@guarav Thanks, but I have a problem, i followed the steps but instead of Calibri i’m trying to add Tahoma, its not working Safari keeps on crashing if im viewing a site with tahoma font.
One thing I did which you didn’t mention is, I converted the xml file back to binary .plist and then sshd it to fonts folder is this right?
@rahul I used this link, https://brokolice.drsny.net/iphone/plutil/ to convert my .plist

@Hung: WB has the feature to theme the icon labels since long, besides a few other text items like the clock, however it does not make system wide changes as it is not practical to create hooks into all the applications.
a font has to be ported to iPhone for use a tutorial for which can be found in this post..

I now can theme it with winterboard. But there’s 1 thing. Wb does not theme the whole system, it just theme the springboard font. Dont know is it because of the font or what other reason causes this. I remembered I read somewhere that if u want the whole UI font, u have to add sth to the font like when u port it . But i’m still figuring it out

@Hung: yes i tried it too.. apparently WinterBoard doesn’t have this functionality yet. maybe it’s not possible to implement it with WinterBoard. i’ve made a simple [very simple] script that i use to swap fonts on my iPhone though.. will post it soon.

I second that, is it possible to add a second language to the phone, the phone can read the characters of that language with ease, Arabic that is, however the letters are separated, any way where we can attach those letters? and maybe add a keyboard layout?

Thanks

Thanks for writing this. It appears that I followed these steps exactly before all the way up until step 9. I forgot to reboot. Anyways, thanks again
