[MOD] Font Changer v1.3.1 (18/09)
Description
This is a simple update and application which creates a symlink from /system/fonts into /data/local/fonts for the regular and bold font used by Android (sorry, no Arabic and others yet). The update just makes the necessary changes on the partition, and the application allows for fairly simple switching of the fonts. The update comes with some fonts already, but they can be added manually as well (read more to see how).
- Inspired from the Galaxy S
Requirements
* recovery
* root
* busybox
* also reported to be working on a Motorola Droid with CM6
Installation
1. do a nandroid backup first, just in case
2. flash fontchanger_update_basic*.zip (doesn't contain any extra fonts, so they will have to be added manually) or fontchanger_update_basic*.zip (contains lots of fonts, but requires ~15MB of free space during installation) in recovery
3. install FontChanger*.apk on your device
4. and you're ready to change the font now!

How to Add Fonts
Fonts need to be in TrueType (.ttf), and to ensure a smoother ride you should have two files. One for the regular typeface, and the second for the bold one. If you have just the regular one, the overall look may not be so pleasing and also it may break the parsing too.
Make sure that both fonts have the same common filename, but append "bold", or "bd" or "bi" at the end of the filename for the bold font. Otherwise the application may not parse the fonts correctly. So for example:
times.ttf and timesbd.ttf, or times.ttf and timesbold.ttf, etc.
Once that is done you can push the files with adb (or whatever other method works) to /data/local/fonts/ or /sdcard/.fontchanger/ (if you moved the fonts to external storage in the settings). Now just refresh the application and the new fonts should be there.
How to Remove
1. remove Font Changer from your applications
2. go into recovery and flash fontchanger_remove_defaultsense*.zip
Note that at the moment the fonts will get restored to the ones used in the stock Sense ROMs. So if you had previously used a theme like NexTang, which uses its own font, then you will have to reapply the update to get the same font back (something that I'll work on).
Known Bugs

* force closes
Working on...
