Changing fonts on the Galaxy S was very easy via the phones' own settings. How can you add/user new fonts on the Atrix?
thanks
Rafa
Nobody...?...I thought this was going to be an easy one....
What I did was pulled the fonts I liked that I ripped from UOT Kitchen and created a CWM flash-able zip for the font. I'm using Comfortaa now on the atrix.

Thanks for that link, and googling for me.
If I were to use one of those fonts, would there be a way to get back to the stock font? If I were to flash another theme, would it automatically load the stock font?

A nandroid backup should do the trick, but maybe you don't want to re-backup everything... I wonder if there is a TiBu system setting that contains the fonts that you could backup and restore data later?

Of course. DroidSans is the default font. Just download it from that link with the 300 flashable zips and flash it if you want to go back to stock.

This would be overkill It would work fine, but would be overkill. Just download DroidSans and flash that if you want to go back to stock.
Well another way, is to use Root Explorer or something similar and replace the fonts manually through there. Its not that hard and you could also back them up like that. Just have to make sure permissions are correct.

[SOLVED] Flashable Font Packs - Won't Install
Took me a while today to get it down, but works great!
BTW you can't flash with CWM. I tried every possibility on Atrix today with Tenfars. My guide does however work.
Sent from WinBorg 4G via XDA premium app

Well, it seems those CWM packages aren't compatible with the Atrix.
However I created my own package, and I successfully changed my font to Choco Cooky.
ChocoCooky CWM.
Here you can see how the font looks like.
Also I made one with the stock fonts, just in case:
Stock Fonts CWM.
If you don't like Choco Cooky, just download one pack from this thread, extract it, and replace the fonts in my CWM package with the ones you like.
Have fun ^^.
<edit> Edited to be nice! Please next time read my full post and see that I already said those font packs will not work with Tenfars CWM. Also, it's not the font packs which are not compatible with the Atrix, it's Tenfars CWM which is not compatible with the font packs. My instructions after much trial and error state to extract the font files from the font pack zips.

You're wrong. I changed my fonts through Tenfar's CWM. You're the one who should fully read the posts. Just flash one of my CWM updates and you'll see they work perfectly fine.
Maybe you didn't properly edit the CWM updates.
Think about it, if we can flash themes through CWM why we wouldn't be able to do the same with fonts?.
And to clarify a bit more, I said anyone can use one of my CWM updates as a template to flash any font they like just by replacing the fonts inside them.
I don't know why you got upset (I read your last post before you edited it). Maybe because I successfully created a CWM update to do this, and you didn't?.
Try the Choco Cooky one, and you'll see it works perfectly fine. Then you can flash any font you want through CWM.
Also, while your method might work for you, its a pain. CWM is allways cleaner, quicker and easier.

Which recovery is that youre using?
it says its 3.0 recovery and the .zip is signed diferently something like that. lol
i suggest you use the font changer app from the market.. when i tried to flash a font pack it didnt take.. most likely do to different file structure.. so unless u know how to change the path the zip installs to use font changer...
like someone said above it will hang when it says its rebooting just pull battery and all is well... currently using darkstar coconut font

Do some kind of backup. But I suppose nothing too detrimental would happen, as DG's rom is based on stock.
His is, and I do have a backup. Everything is looking good so far, and as an added bonus I got my battery percentage in the stock battery. Whoop whoop! lol

Yup it is all about stock as I mentioned in the post...I did it for those that really want the CRT but don't want or need a whole lot of changes to their phones. The ones that want the extensive mods probably already know or are already are doing this stuff in their own ways. Hope you can enjoy though.

From the looks of it yes...GTG looks like he is using the stock stuff too! You can always just flash one of the battery mods that eep2378 built or you can decompile and incorporate a mod in with your CRT mod like I did using the Crysis battery into the build.
sweetboy02125 said:

It will, because in the framework you flash is its own set of battery icons. To implement CRT and keep your mods, you'd have to make the changes to your framework.
Adding CRT screen off is pretty easy.
First step is to get your framework-res.apk that you want modded.
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk C:/<whereeveryouwantit>
Second step is to decompile it. With apktool, there are plenty of tutorials on how to do this.
Third is to go to the folder which apktool created and navigate to /res/values/bools.xml
Fourth is to find the line of code that says:
Code:
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">[B]true[/B]</bool>
...and change it to false.
Fifth is to recompile the apk, tutorials on how to do this are also online.
You'll end up with a resources.arsc which you just have to add to your framework-res.apk that you wanted to be modded.
Sixth, push it back to your phone
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
Restart and it should work perfectly.

My source is the Android 4.0 SDK via XDA forums. Im sure you can find the font on almost any Android website/blog/forum, their source will prob be the same (SDK). Anyways since Google developed this font for Android, they should be the ones to get the credit, not the sites you mentioned.

Here you go guys! The actual Roboto system fonts straight from the Android 4.0 System Dump! Here is how to install them:
Install "Font Changer" from the android market [ROOT REQUIRED!]
Then start it up once, so it can make its .fontchanger folder
Then extract the attached zip file and copy the fonts to the .fontchanger/backup folder on your sd card
Restart your tab!
Open font changer, goto advanced tab, and change DroidSans and DroidSans Bold to the attached ones.
Italic and Bold Italic are attached too.

Well those three other threads didn't have the TTF fonts. Just a ****ty apk installer and a flashable zip which didn't include the legit roboto fonts. Also mine includes the italic and bolditalic which the other ones didn't. Maybe you should be more informed before you post. Just an idea. Thanks.

Try to download Terminal Emulator from the market, then type su and hit enter. If it shows an # on the next line you have root, if it doesn't, you're not rooted (anymore).

Thanks for the method. I have the Samsung Galaxy Player 5 and the flash methods don't work on this device yet since there isn't a Clockwork Recovery for it yet.
I got tired of seeing the white and grey keyboard and didnt wanna use the Gingerbread keyboard cause of the small buttons. So I themed the stock one a little bit. Thought I would share it with the community.
Using root explorer, copy to /system/app. Change permissions to rw-r-r, reboot to xrecovery, clear cache and dalvik cache, Reboot, Enjoy

added odexed version - not a flashable zip. Use same method from above

Change the name of it to the name of your keyboard before you move it and it will over write.

Well most phones already have the stock Eclair keyboard or GIngerbread keyboard. My rom is Gingerbread 2.3.7. So I know this will work if anyone already has either keyboard in their ROM. Ive swapped around to all three keyboards. All worked. and I know the icons are hdpi. They look a lot better on my phone then mdpi. And they get resized by android anyways. I left the characters bigger so they can be seen better. Only notice two characters that hang over a litte bit. Neither causes any issues though. BUT, I guess I could change the icons to mdpi and resize the characters if anyone wants it done.
Thanks for the feedback
