Hey guys, just found out a way to change the font of Symbian Anna Mobiles...

1. Install the latest versions of "X-plore & Font Zoomer Lite" from the ovi store... Both are the free versions...

2. Rename the font that you want to use as "font_temp"

3. Copy the font file to a folder in the memory card or mass memory which you can recognise easily...

4. Open Font Zoomer and change the font to Antykwa or Thyromanes...

5. Set the Font Size and Space to the smallest possible options...

6. Apply the new settings, it'll ask you to restart the phone "DON'T RESTART IT YET"...

7. Open X-Plore, go to Menu-->Tools--->Configuration. Make the Hidden files, ROM drives, RAM drives and system files/folders visilble by ticking them...

8. Now go to C:\FontZoomer. Delete the "font_temp.ttf" file present here. Now copy the font that you want to use in this folder... [Like I use my zapper font, so I renamed it beforehand to "font_temp" and copied it in the memory card]

9. All done, just restart your mobile and you'll be able to see the changed font...

Can you no longer do it the other way you posted for Symbian ^3, N8 etc once you update to Anna?

Well, the previous way too works, but only with nokia pure font... Even if you try any other font, it'll display the nokia pure font...

it works with the old way too......
just go to Z:/resource/fonts... there are 14 fonts in this directory
make 14 copies of the font to be installed. rename them by the 14 names and place them (the new ones) in a folder named "fonts"
copy this folder and paste it in memory card in directory "resource" (i always prefer the memory card because in case something goes wrong the phone doesn't really gets damaged.... i just remove the memory card.....)
here are the font names......

worked perfectly for me.....


still i think font zoomer is much faster when someone wants to try many fonts......
i did all these arjun, but it didn't work......
i used font zoomer 2.21... i will try it with the "lite" version too and let u know.....
"lite" version works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but u can skip step 5......
