Change System Fonts. - Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500

Hello my fellow G5 users!
I am wondering if anyone knows how I could change the system font on my G5 to something a bit more sexy like the new ICS font. If so, how would I do this and could it risk braking my phone? If it has huge risks then I won't bother obviously.
Thanks for your replies.

Edit-
Found out how to do it via downloading Font Switcher from the Android Market for free, and simply finding the font I want and I installed it. The ICS font Roboto is very nice!

Also try font installer, seems easier to use.

[Q] How to get Helvetica S font back?

I am using the Villain Lite 2.0 ROM but this has Helvetica S removed and I really could do with it back. My eye sight is not what it used to be.
You could try this font app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hongik.fontomizerSP&feature=search_result
Doesn't have Helvetica but it's got a lot of fonts you can try, should be a nice big one for those old eyes!
Yes, there was no Helvetica but there was Verdana which is my old favourite font, so it turned out to be a very good solution. These old eyes thank you.
Reference sight i an trialling this at the moment big button keyboard .

[Q] Font Size on Stock ROM

Hello,
My father has an EVO 3D GSM, he is still running Stock ICS. It's not even rooted.
Sometimes he has problems with his Evo3D because the font size is too small for him to read (although he normally just needs his glasses to read things like newspapers).
On my Sensation (Running Cyanogenmod9) I've got the option to change the font size from small to gigantic (maybe it's not called gigantic, but it looks like it).
I don't want to change his rom from stock to cm, cause his PC knowledge isn't that good and he always needs help if there is a change. So changes = bad.
Is there any way to change the font size on normal Sense 3.6 ICS on Evo3D?
It shouldnt be a problem if i root the device, but it should stay on stock rom.
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards
Fabi
You could try flashing a font with a larger typeface or at least an easier to read one, after rooting of course. Unfortunately, sense does not have a way to resize fonts afaik.

Do you have any example for such a font?
Or do you know a "hack" to change that settings parameter?

No, but the program I use is called Rom Toolbox Pro (available in the Play Store, there is a free version you could try). It requires root, but it allows you to flash fonts from a large list of available fonts and shows you a preview of the font first. You (or your father) could choose the one you like best.

[Q] Roboto font and it's use in applications on Google Play

Hey guys,
I was just thinking if I will develop some android application and I will put the Roboto font in it, is everything okay?
Or I do have to put the Apache License 2.0 which does come along the font somewhere to application too?
I'd appreciate any help, because I am kind of lost in it.
Thanks for your answers.

[Q] recamendations on theme or apps

i used the cf auto root and NH7 so still 4.4.4
im looking for some suggestions from the experienced users of either app or themes based on my needs.
im vision impaired and deaf so sound is whatever but vibrations are great if customized. as for vision, i work best with the dark themes. mainly like everything is a black nackground with light colored text. even google chrome. i can do it on my pc but not phone and i did try firefox but altho it worked, not very stable to use. i do tend to lean towards go launcher bc of editing how i like and still simple icons. nothing fancy or whatnot. but another app would be like a note pad where background is black, font is white but you can change the size of the font. ive tried blackbook app but its perfect if i could just change the font size. can anyone suggest any dark themes or apps that could benefit me? im not to ready to update to lollipop yet but if its the only way to get certain things i need, i will but for now i would like to try to stick with android 4.4.4. thank you in advance to any help and advice!

Hi , have you tried to change your font size ? Go to settings/device/font/font size and you can change your font size. Or you can change style also while your there 5 fonts that come with the device. Or you can go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752379 download and install this APK and you have 500 different fonts to choose from.
