Font replacement on Android

Hardware: Motorola Milestone
Platform: Android 2.1 Build no SHOLS_U2_02.36.0

Software: Root Explorer

Preparation: Get your android rooted

Files:Three files should be exchanged which are on the directory of /system/fonts/
  DroidSans.ttf              Default system's English font
  DroidSans-Bold.ttf      Default system's English bold font
  DroidSansFallback.ttf  Default system's font for other language (for Asian language in my case)

Use any .ttf font as you like to replace them. Change the name according to their usage. Rename them or replacement would be OK.

Before restart the OS, remember:
★ Change the permission of these three files to rw-r--r-- (User: Read/Write; Group: Read; Others: Read)


Then restart your android.

*BE CAREFUL! USE AS YOUR OWN RISK
