I have the gingerbread leak on my Droid X. I wanted to try flashing a font and it didn't work. I tried using ROM Manager on 1 font, and I tried 3 times on 2 different fonts in Clockwork Recovery (yes, I have D2 Bootstrapper). So I decided to try going into Root Explorer and literally take the font files from my SD card, and paste them into the /system/fonts directory and over-write anything there and then reboot. No success. Anyone else had any success? Suggestions? Am I doing anything wrong?

I've been flashing several fonts with Droid 2 Bootstrapper myself with no problems, too. I see you tried a couple different fonts - I've been getting mine from XDA and the giant flashable font pack thread. Not sure if that makes a difference, just thought I'd mention that those have definitely been working for me on Gingerbread.

Hope you can get it working!

Ive been using the Liberty toolbox flashable font sets and no issues. Ive been going thru them like crazy cuz I like how so many of them look.

Oh, I still can't get anything working. Do I need to restore anything? clear dalvik cache (I dont even know what that is)?

Can you show us the files here? Or the link to them? Maybe your downloading the wrong ones or they may be bad files or your just missing a step that you'll facepalm yourself for later,lol
