There are times when a person gets tired of the way the phone user interface is, in most cases, the simple task of changing the subject acts as a drink, but those of you who want more – read on. Changing fonts in 5800 is a simple matter of copying a folder at all and restart the phone, the process takes less than 2 minutes and want to return to the original sources, even less time consuming.
Instructions:
1. You’ll need a memory card. Do not do this from mass memory.
2. Then get any True type font you wish ( should be of extension .ttf ) . You can download fonts online (just google for them) or find them on your pc. (In XP go to control panel>fonts) Yes I’m still on XP and will be until they stop supporting it :p.
3. In the Memory Card’s Root (the first main view with all the other folders) create a new folder called Resource. E.g. you should now have F:/Resource
4. Now inside F:/Resource create a new folder called “Fonts” so now you’ll have F:/Resource/Fonts
5. Paste your font there. I have chosen Avenir which is very similar to the Palm Pre’s Prelude font.
6. Now make four copies of it. Ignore the “copy of….” we’ll change that. After, rename each one to have the exact names as shown below. (In windows you won’t see the ttf bit.)
- nosnr60.ttf
- nssb60.ttf
- nstsb60.ttf
- S60ZDIGI.ttf
7. Turn your phone off. Pop the memory card back in. Reboot.
PROCEDURE TO REVERT TO THE ORIGINAL
- Connect the phone in the ‘Mass Storage’ profile to the computer. Alternatively, you can use the memory card reader.
- Goto the Memory Card, it shows up as a Removable Disk in ‘My Computer’. (Windows)
- Navigate to the ‘resource’ folder and open it.
- Delete the folder labeled ‘Fonts’. Alternatively you can choose to rename it to ‘Fonts2′ or anything that you like.
- Restart the phone, the originals should have been restored.
