[APP] KD-Font [v1.2.4] [URGENT UPDATE!!!] [11/26/10] [151 FONTS!!!]
 

So you're looking for something to give your phone a fresh look, right? But you don't want to spend a ton of time learning how to do something super simple... You've come to the right place!

KD-Font allows you to change the fonts on your Windows Mobile device, within a matter of seconds. And you don't have to take time to even learn how to use the app! Just jump into the library, pick a font you like, tap "Apply", and watch the magic happen. The app will download any font(s) you choose from a remote server, apply the fonts, and then leave you to enjoy the results! Looking to customize the experience a bit? Check out the "Library Settings" to fine tune KD-Font to your liking.

The server-based library allows you to have constant access to an ever-growing collection of fonts to choose from! Since the library is server-based, you also won't have a ton of space being taken up on your device for font files you'll never use. And if you do want to save the files, just make sure to turn the option on in the "Library Settings". Then you can switch back and forth between your favorite fonts without waiting for a download.

You can choose to apply fonts to the entire device, specifically the Windows Mobile OS, or specifically the HTC Sense (TF3d) UI! You can even apply different fonts to WM and Sense if you want!

Heard enough? Download the CAB below, install it on your device, and then go for it!

Looking to spice things up just a little? Check out Post #2 for a collection of KD-Font icons, userbars, and other goodies!

Now for the technical stuff...

KD-Font FAQ
 

Q: What are the system requirements for KD-Font?
1) WM6 or higher (6.1, 6.5, 6.5.X)
2) .NETCF 3.5

Q: Is KD-Font uninstallable?
A: Yes. KD-Font can be uninstalled via “Start > Settings > System > Remove Programs”. This will remove the app, and restore the default fonts to the device.

Q: Can I install KD-Font to my SD card?
A: YES!

Q: Can I apply different fonts to WM and/or Sense (TF3D)?
A: YES!

Q: Will this work on any build of Sense/TF3D?
A: KD-Font should change the font for any build of Sense/TF3D. If you experience issues with fonts not changing appropriately, please PM me with details.

Q: I can’t see all of the text in certain areas. What happened?
A: Depending on the font(s) you have applied, you may notice visual differences in the amount of text that displays in a given area. This is due to the fact that each font style has different size characters. For example, the “A” character for the Bank Gothic font is much larger than the “A” character in the Calibri font. Before changing the font, try adjusting the “Text Size” settings on the device. If it still does not suit your visual needs, just apply a different font.

Q: Where is my favorite font?
A: The (5) most popular fonts are included in the application. You can use the "Update Library" function to access the extended server-based font library.

Q: Are you taking font requests?
A: YES!

Q: Where can I get ideas for font requests?
A: HERE. There are a TON of fonts on this site, and you can search by title, genre, theme, movie, etc.

Q: How do I submit a font request?
A: PM me with the following:
1) Font Title
2) .TTF files for the font (if possible)
3) If #2 is not available, a link to download or preview the font
NOTE: The more information/resources provided, the less time it will take to fulfill the request.

Q: Where/how do I report errors?
A: Please report any errors in this thread. Myself, BETA Team Members, and other users may be able to help with your issue. When reporting an error, please include the following:
- Error Code (if applicable)
- Device
- Screen Resolution
- WM OS Version (6, 6.1, 6.5, 6.5.X, etc.)
- Sense(TF3D) Build (2.1, 2.5, etc.)
- ROM
- Brief description of the context of the error, and the steps leading up to the error

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

nice hope to see some screen shots.

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

Screenshots would be awesome. What fonts will this change? Everything? (text messages, main fonts on homescreen, emails, program files, start menu applications, etc.)

If it does not change all, a list of what it changes and does not change would be good to include. Looks like a good idea. I've heard of people changing fonts but it never really struck me before. Might try some out if they look decent though.

Thanks have been given for the initiative to start:thumbleft:

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

I will be testing them tonight, so I will post up screenshots and a list of what does/doesn't change. The ones I made for the TP1 changed everything, so I'm planning on being able to do the same for the TP2.

On another note... My internet was giving me trouble right after I started the thread, is there any way (@mod maybe?) to get my two reserved posts moved up to #2 and #3?

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

If you cant get mods to change you can use my post for stuff. I can edit as needed. Always an option

Shoot Sauman a PM. He's one of the mods here on the TP2 forum. He changed a poll I started a few days ago to add a couple more options people wanted to include. He might be able to flip the posts around. Its fine if mine needs to be moved.

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

Never can have enough Font's to install this is much appreciated.

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

thanks in advance! I can't wait to see this! :) i'd just like to have any font thats "bolder" looking than whats currently on the phone.

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

Fonts would be a Nice addition to the TP2.

iThink i recall seeing your post on the TP1 and the screen shots on how the fonts looked .

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

If you are looking for screenshots as a few have asked for and you can only post a few, could you include Candara and Copperplate Gothic? Those are a couple I'm interested in.

Please and Thank You :mrgreen:

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

Will def do Candara, as that is my personal fav.

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

Haha great minds think alike :headbang:

It just stood out to me

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

same here,if mods can delete my post cool but if not i can post what you want on it.

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

Now you have all the first 5 posts haha. Just PM me with anything you want in there and I will gladly change it for you

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

Calibri?

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

I typically don't make requests but i cant help myself,

Halo or leet speak!!!!! :mrgreen:

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

I was looking through my computer fonts and there's one called 'Bank Gothic'

I really like this one. If you are looking for more, maybe give this one a try

I'm not sure if this is specific to Macs, but that is what I have.

Here's a screenshot of it:

Also, thanks to whoever resized my screenshot picture. It was rather large

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

Magneto is also listed in post #1, so that will coming soon!

I'm working on testing and getting screenshots now, so I should have this stuff up around lunchtime!

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

Great idea, +1.

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

My graphic design lady would kill for a cab install that replaces the fonts for the full sys and manila files to either:

Helvetica Neue Ultra Light

and

Myriad Pro.

thanks in advance!

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

Awesome! I've got it listed in the "Pending Requests" on Post #1.

Re: TP2 Fonts [TAKING REQUESTS]
 

Added FAQ to post #3.

Added screenshots to post #5.

CABs coming very soon!

Re: TP2 Fonts [AVAILABLE]
 

Font CABs are now available!!! See post #1 for downloads. Just click the font title of the font CAB you want to download.

Enjoy!!!

Re: TP2 Fonts [AVAILABLE]
 

thank you for this!! :)

Re: TP2 Fonts [AVAILABLE]
 

This is a really cool idea! I've got a font in mind. It's the type from the game Bioshock. :)

PM'd you (couldn't attach the ttf, but provided a link to downloading it). Thanks!

Re: TP2 Fonts [AVAILABLE]
 

Thank you so much for doing this!! Tried several fonts, can't really get one I like. Any chance of getting Engraver's Gothic? It is similar to Bankers Gothic, but a little rounder...Thanks again

Re: TP2 Fonts [AVAILABLE]
 

all the fonts are cool, but most make my emails and texts very difficult to read. thanks again for making these. I will keep an eye out for more.

Re: TP2 Fonts [AVAILABLE]
 

Links not working...did I miss something???

Re: TP2 Fonts [AVAILABLE]
 

Ya the links are not working for me ether they all seem to be dead.

Re: TP2 Fonts [AVAILABLE]
 

X3 Links Down

Re: TP2 Fonts [AVAILABLE]
 

OK so im looking into the links being down... Not sure what happened that they were working before, and just stopped.

Also, I updated Post #1 with a few more requests coming soon!

EDIT* All the links are back up and running. Not exactly sure what happened there, but theyre working now. Please LMK if they go out again.

EDIT 2* Since today is Mother's Day I'm gonna be spending the rest of the day spoiling my wife and mom, so I will be working on all of the requests tomorrow. I will PM the ppl that have made requests when they are uploaded. Thanks everyone!!!

Re: TP2 Fonts [AVAILABLE]
 

What made them hard to read? Font size? Or the actual font? If it's the font size, just adjust your text size settings on your device.

Re: TP2 Fonts [AVAILABLE]
 

proper thanks given, I appreciate your efforts.

Wirelessly posted (HTC Touch Pro2 (Sprint): Opera/9.7 (WindowsMobile; PPC; Opera Mobi/35267; U; en; Presto/2.1.1))

I downloaded a font, but when I tapped the .cab file to install, it came back "this file is not a valid Pocket PC application."

Anyone else getting the same error?

Old English Text MT please.
