Is it possible?
for example if I would like to change to "Ubuntu" font.
do I have to remove the native font with the new one? Would the font show properly?
yes it is check this app:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/type-fresh-change-fonts-on-your-rooted-android-device/
also if the font that you mentioned, the ubuntu one is a .zip and it has inside the META-INF folder that means you can install that .zip from recovery.
i suggest you this fonts too:

Does Type Fresh work on stock 2.1 with root and busybox?
I tried Custom Font Changer but it failed to work.
I don't know. I have 2.3.3
Hello i have changed to font changer app for root users only because it has the screen display tool wich is very nice and works perfectly in my 2.1 custom ROM.
Once you run the app it will create a folder named .fontchanger in your sdcard, then extract the fonts (.ttf format for android) to that folder, go back to the app menu>> refresh and voila you will now see the fonts, install one it will reboot let it load completely give it 3 minutes after the boot and you are ready to go.
I repeat this app is for root users you need busy box too

Why cant the simpler way of pushing the font using adb work ???
You don't need ADB. Just copy the zip on the sd and flash it !
Try custom font changer
From the market.

Fontchanger Doesnt work.....Flashing the zip works for now ...
i tried downloading sony sketch onto Virus airborne rom but everytime i do it stop right away and doesn't flash.
has anyone successfully flashed a font using TWRP?
I haven't managed to flash a font but I do use a workaround.
Create a folder on your sd card named "Fonts" and download .ttf files straight onto your device.
Use font changer located here, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martino2k6.fontchangerlite, pick the font you want to use and reboot.
For some reason, not all .ttf fonts will be supported.
Better than nothing though.

I'm sure this has been discussed, but I cannot seem to find the thread...
My phone is rooted...I'm copying fonts into the system/font folder, but the new fonts are not showing up in the list. I am checking the folder to Mount R/W, so it lets me copy them.
Also, is ther a way for me to get Go Launcher to default to the system font? Anytime I change the system font, I also have to change it in Go Launcher for everything to match.
use app like font changer, font installer, it should works.

I have seen many users willing to change the icons of their android applications.For the willing users I have got small tutorial on how to change icons of any android applications.
Note:
This may not work in all application but as I've tried, it has worked for all of them.
Please use copy of your application in case of need of original apk files.
None of the files attached here like belongs to me.
I am not responsible for any unusable apk if messed up with.
Requirements:
1.Any android application(.apk) (you want to change icon of)
2.Icons file or any icons editing software (must be of resolution 36 X 36)
3.PC with windows
4.Sign APK
5.Your Android device or virtual machine to install
Steps:
1. Grab any android application (using applications like App Backup and restore or Titanium Backup) and send it to PC.
2. Right click that android application and navigate to open with option.
3. Select Winrar or Winzip.
4. Navigate it to "ApplicationName.apk\res\drawable-ldpi" folder.(There might be multiple icons in other folders too follow the same process to make it done.)
5. You can see file with name icon(.png).
6. Drag your own icon file of size 36 X 36 and drop it and replace if prompted (save) close your Winrar.
7. Now extract Auto-Sign.rar file to desired location and copy your apk (with changed icon ) to Auto-Sign\Auto-Sign folder (or read README.txt)
8. Run file sign (.bat)
9. Now you can install the apk manually by sending it to your SD Card.
For making you sure it really works I've changed icons of QQ player to VLC media player which is attached below.
BTW QQ player is the player almost like VLC it plays almost every video of any type.
Download are in order as listed below
1) Auto-sign Created By Dave Da illest 1
Optionals
2) QQ player with changed icon of vlc:
3) QQ Player by tencent original:

I have a Galaxy S III [International Version] and I'm running Paranoid Android [Based on CM 10.1]
I have busybox installed as well as root access.
I want to change the font of the Stock Android 4.2.2 keyboard and the default bold font of all the widgets on the launcher homescreen.
I have no clue which font maps to which so I simply went to Font Installer's preferences menu and selected any font with a "-bold" suffix to be replaced. All I ended up with was a boot loop.
Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?
Or is there something in addition to this that I should be doing before attempting a reboot?
And what font am I actually supposed to change?
I would recommend manually installing the font. Download the one you want and rename it to the font that you want to replace. (Ex: Roboto-Regular.ttf)
Then paste it into system/font and overwrite the existing one. Finally reboot

I thought of doing that too.
But for that I'd need to know which fonts I'm exactly going to have to replace and that's what's kind of put me at a standstill here
