Adding fonts to the Verizon G4

[dpham00]

The Verizon G4 allows you to change the Font (Settings-Display-Font Type), however it only lets you choose from a half dozen fonts. I extracted the Smart World app from my International G4 (H815) and was able to install it on my Verizon G4. After doing so, there will be a "+" sign in the upper right of the Font change screen, letting you add fonts.

This was tested on the Verizon G4. If other variants also removed this option, then the above method might work as well.

P.S. I was able to install themes with the Smart World app, however, I could not apply it to the G4 using the hidden activity method like on the G3.

This if what it looks like after installing the smart world app. The first 6 fonts were standard. I added 2 more to test.

The SJsecret looks cool. I seldom change fonts because for some reason the extra ones seem to 'forget' some special characters (most accents in Spanish) and it messes things up when I get e-mails or something like that in Spanish. So annoying.

SJsecret, IMO, is the best font available right now. Really clean. Not seeing any problems with accents or special characters yet.

What about spacing? That was also a problem with some menus being cut off or looking funky

How come I cannot see your attached file on my phone ?

Some fonts are designed with basically the characters on a typewriter. Make sure your font has a complete set of accented characters etc., whatever you need. "Unicode" compliant fonts are your best bet.

Can you change the emoji font with this?
