Changing Fonts

[phatcamaro]

Alright ive been fooling around with the new font swap app, and winterboard font themes, but with font swap is limited on the font selection, and using winterboard seems to change all fonts instead of just the clock or the system.

How do i get more font options, can i copy the winterboard ones into the fontswap app somehow (tried just straight copy to the folder, but that doesnt work). I want to keep the system font i have, but i saw a clock font that i want but it is not in the fontswap app, nor winterboard.

There is an easier way. DOwnload teh evaluation copy of High-Logic FontCreator. Open the stock iPhone font and choose "format", "naming" copy down all the info. Now open the ttf file for the font you want. Go to "format" "naming" and change all the info to what you wrote down for the stock fonts. (this is the metadata referred to) Save the file using the stock name (ie helvetica for system font). The rest of the instructions are good regarding folder structure. WOrks like a charm for me.

I dont have time today, but I'll try and grab some screen shots and post them this week.
