I just found out the simplest way to change the fonts on Nokia S^3 phones...
You just need a memory card for that...
Create a new folder "resource" in the memory card and then another one inside it "Fonts"...
Inside the Fonts folder place 4 copies of any font and rename them to [nosnr60.ttf, nssb60.ttf, nstsb60.ttf, S60ZDIGI.ttf ].
All done, just restart your phone and your font is changed.
I'm using the Zapper font in my C7.

First fontrouter your phone install program

unsigned version of the program can be downloaded from this link.
HERE, then we want the phone before you install the font in the font downloading.download file take 4-copy (with original font 4), respectively, "S60ZDIGI s60tsb s60ssb s60snr"

Now the fonts to the phone installed
phone to a computer with a USB cable first attribute (storage mode) after completion of the connection (open memory card) Data folder in a folder named fonts open.in be.maybe Turn off the phone and try again. (Program not installed the fonts folder, does not occur!)
file fonts, font files into the usb cable copy.phone call again taking off and when we opened the font to be installed is not installed need.if review and repeat the steps.

Restore the original font

Fontrouter.ini file in the Fonts folder open with notepad

[Global]

; Enable / Disable main function of FontRouter.
; Default: 1
;
Enable = 1

Big warning people "Do not install FontRouter" in ^3 Nokia. It will brick your fone instantly, the only way to recover is the 3 key hard reset. Please follow Arjun's instructions. I installed font router along with other ^3 users ( we all thought it worked on our S60V5, so no issue ) WRONG WRONG WRONG.

Its always safe to install font in the memory card you know coz if anything happens you can just eject the memory card and restart... After the restart the default font will take effect... Then, just delete the font folder from the memory card and insert it back...

Don't use font router... My friend's N8 crashed and had to be sent to Nokia Care...

Just follow my instructions... My C7 has never crashed or shown any error with this font...

There's just one issue, to access OVI store you'll have to remove the memory card and go back to default font, after the OVI session is over, just insert it back...

Hope it helps...

You are right Arjun, your steps worked well on my C7. You can hard reset a ^3 yourself. Hold down, volume down key + camera key + menu key. press start until country selection comes up.
