aln requested in my other post NeoTech Custom Font for iPhone 2.0 for a custom clock font.. actually i did convert the clock font i had on my 1.1.4 iPhone for the 2.0 fw.. just did not share it earlier..

here’s the Gas icon for the clock.. my favorite yet..

[ this screenshot is not mine.. i've yet to discover a way to take a screenshot of the lock screen on 2.0.. Home+Sleep/Wake just dont work :( ]

Download: Gas Custom Clock Font for iPhone 2.0 (2693)

installation:

Step 1: Install OpenSSH from Cydia (found easily in featured apps)

Step 2: Restart iPhone

Step 3: Use WinSCP to connect to the iPhone via your IP address Username:root Password: alpine

Step 4: Download the file linked above.

Step 5: Navigate to the following folders on your iPhone using WinSCP or FUGU and rename the following files, adding .bak at the end
[this is just a precautionary measure, you don't ever wanna lose your original files]

/System/Library/Fonts/Cache/LockClock.ttf

copy the custom LockClock.ttf you downloaded in this folder.

Step 6: Restart iPhone

Step 7: Enjoy!

had some trouble with this initially as Apple decided to change the name of the font [not the filename, the actual fontname] maybe just to mess around with people who like to mod and customize their iPhone..
the PS Fontname & Full Fontname has been changed to LockClock-Light from LockClock as it used to be in 1.1.4.. also the Family Name, Menu Name & FOND Name has been changed to .LockClock which used to be simply LockClock in 1.1.4. this makes no sense to me as it simply makes the fonts incompatible between the two versions when there hasn’t been any glyph changes in the default font..
if you’re having trouble getting your custom font to work with 2.0 then overlooking the changes is the likely culprit..
if you have a really really cool font that you think everyone should have on their iPhone then please drop links to a screenshot and the font file in the comments.. i’ll be glad to get them ported for the clock font as soon as i get the time..

cheers..

EDIT:
as some people may still be on 1.1.4 here’s the clock font for iPhone 1.1.4 Gas Custom Clock Font for iPhone 1.1.4 (393)
