Thread: change N95 fonts 100% working

1. Create a folder named 'fonts'
2. Place your favorite ttf font inside
3. Make 4 copies of the same font file
4. Rename font files to:
nohindisnr60.ttf
nohinditsb60.ttf
nohindissb60.ttf
S60ZDIGI.TTF
5. Copy the entire font folder to your memory card at /E:/Resource/
6. Restart your phone
7. Enjoy your new font style
8. To change fonts, repeat the process and overwrite the existing font folder
9. To go back to original font, simply delete the entire font folder. Original font will be back when you reboot.
Enjoy!

Great guide, I have been using this technique for a while now. One thing to point out is that you will lose all bold and italic styling, even if you use a font which has 4 incarnations for reg/bold/italic/bold italic etc. Opera mini does work with a bold font though. I have been using VJNina font which is quite crisp and clean.

Edit: Note you may find it easier to create the resource folder using a card reader on the PC. The N95 file explorer won't let you create reserved system folder names.
Edit2: Guard against using "massive" fonts, ie. 3Mb + There are many stripped down fonts available with many foreign characters removed for only around 100kb or less, much better for booting up on.

This actually works on every S60 3RD ED. Phone.
The only thing you have to do:
Get a file manager (i recommend x-plore, search!)
start it, and you should be able to see the Z:\ drive. Open it.
Navigate to Z:\resource\Fonts. On my E65 there is 8 fonts.
Then do the steps above.

And a tip: When you tries to remove the font folder within the phone, you cant because its loaded to the system. And if you connect it in "mass storage mode" it will deny access. The thing to do is: Remove the memory card, and simply put it back again (sometimes a restart is required, of course with the card REMOVED else it will load the font) Then you can connect it and remove/change/... with the font folder

Oh, and a little script to prepare your fonts easily

Code:

cd c:\Fonts\
del *.ttf
copy C:\windows\fonts\saxMono.ttf c:\Fonts\NOSNR60.TTF
copy c:\Fonts\NOSNR60.TTF c:\Fonts\NSSB60.TTF
copy c:\Fonts\NOSNR60.TTF c:\Fonts\S60TSB.TTF
copy c:\Fonts\NOSNR60.TTF c:\Fonts\NSTSB60.TTF
copy c:\Fonts\NOSNR60.TTF c:\Fonts\S60ZDIGI.TTF
copy c:\Fonts\NOSNR60.TTF c:\Fonts\SWABIU.TTF
copy c:\Fonts\NOSNR60.TTF c:\Fonts\SWABRU.TTF
copy c:\Fonts\NOSNR60.TTF c:\Fonts\SWARIU.TTF
copy c:\Fonts\NOSNR60.TTF c:\Fonts\SWARRU.TTF

Things to do with the script(made for E65)
Change line: 3 to point to the font you want (right now it points at saxMono.ttf) Change to your font!
Create folder C:/Fonts/ (on computer of course)
Change from line 3 and down (to fit your mobile phone)
NOTE: E65 users, this is perfectly prepared, just change the font it points to in the C:/Windows/Fonts/ and let it work a second .
