    I can’t wait till it comes out. I hate the default font… I’m gonna use Arctic Monkeys for everything….

  9. ZAKsPop

    Everyone be patient. The problem is Apple changed the format the fonts use and all fonts have to be converted.

  10. RedEyes717

    finally Guarav started workin’ on it again (twitter).

    Until FontSwap works you can use Calibri font as a substitute for the boring standard font. Looks much better,though I prefer Hand of Sean myself. Here is the link,make sure to read the readme included in the file. Cheers :)

  16. Diari

    hey ok thanks for the info on the fontswap…it was pissing me off that i couldnt change my font. but i have another question…is anyone having problems getting keyboard themes from cydia for their iphone 4? they just dont seem to work for me :(

  17. Daniel

    @JGlenellen thanks for the tip! Is anyone having issues changing the font on the springboard icons/text messages/Phone favorites? I have tried Calibri and a couple others and it will not change for me!

  18. Daniel

    @Diari Cydia keyboard themes haven’t worked since iOS 2.x. As far as I know, you can only change the font of the letters, not the keyboard theme itself.

    Hey Daniel I had trouble adding fonts myself. Of course FontSwap works beautifully for the lock clock, just not the System font. I tried as suggested in a few forums, changing the Heveltica files, but I respring and it never works. I’m pretty much ready to leave it to Fontswap to hit us with a beautiful iP4 update. Tired of struggling with this. I will gladly pay for an update FontSwap.
