You will have to edit the files \windows\titanium_640x480.cpr and titanium_480x640.cpr to respect the font name, which in this case is Digital-7. I could not know what custom panels everyone has... The problem with this is the CPR contains information for everything on the home screen. When you overwrite with my CPR's you will get support for what I had enabled at the time. (titanium weather, titanium notifications, clauncher and the default phone, email, voicemail, time)
If i was good enough I could make a script that searches through your CPR's and changes only the font names, but alas, these phones arent running linux .

However, if someone knows of a small scripting language (for our phones) that can do regexp search and replace well then that would just be sweet.

the command I am thinking of is something like this. Of course if you run linux and have your phone synced something this would do the trick for you. Titanium weather uses Segoe UI font by default.

Or if you have enterprise vista and the subsystem for unix applications this would probably work too!

cat \windows\titanium*.cpr | sed -e "s/Tahoma/Digital-7/g" > \windows\

but that may just be pushing the limits of my inner geek...

Got it! Thanks bro looks great again!

No problem. CPRs aren't that scary at all once you do it for yourself. I have not ventured into changing much on CPR's besides fonts and font sizes, yet...

let's see a screenshot!

Ok I am having some issues with trying to load my font. I have followed Raid's directions to this point, then I get lost.....
2. edit & replace \windows\titanium480_640.cpr and titanium640_480.cpr with your favorite text editor and replace tahoma with the name of the font you want. I also edited the size of the time caption font so it was bigger. (Optional - Edit your font file to include a degree symbol with a font editor)
Ok I don't understand the whole edit & replace with your favorite text editor part. Could someone explain that to me in idiot proof terms?
What is a good text editor, in fact what is a text editor? I would love to do this myself, but I dont know what this stuff is...

TIA

Hey
A text editor comes with windows is notepad. you will need to copy the files from your device onto your pc, right click them and click open with, choose notepad.

to be more complete, once you have the cpr open in notepad (it looks like XML or html - might be, idk) click edit, replace, type in Tahoma in the first box and the name of you rfont in the second box and click ok. that will replace all occurences of the work Tahoma in the file with a word you choose. then save ad exit then copy the edited .cpr files back into \windows on your device with activesync. reboot and you're done.
