iPhone 3G - Tips and Tricks #7

How do you change the fonts of your iPhone ?
The default font used is Helvetica.ttf and HelveticaBold.ttf for most of the characters. Changing it is a breeze if you have already JB your iPhone. Question will be where to get the fonts, I found this http://blog.gauravgiri.com/, quite a number of very great looking fonts. Personally, I quite like Neo Sans Intel one.

Once you downloaded the font files,

1) Get your iPhone on your home Wifi
2) SSH into iPhone
3) Navigate to /system/library/fonts/cache
4) Rename Helvetica.ttf and HelveticaBold.ttf to something else
5) Copy over the fonts you downloaded
6) You need to rename the new font files to Helvetica.ttf and HelveticaBold.ttf
