Font formats for SGS3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

First off this is my first android device, so I'm a little confused. Through google searching everyone seems to be recommending an app that requires root for changing fonts, however the stock sgs3 can change fonts itself, so first off is this a sgs3 thing or an ICS thing? And how can I import a windows font to use on my SGS3? Is it a different file type than the .tff? Thanks!

Look for the FlipFont thread in the themes and apps section. Those are in apk format so all you have to do is install the fonts like an app and they will show up in the font settings of the phone.

Question re fonts and wallpapers

Hello there.
Two questions...
1) I see in the S3 settings that you can change the font, but it redirects you to the market to add more options. Is there any way to add your own custom fonts?
2) Anyone know of good sources for decent wallpapers?
Cheers
Yeah, good question... I'd be quite interested to be able to change fonts for some custom things I have.

You need to install the Ubuntu font either as System app or as a Normal app... Then go to Settings > Display > Font Style and select the font...
Below is the attached .apk for Ubuntu font... I took it from my upcoming ROM
Thx Sami!
I installed it, set it, set size normal, great!
Do you have any recommendation for some also great font like this (similar as ubuntu)?

Dude I'm sorry I can't answer that question because the only font I love and use on my phone is the Default one at small size.. You can ask that question on the Q&A thread and I am sure someone will recommend you some good fonts for your phone :good:

Fonts for Samsung UI

xda noon here. Started to explore the matter of changing/adding fonts via settings/device/font style. From there you have to option to pick a pre-installed font or click below on "get fonts online". I can't seem to understand why none of the font packs will work. They install and populate in the font list under settings/device/font style however when ever you select one it tells you it's not compatible and continues to ask if you'd like to uninstall the font pack. Any answers or help would be greatly appreciated.

I appreciate the help bud. Sorry for the slow response. I was trying to use fonts from iFont but didn't realize that one you hit set you still had to install the font after that. I kept wondering why they were not showing up in the font list. Once I figure that out they started showing up. Appreciate the response.

[REQ] SJsecret LG Font apk port for S6

I recently discovered this font, SJsecret, its found on the LG Smart World store and apparently it can't be used / installed on other phone models.
I found an apk package of it and i even managed to install it, but it doesn't show up in the Fonts menu in Settings.
So, i thought that maybe someone has the time and ability to make a proper apk for this awesome font. I don't want a zip package, because i plan to use Samsung Pay and i don't want to root for the time being.
I will attach the apk that i found, maybe it can be of some use.
/le
Done it myself after much searching and investigating.
I saw that many people downloaded the original LG apk, but nobody stopped to say something about it...
Anyways, I will attach my custom apk for S6 here, hope someone will enjoy it as much as I do!
/lle
Re-attached the file. Enjoy!
Amazing! I have an LG phone but I have installed cyanogenmod 11. How can I install this font? Thank you
I don't know how Cyanogen manages custom fonts, if the original LG apk doesn't work, try asking in the thread of your rom.

Thanks for the reply! I have done it in a different way. I explain you how i managed Just in case someone needs it.
I have extract the original .ttf file from the LG apk (I have used winrar on my pc), then I have moved ttf file in my sdcard and apply this with an app from playstore (iFont).
Yep, that's a great shortcut. iFont app is a very powerful tool for managing custom fonts.

I'm pretty sure the reason why (at least for me) is that I'm trying to find a way to create a custom LG font package.
iFont app does support FlipFont (for Samsung devices) but LG doesn't seem to be using that system, neither the iFont "install mode". I wish iFont did have a "LG mode", but it doesn't.

Currently attempting this myself. I'm using an LG G6 that isn't rooted but I'd like to figure out the changes he made in order to enable it on the other phone so I downloaded both.
Not a lot of people have posted custom fonts and the LG World store is over saturated with versions of comic sans style fonts.

Hey man, could you reverse engineer the apk and make Google Product Sans font for official LG framework? (Like how sjsecret or JIOgougu fonts have apks which work for unrooted LG v20/v30/g6/g5). Would be a grand favor.
Sorry for irrelevance with Samsung s6 forum though.
