What happens after you install a font cab? Do any of the fonts change? The problem I had was some of MajorSarcasm's fonts would change all of the fonts and some wouldn't. I just assumed it was a lack of files included in the cab. Have you gone into the windows folder (using total commander cuz its faster) and looked at the .ttf files? I had to look and see which ones still had a 2/17 date (or in the current case, a 3/9 date) by them. These are the files you have to worry about and change. For me it was one of the Helvetica files not being overwritten by the cab. I took a Helvetica file that had an older date on it, copied it, renamed it to the one I need to replace, and then dropped it in the windows folder. After a soft reset, everything was working. I could be wrong but I think I read somewhere that Tahoma is the system font and Helvetica is the Sense font. I could have that backwards, but I believe that's how it works. That would explain why when I first installed my font, the notification bubbles, the calendar, and the weather on the home tab just to name a few did not change. I hope this helps. If you still have problems, let me know and I'll see if I can help.

I used to be able to change the system font by simple dropping a font file in Windows - as long as I rename it tahoma, because the registry settings are all set to Tahoma, it's easier that way. Adjusting the registry works just longer. I am not worried about Sense's font because it goes to the system fonts when reading and replying email, surfing the web, file exploring etc. The reason why it's an issue for me now is the font I use is a bold font, but if I substite the bold ttf (tahomabd.ttf) with a lighter one it evens out to my liking. 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.

The new 3-19-10 ROM looks sweeeeet, I am liking everything I see so far, it seems more polished all around. Awesome work!

Since I am a Verizon TP user, and I just had to try the new release out (I am too impatient to wait for the Lite version), I flashed the latest 3-9-10 ROM with a pagepool of 0, as I have heard previously suggested. With nothing really setup yet after a fresh reboot I have 2 MB of RAM free... Not enough to be useful, it complains it is out of memory at idle. When flashed with a pagepool of 4, the idle reports 30MB of RAM free! With the previous full ROM version I had around 10MB free at idle with the 4MB pagepool, which was usable, but barely. The new Rom is very fast and stable on the Verizon TP so far, Excellent work!

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.

Never really thought about donations before. So any thing you give is greatly appreciated.

I can't seem to use the hardware keyboard when setting an appointment. Anyone has this issue?

Is it me but my people tab keeps freezing my phone solid.

I have found that its an issue on how htc works certain contacts.

I have not found anymore detail more than that.

Thanks

First of all let me say that this is by far the quickest ROM I've used to date. After checking in with my old favorites, I decided to give this one a try and am very impressed. I had a weird "tear" on the top of my screen whenever i opened the taskbar at first but it seemed to clear it self up. The only issue now is the "reply" function doesn't work in email. I tried the registry entries mentioned in the first post but still am getting no love. I have no idea what to try next. Not sure if it matters, but I have my email/calender/contacts synched to google through their instructions and it seems to work like a charm (accept the whole no replying part). Any suggestions would be appreciated, even if it's to point me in the right direction to troubleshoot further.

Many Thanks to Twisteddan for all his work!! Please keep it up, it's great.
