Does Bytafont work on iOS 5.0.1 iPhone 4? I went to ios 5.0.1 after untether was released but there's still a couple tweaks or small things missing, so I went back to ios 4.3.3 where everything works.
-Bytafont wouldn't work or at least the "yikes" font I like didn't work.
-Springtomize wouldn't change the statusbar & lockscreen clock colors.
-Color keyboard kept losing its color everytime I rebooted.
-few others I missed in this knit picking list. Lol

I can't load modmyi repo it keeps giving me bad URL and won't load... So I don't kno if it works on iOS 5.0.1 yet.
Is there another repo that has bytafont?

FYI, I downloaded FontSwap today for my 5.0.1 jailbroken iphone4 CDMA. It seemed to install correctly, but when I tried to open the program it flashed a white screen and went back to my home screen (and thus wouldn't open). I decided to remove it since it wasn't working, but once I pressed 'return to Cydia' after removing it my phone froze and never came back to life. Got the eternal spinning wheel of death after a hard reset and now I am having to restore in Itunes so I can re-jailbreak and install everything all over again.

Use Bytafont instead, works like a charm.

I know this is a year old- I wanted to use Fontswap cos most of the fonts I found were for that. The only font that works are the backward "matrix" numbers for the clock in the LS.
I've tried adding system fonts, notes fonts, even dialer fonts to no avail. Maybe the dialer fonts won't show cos I'm using a dialer theme.
So bytefont is it? I'll try that
Great app, but they don't got the fonts I need. Any way of grabbing them from fontswap?Last edited by XweAponX; 02-24-2013 at 12:12 PM.
