To manage the fonts that your phone uses, you'll need two
applications.The first FontRouter LT,will need to be signed.The second
app,FontRouterMan,is already signed,and provides an interface to the
changes that FontRouter LT makes to your system. Once you have
installed both applications to the internal memory on your phone,you
can then install fonts easily.You can use any.ttf font on your
Symbian-powered smartphone,but make sure that the extension is
'ttf'and not 'TTF'. Apparently, there is a difference, as I
discovered. and then simply use any file manager (including the
built-in one) to put the font files in C:/data/Fonts on your
phone.Now,open FontRouterMan, and press Options,Open Installed Fonts
.Choose the C:/drive, and you'll be presented with a list of
available fonts.Simply choose the one you would like to use, then
press 'Exit' ,and reboot your phone. You will now see the font used in
place of the default system font! FontRouterMan also allows you to
fine- tune the font with various settings. Each time you adjust these
settings, you'll need to exit FontRouterMan and then reboot your
phone to see the changes.Obviously,this can be a big hassle, but
unfortunately,there is no way to preview how a font adjustment will
look on your phone. You can also set FontRouterMan to 'disabled'to
revert to the system default.
Here's a quick guide as to what each setting does:
