Font CABs
 

I'm posting up a bunch of font CABs that I put together a while back. I've had a few people ask about them recently so I thought I'd throw them for all to share.

NOTE: These CABs will change the system font on your entire phone. All of your menus, apps, setting screens, titanium, touchflo, etc. The ONLY font that will not change will be text within the web browser.
NOTE: These CABs are completely unistallable, in case you decide you don't like the font, or you want to change to a different font.

TouchFlo Weather Fix - For anyone that is having trouble with their weather tab in TouchFlo not dusplaying the current temperature correctly, check this post for the fix CAB. Thanks Mmaureenn!!!

Link for HandelGotDLib Font Thanks Mmaureenn!!!

Enjoy!!!

Re: Font CABs
 

Would this work with SPB mobile shell 3.0?
Do you have any pictures?

Re: Font CABs
 

Thanks for the Cabs Kliptik!

Re: Font CABs
 

Can we get some screen shots please :)

Re: Font CABs
 

Thanks bro, Works great on my 6900 too.

Thanks T M Z

Re: Font CABs
 

what is wrong with he already has? Do you just want to see what it looks like on the screen?

Re: Font CABs
 

If you don't have that font on your computer, it isn't going to show properly if he just uses text.

Edit: Plus it's nice to see how it actually looks on Windows Mobile, a lot of fonts that I've tried have minor clipping issues.

Re: Font CABs
 

I second this

Re: Font CABs
 

I updated Post #3 with screenshots of the Nyala font. If we want screens of all the fonts it'll prolly be a couple days before I can get to that. LMK!!!

Thanks for the support!!!

Re: Font CABs
 

Does anyone have the CAB to fix the weather display with the new fonts?

Re: Font CABs
 

Thanks, lovin the papyrus. My fav font.

Re: Font CABs
 

Maybe members who like a specific font could post
a screen shot. Just as a reference for when someone
is looking for a specific look.

Does this override the mobile shell font?

Re: Font CABs
 

Tested! They do work in SPB mobile shell
3.0!

Re: Font CABs
 

Post your screenshots Ninja!!!! :angry7:

lol

Re: Font CABs
 

Here are some random shots of my fav

Re: Font CABs
 

I'll have to do some digging on this one. Now that you mention it I do remember that being an issue. There's actually a manila file that I found that you can just drop into the Windows folder and it fixes it...

Let me dig and I'll see if I can CAB it up and post it.

Re: Font CABs
 

Hey can you post up a screenshot of your weather tab? Are you using standard TF3D or are you running one of the ports (TF3D2.Manila 2.1)? My Weather tab is working fine...

Re: Font CABs
 

I was using that one too, but there were little clippings in the numbers.

Weather Fix Cab
 

So, yesterday I made my first font set and cab file. Unfortunately, I had the current temp display issue on my Weather tab.

I tried Showaco's cab in Godzson's thread and the 72ac571f_manila file in this thread (and others), but they didn't work so I was gonna ask for help. But then I edited the file instead (see screenshots below). My Touch Pro is running MR 4.16 (WM 6.1). I have attached a cab containing the 72ac571f_manila which I took from my rom and edited. Maybe it'll work for someone else. xoxo Maureen

Please note: The only mod made to the file was changing the font size for the current temp display. If it doesn't work, simply uninstall it in "Remove Programs" and reset your device. :)

Re: Weather Fix Cab
 

Thanks for checking into that! I did some digging into how I made the font CABs in the first place. I actually put that manila file into these font cabs to fix the weather tab issue. Strange that's it's resurfaced, but it may only be on the font CABs that the font is naturally bigger.

Would you mind if I attach this file to one the first few threads so that anyone trying to fix it has it available right up front?

EDIT: I just realized that this happened on the font CAB that you made yourself. Lol. It would still be awesome if I could attach that fix cab to the first post so that anyone that does make their own fonts can grab it.

Re: Font CABs
 

Thanks so much for the cabs :) Gonna try a few today!!

Re: Weather Fix Cab
 

Of course you can. I hope it helps someone else. I have explained the fix in detail below in case anyone making fonts is interested. My current font cab contains four fonts (which is how I figured this out), reg and bold system font and two "pretty" fonts for show in TF3D (see pics below for example and fixed weather tab). I'll probably post it when I post the theme. I think it might be best to keep the fix separate, since that particular manila file may vary.

I realized that the manila in your cab (and the other fixes I've seen) tried to change the position of the current temp numbers rather than adjust the font size. So I looked at every reference to fonts in the weather tab mode 9 file. I knew that manila calls both Helv Roman and Helv Thin. Figured out that the Helv Thin is only called for the tab title (both in the tab and on the scroll shade) and the current temp. Found the references (I think there are four) to Helv Thin that related to temp and changed the font size from "85" to "60".

Each number is allowed an average space of 45 px X 85 px. The larger fonts require more space than that when they're sized at 85. One way to check is to measure its pixel size in a paint program when it's at 85. If it's larger than 45 px x 85 px, you'll need to decrease the font size until it fits into the space allowed, then edit the manila to that smaller font size. 60 px seemed pretty universal to me, and it displays nicely even with a font that isn't too big. Anyway, with that theory in mind, one could conceivably customize the manila to suit each font exactly without compromising the integrity of the tab.

Re: Weather Fix Cab
 

Thanks for the explanation! You know a TON more about manila files than I do!!! Instead of attaching the CAB to the first post, I put a link to your post. That way you'll get the "Thanks" for it.

Re: Weather Fix Cab
 

Nice theme Mmaureenn!!!! :-)

Re: Weather Fix Cab
 

Just to clarify, I know a lot about graphics and image mapping, a good amount about programming code in general, and not so much about manila. But I'm learning. I managed to change the text color in my Comm Mgr tab to white so I could read it and I'm going to attempt to add the title text in my calendar tab. I'm about to try my hand at Lua... all in an effort to change the current day focus color from green to pink in my calendar tab. I found the code line for it using notepad, thought it was a Mode 9 file, d/l'd M9 Editor only to discover that it is actually a Lua file. Down the rabbit hole I go again. LOL

Here's something interesting, though. When I was reading the code in the weather mode 9, I found an entry which refers to an "easter egg"... Not sure if it means anything - well, I'm sure it does, but normally they're some sort of hidden thing that's triggered by a specific event. Curiouser and curiouser. :) Maybe it's just a title, since the component containing the temperature data is called "GizmoRoot". :scratch:

Thank you. That was very thoughtful.

xoxo Maureen

Re: Font CABs
 

Thanks for posting up those pics!!!

EDIT: PS - Where'd you get the Start Menu icon set? I've been looking for a good one...

Re: Font CABs
 

not a problem, i was originally only planning on posting 2 or 3, but i ended up trying them all out before i decided which one i was gonna use, so what can i say, i was up late. :mrgreen:

The start menu icons come in the latest silence rom, which is what im running. Its by FAR the fastest 6.5 rom ive run to date, id higly recommend it. If you dont wanna switch rom id PM silence, maybe he can hook you up with just the icon files.

Re: Font CABs
 

I am using the original TF3D, i'll try to post the pic, i also tried the cab above without it working shows as a white square over where the pic of the sun or moon should be

Re: Font CABs
 

ok so just for "ha-ha's" i went back and changed to another font(Candara) and it works perfectly. I think the Trajan Pro is just too big a font for the weather tab...which bums me out since im so near sighted :drunken: but thanks for the help guys:mrgreen:

Re: Font CABs
 

I was concerned about that very thing... If you would like to upload the manila file referenced above from your device, I'd be happy to try to customize it so that you can use the larger font.

xoxo Maureen

Re: Font CABs
 

That's great thanks again for the help!=D>im gunna find a screen capture cab and get it on

Re: Font CABs
 

here ya go, this one works well.
Attachment 40345

Re: Font CABs
 

can someone make a .cab file for me for the font HandelGotDlig... please:mrgreen:
its in the attachment just change extension to .ttf.. thanx

Re: Font CABs
 

OK I put one together real quick. I'm gonna give it a shot to make sure it works and if it does I'll post back.

Re: Font CABs
 

So yeah that didn't work out as well as I'd hoped. My trials of FontCreator and WinCE Cab Manager are waaaaayyy expired so I tried to do it a different way... So possibly we could have Maureenn put one together if she'd be willing. Or I may be getting a new laptop here in the next few weeks and I could get the trials again and go on a font making spree!!!

Sorry I couldn't get it put together... :(

Re: Font CABs
 

its okay..thanx for trying my man.
maybe someones else can?? love that font really want it on my touch
