[TuTorial] How To Install Custom Fonts On a Blackberry Without ANY Apps!

is it good for size 6 ? mostly downloaded fonts appear pixelated if being used on size 6 or 5.

Check the bottom of the first post, and 7-8 is a good font size.

Downloaded the blackberry logo fonts and followed the intructions...and I'm absolutely loving the font on my 9900. Only makes me love my BB the more :D

In my opinion, the Sansation font is the best. I've tried a bunch of the Font apps and I always come back to it.

Here it is:

I used the BlackBerryLove-SemiBold.

i've come across a small problem

since getting a replacement blackberry if i have fonts in the designated folder.. it stops my theme's custom font's from working. what do you suggest?

thanks in advance!

What's the deal or what have I got wrong?

Thanks all.

Turn off device encryption before copying the file

Thanks guys! Loving the BB font? :)

I installed 3 custom fonts a few months ago and love them, but when I woke up this morning it was set back to default! It says they're installed when I try to load them again but I can't find them in my system font list to use.

I am so happy with this! Thank you!
I ran into a small hiccup yesterday, though. If I reboot, I have to go back and select the new font,size, etc. again. Is this happening to anyone else? Small problem, I realize, but if anyone can suggest a quick fix, please share. I have a 9900 OS 7.1.284. Font is graphite_light_att. The font also shows up at the bottom of the list in options, instead of alphabetically, if that has any bearing on the issue...

I never knew how to do this. Now I do. Thank you.

There are two tutorials, 1 is for those who wish to do it from their computer, and the second is for those that want to do this directly from their Blackberry Device.

- Dedz go to nashshafrulrezza for the idea!
- Dedz to nah.uhh for the original back in january.(How to add fonts to your BlackBerry smartphone (without an app) - BerryReview)

TUTORIAL(from Computer)

1. Rename the font's extension from ".ttf" to ".font"

2. Place in your Blackberry's device storage, in the "fonts" folder (DeviceStorage>appdata>rim>fonts) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR "HIDDEN" FOLDERS VISIBLE.
   
   
3. Now once placed in folder reboot(battery pull/soft reset) phone.
   
   
4. All fonts should be visible in your display settings.

6. MAKE SURE THE EXTENSION IS RENAMED ".font" & NOT ".ttf(this is done by simply renaming the file)"

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A "fonts" FOLDER IN YOUR "rim" FOLDER, THEN CREATE ONE.

It should work, i tried it and it worked.
Carefuly redo the steps and see if it works.

Much thanks for this easy to follow tutorial! I do like the blackberrylove fonts, but the font size look to be smaller than other fonts giving the impression that there is more spacing between lines. The KTKGCC version of this font fills in much better, but for some reason certain letters come out more thicker than other letters. The 'O', 'K', 'q', and 'j' characters are all thicker than they should be compared to the other letters once you use size 7 and above. Is there an updated version of this font versus the one posted originally in this thread?

Fonts from dafont are .zip file, right? How can you make that .ttf on your fone?

Nice! I was able to change fonts on my Curve 3G. I just need to shrink the file sizes of the fonts I want. Now I'm using the Roboto and Open Sans font. Thanks! :nerd:

after i installed 3 fonts and i reboot, it shows me this message:
uncaught exception: applicationRegistry.wait For(0x....) timeout
why is that? I then uninstalled the fonts but still showing this message after reboot.
I have BL returns 7.1

I don't see "Device" on mine (Curve 8530). I wanna transfer just one font to it to use so I don't lose it. How can I do this with this model?

I downloaded the font, changed the file extension to .font but I can't "Cut" and "Paste" them into "appdata>rim>[fonts]" folder.

everytime I unhide the folders then copy/move it, The folder turns hidden again :mad:
I tried and tried and nothing happens -___________-

I really want to change my BB font :3
Please help

Can the same be done on the BB OS10
