Fontswap 2.0 has broken font support. Restore not possible as the folder that contains the original fonts does not exist. ClockFont was modified with FontSwap 1.5 and keeps using the modified font. Rest of the fonts is unavailable and cannot be installed

How to fix it?

  These problems are due to incorrect permissions in the v2.0.1 release. I’ve sent an email to BigBoss requesting an update with fix which should take care of all problems.

    Thanks, that seemed to fix most of the red (!) signs, however, all fonts in the category “System Fonts” except Kitsu TTC still have a red (!) sign. If I click on them and choose install, it says:
    
    “Selected font package appears to have missing fonts and cannot be installed on the device”
    
    Any idea on how to fix this?
    
    iOS 4.2.1

    Thank you for this new release, been waiting for it for quite some time now!
    I have the same issue as Fontswapper with the red exclamation signs in the System fonts.
    
    I really want the NeoTech font back for my device (which can’t be installed now due to the error stated previously), and I used to do a workaround which involved manually changing the font in the filesystem. Do I still have to do that or do you have a quick fix for us?
    
    Thanks a lot, keep up the great work!

I don’t know if the problem is related to the first poster but I am having problems opening fontswap (it just shows the default screen then crashes in less than 2 seconds).

Also on the new keyboard font (kitsu?) the font only shows up when I press/hold down on the letter rather than by default in portrait mode yet appears in landscape. As a side note, I would like to uninstall this font however I am not able to revert to default because there is no option to do so.

I have an iPod 2g mc greenpois0ned on 4.2.1 if that helps

Hi,

I installed FontSwap, using Cydia, on my iPhone4 (iOS 4.0.1).

It didnt install correctly and wont uninstall, now also i cant update any other apps through Cydia.

The error i get in red is…

I wasnt able to locate file for the com.gauravgiri.fontswapstarter package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.

PLEASE HELP!! Thanks
