Custom Fonts

[Guest Hermg]

After looking for a new theme, I thought, why not use a different font?

These are the easy steps (do them in normal mode, but with USB mass-storage disabled):

First backup the old ones:

 adb remount

 adb pull /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf DroidSans.ttf

 adb pull /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf DroidSans-Bold.ttf

With these commands you copied the files from your Pulse to the same folder as which holds the adb program. Now choose a font you like and copy that font into the same folder as the adb program. I chose Tahoma as testfont. If your font doesnt have a bold version, just use the font for both lines. Just make sure that you always replace both the DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf files, even if font doesnt have a bold version, as it might look strange otherwise. Change tahoma.ttf to the name of normal version of the font you are using. Change tahomabd.ttf to the name of the bold version of the font you are using. If your font doesnt have a bold version, use the same name as for the normal version.

 adb remount (Only needed if you didnt do it before, and also needed everytime after you did a reboot on your phone)

 adb push tahoma.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf

 adb push tahomabd.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf

 adb shell reboot

Do keep in mind that not all fonts work perfectly on your Pulse. I saw this with the Calibri font which became kind of unreadable on my phone and with Tahome the name of Better Terminal (name only, programs work normal) contained strange signs.

Thanks for this!

Century Gothic works, but it's a bit too big in places.
