Changing Fonts on S60 3rd Edition Devices!
Sometimes when you stop searching for something it just pops up outta nowhere!! These things I always rely on Symbian-Freak for and on the forum there is a thread on changing fonts for S60 3rd edition. Now that post has been there for awhile, and I was too afraid to try it out simply because the instructions seemed a bit too hard.
BUT… after reading through the tutorial a bit I did a bit of tinkering myself and hopefully came up with an easier way or method of "getting it done".
Neuropol is my signature font. Well not really MINE but the one that I chose to use. Since many users on Symbian-Freak swear by Y-Browser so I decided to use this app.
Ok… basically you find whichever .ttf font that you want to use. In my case I just went to the font folder on c:/windows/font on my laptop. Pay close attention… what you NEED to do is create a folder on your desktop. Name that folder Fonts. Since you cannot just copy and paste a font from that windows folder, its safer to have both the fonts folder from your windows drive open AND the fonts folder that you just created on your desktop (which should be empty at this point). With both windows side by side, select the font that you would like to use and MOVE it to the other font folder by holding down the control button and dragging and dropping to your new font folder.
