I looked and found nothing on changing fonts on here, so I'm posting this.

Is there any way to install .ttf fonts on the phone without rooting the phone?

I see the phone has FlipFont, but I didn't see a flipfont folder when I connected phone to pc to put new fonts on phone. Android market has fonts you pay for, but I want some that I have on my computer.

Thanks

I don't think that you can install fonts used on your PC to your phone.  Most if not all of the Flipfonts listed in the Market are for sale, but you can install fonts on your phone free of charge and you don't need to root your phone to do it.

You will need to do several things, first go to Android Central and get the Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine (ACWM).  You can use this to sideload applications without rooting your phone.  Once you download it, extract the files so you can run them:

Next, go to XDA Developers forum and download flipfonts.  I downloaded one with about 35 fonts in it, but I am linking to one that has about 70 fonts.  Look for the link under the Extras heading:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940514

Here is a post showing what some of those fonts look like:

Now, extract the fonts into a folder on your PC.

Switched your phone to debug mode (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging).
Run ACWM and connect your phone to your PC.  You will have to choose each font you want to install.

Happy fonting.

Hi guys!

It's my first post in this forum and i think i found the solution to my problem. I have a Galaxy s II and also want to install a font without rooting my phone but i can't choose the .ttf file from my pc. I have installed the ACSWM but it lets me choose only .apk files. Can you help me please?

Thanks in advance!
