Change font

[Guest patbisch]

Add the following key in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft]:

[FontLink\SystemLink]

string name : nina

string value : \Storage\windows\Fonts\name of file font,real name of the font when you open it

and

[Fontpath]

string name : Fontpath

string value : \Storage\windows\Fonts

And the result after the reboot:

As you see, it change the font in the top bar too not like Bladdfont.

To go back to default, erase [FontLink\SystemLink] and change value of the [fontpath] to : \Windows.

It's nina font that I have modify some properties with a font editor and because it's copyrighted, I don't know if I can post it.

The source of this tweak is HERE

[Guest patbisch]

... and the font used for the screenshot is here : Thin.zip

[Guest J273]

Do you know if this tweak will work with PPC phones or not ?

Thanks

[Guest patbisch]

I can't say yes with certitude. On MSDN site, they're talking about Windows CE device, they don't specify smartphone or ppc phone edition and I don't have a ppc for test this.

[Guest drizze99]

patbisch, you are genius! Thank you so much! Now I just need to figure out how to increase the size! (using an Asian ROM and text is small)

Hi, i flashed my phone with 3.46 asian and after searching i still have some fonts problem. So, I i tweaked the homescreen font but the menu font remains still small... Any suggestions???

[Guest ptwilliams]

Im getting exactly the same problem.

Entering the values exactly as shown, but the OK button is greyed out.

[Guest rekall]

Just tried this tweak - cool :)

Noticed though when you get an email or text the message it not in bold anymore - any reason why and can you fix it? Cheers

[Guest b0bby]

getting same as others... iv done all the reg changes, im using 'PHM Reg Editor'

Iv rebooted and its still the default font. :) any ideas anyone?

iv got a C500

[Guest My_Immortal]

Man that is a great tweak! It even changed the Ext LCD font!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest atauysal]

I am using WM05 on my mpx200, but the fonts of the external lcd is too small with this ROM compared to the old ones. Is there a registry tweak for applying a larger font to the clock at the external screen, its hard to tell the time this way. Thanx.

[Guest rizzles]

Hi im trying to add this tweak to a cab file for a HS i'm making, can anyone confirm that this is the correct registry entries i should put in the .inf file? Dont really wanna try it and break something :)

HKLM,Software\Microsoft\FontPath\, FontPath,, \storage\windows\fonts

Try this:

[AddRegistry]

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink","nina",0x00000000,"\Storage\windows\Fonts\FONT.ttf,TYPEFACE NAME HERE"

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontPath","FontPath",0x00000000,"\Storage\windows\Fonts"

Example:

[AddRegistry]

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink","nina",0x00000000,"\Storage\windows\Fonts\Font.ttf,Font"

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontPath","FontPath",0x00000000,"\Storage\windows\Fonts"

Where 'Font.ttf' is the font file name and 'Font' after the (,) as the font's typeface name.
