FONTS IN S60 PHONES (6600, 7610), Want to change them? See the Tutorial Options

[charitarthlal]

Bored with the old font in ur s60 phone

Well this is the place for u....

Here is a tutorial that will guide u to change the fonts in ur phone.

(Information courtesy of some other site)

So here we go....

[charitarthlal]

Before I start with the tutorial, take a look at the pics below, those are the ones I tried on my friend's phone (6600 firmware v5). It also installs nicely on frimware v3 & v4.



Modern Font


Tahoma


WARNING: You will lose your default font when you follow the steps below. SO please make necessary backup should something go wrong.

Also prior to installing this fonts, I suggest you install FExplorer on your phone. Ok so here goes...

[charitarthlal]

Step 1. Download the fonts first

Step 2. In the Zip file you will see
+ FontRemover.sis
+ tahoma.sis
+ modern.sis
+ set3v3.sis
+ mssans.sis
+ symbol.gdr
+ comic.gdr


Step 3. Then send the FontRemover.sis to your phone and install it. Once installed, launch the application and it should ask you if you want to delete font. Click on Yes and it should tell you to reboot your phone. Do NOT reboot first.

Step 4. Now send one of the font sis files, lets say modern.sis to your phone and install it to your C drive (your phone, NOT mmc). Once installed then reboot your phone.

Step 5. When it starts, you should see the default fonts replaced by the ones you have just installed.


Now I cant stress this more but you need to understand that you can only use ONE FONT at one time. If you want to use another font, you will have to go back to step 3 & 4.

[charitarthlal]

As for the .gdr files, you will need to do it this way.

Step 1. Use FontRemover to remove the fonts.

Step 2. Open FExplorer and goto C:\system and create a "fonts" folder as shown below.




Step 3. Send the .gdr file to your phone. Do not open it as it will say unknown file format.

Step 4. Find the file in your mail folders (C or E:\system\mail\00001001_S\0-9, a-f) using FExplorer.

Step 5. Copy or Cut the file and then paste it to the C:\system\fonts folder.

Step 6. Exit FExplorer and then reboot you phone.

[charitarthlal]

So its that simple. In my testing, I found that some fonts like tahoma & mssans does not make much different (well atleast to me) as the modern font did. I've only managed to try on one 7610 with firmware v4.0424.ch and I only see small changes, not like it did on a 6600. So you guys with the 7610 might be a little disappointed about this. (like me )

Anyway, Good luck!

NOTE : Please ignore the warning about you might lose your default font after following the steps. Your original font is stored in your Z:\system\font folder, so if you decide to remove the font you have installed with font remover or by deleting d C:\system\fonts folder, its totally safe.

charitarthlal, I'm confused.
Is the .gdr part an alternate method? or do I have to do all the steps?
Both seem easy, but you have a more choices with the .gdr method(if it is separate).

A mod should pin this, This is a great addition to S60 phones (do ting rmaster )


Nice work guy

well .gdr is not an alternate method, its a totally different method.

actually its the main format of ur font file in any s60 phone, u dont have to do all the steps, just read carefully, for .gdr files it has a seperate method,

all those sis files were included with the fonts pack for safe installation, but the .gdr files r the actual files n its method of installation is a little bit mature,

n with that easy gdr creator u can make ur own fonts in the gdr format (ofcourse),

if u have any more probs then u can pm me right away,

plz both r seperate methods, dont get confused.
