Fonts on Storage Card (for Smartphone) ?

[Guest csc12345678]

Is there any tweak or utilities that can allow me to put my fonts in the Storage Card (for Smartphone) ?

THanks !

Hi. ;)

Check this FontLink code:

<wap-provisioningdoc>

<characteristic type="Registry">

<characteristic type="HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink">

<parm name="nina" value="\Storage\windows\Fonts\FontToUse.ttf,TypefaceName" datatype="string" />

</characteristic>

<characteristic type="HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontPath">

<parm name="FontPath" value="\Storage\windows\Fonts" datatype="string" />

</characteristic>

</characteristic>

</wap-provisioningdoc>

Lines 4 and 7 shows the path to the truetype font and Fonts location. Personally, I wouldn't play with the values as I may end up messing the registry. I am satisfied with the default setup (ie \Storage\windows\Fonts). The TTF doesn't take much phone space anyway.

My current values point to "\windows\fonts". I've did tried to change it to "\Storage Card\Windows\Fonts" but it does not work. I have Chinese fonts which appears as little squares. THe Chinese fonts can be 6Mb large. So that's why I want to move them. Any idea if this can be done or not ?

I think it is 'doable' but not advisable. The phone won't boot after a change in font path.
