[Guide] Change your iPhone 4 System Fonts
Fontswap doesn't work for system fonts but you can still change them!
1. SSH into your phone and navigate to /System/Library/Fonts/Cache
2. Rename HelveticaNeue.ttc to HelveticaNeue.ttc.backup
3. Copy the HelveticaNeue.ttc font file from one of the folders linked below to /System/Library/Fonts/Cache
4. Respring your phone and you're done!
Warning - if you don't know how to use SSH do not mess around with this.
These fonts have been formatted for iPhone 4 use only.
There are 16 different fonts in the link below.

Do you know if downloading an old font for fontswap and doing those same steps will work on a 3GS on 4.0.1?
We're all just toymakers in the game of life.

I found a font from iPhoneruler called Sansation that I want. It says its (iOS4 / iPad) compatible. Does that mean its "iPhone 4" compatible? I want to install it on my iPhone 4, but I don't want to screw up my phone by mistake.

The fonts have to be formatted specifically for the iPhone 4 resolution so don't try this with just random font files.
