you want to keep the original fonts for other applications and surfing the net.

Experiment, but make backups.

I know it's an old thread but I hope somebody can help me. I don't understand his instructions. Fonts are replaced by Droid fonts...but the zip file doesn't contain any "droid" named font. What should I replace or do I have to download some more stuff?
