1. Choose your fonts.

2. Copy your fonts in "Storage/windows/Fonts" folder.

3. Add the following key in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft][Fontpath] and [FontLink].

4. Under "FontLink", add [systemLink] key.

5. Under "SystemLink", add value with string name: nina and string value is: \Storage\windows\Fonts\"name of file font.ext,real name"

of the font when you open it.

* Example: "\Storage\windows\Fonts\matrix.ttf,matrix" or "\Storage\windows\Fonts\Tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"

6. Under key "Fontpath" add new string value "\Storage\windows\Fonts" and string name is "Fontpath"

7. Reboot and amaze how you have changed every part of your smart phone!

I used Candara and it is amazing!

name: the name of your font

value data: \Storage\windows\Fonts\"name of file font,real name"

For example, I used Candara. So it goes like this:

string name: Candara

value data: \Storage\windows\Fonts\CANDARA.TTF,Candara"

Could someone make a CAB file for this?

If someone was to make a CAB file for this, it would be for a specific font,

you wouldn't be able to try and see which one fits your taste better.

Since I don't have a storage card, I just add mine to the fonts folder

\Windows\Fonts

I am using the free fonts "Kingthings Calligraphica Light.ttf" and "Kingthings Calligraphica.ttf"

Also, be aware that you must customize your home screen found in \Application Data\Home , for example:

(make a backup of the original homescreen.xml you are using)

There are plenty of resources on customizing your homescreen.
