Re: Strange use of fonts

here's what to do: when you put in custom fonts in \windows\fonts, the system will automatically use the first one in \windows\fonts by default (why? we have no idea - it's microsoft). I do not know where windows keeps its default fonts because \windows\fonts is initially empty. so the quick and dirty workaround is to make a copy of tahoma.ttf (get it from your windows PC) and call it AAAAA.ttf and place it in \windows\fonts. This way you can call whatever custom fonts you like in your applications or whatever and still have the system use tahoma by default for everything else like the dialer, or mp3 trimmer, or google maps.

don't despair, just put aaaa.ttf in there and soft reset, then you can delete whatever fonts you dont want in there because they wont be in use. after that you can probably delete aaaa.ttff too. hope it helps!

I do not have a cab for tahoma, but my multifont script for changing titanium fonts does.
