The tahomabd.ttf font is not budging for anything  so I will have search for another font. I like the dialer and mms and those are more important than a font I like. It's just one of the things I know people customize. So if anyone wants to customize their system font will just have to do it by registry. |
Have you tried backing up all of the .ttf files, then installing a cab, then dropping back in the ones you want? It may work and it may not, but it'd be worth a shot. Here's the thread I get my fonts from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532633. It's worth a look. I can't find any other places that have system fonts. I don't know how to make my own. If it's that easy I wouldn't mind giving it a go.
One more thing, how are you trying to replace the file? I had to replace one of them, and I used the copy/move command, hit tree, and put in the windows directory. It never asked me if I wanted to overwrite. I guess it just did it automatically.
