gaurav’s rants

hi guys.. been a really really long time since my last post, i’m sure many of you thought i’ve abandoned my blog, but i haven’t..
been busy with all sorts of things, last sememster at college being the primary reason for my inactivity..

i’m proud to present to you the latest version of FontSwap, version 1.3.

have incorporated most of the features i thought i would and then some, really glad about the way it has turned out. i hope you guys enjoy using it as much as i enjoyed creating it..

changelog:
1. previews of fonts before install
2. checks metadata prior to installing font so you don’t have to worry about it.
3. checks font package format before install
4. fixes bug that caused crash when device was on wifi but had no internet connection
5. improved metadata detection

the previews are fetched from the fontswap webserver and i’ve tried to maintain as many font previews there as possible, will be adding more from time to time..

IMPORTANT:
as mentioned in previous posts as well, this application doesn’t do anything that can leave your device unusable. there is *absolutely* no need to restore your device if something goes wrong during the use of this application.
to fix any error that you think has been caused by FontSwap, simply connect over SSH to your device and run the the command
“/Applications/FontSwap.app/restore”
without the quotes..
as long as you have SSH and WiFi set to always on (which is a smart thing to do on a jailbroken device) you can recover from most crashes whether or not they’re caused by FontSwap.
