Well... I tried it - seemed to work fine, I connected my phone to the docking station and when I removed it it was frozen. I had to take the battery out to reboot
- when I got back in my applications on the mem stick wouldn't work - greyed out icons - Swiss manager, PDF+ Standard, Olive Tree Bible Reader - and strangely enough Opera - which should be installed with the OS!!! ???? - I could still access videos & stuff that were stored on the Mem Stick.
I rebooted again and it was the same. I turned it off and put the mem stick in a card reader, deleted the fonts directory on the mem stick, re-inserted the mem stick and AFAIK everything is back to normal...
Any ideas???
I think it's because you put your phone in "file mode" and when it froze, it remained in "file mode" and that's why everything was greyed out. You should've connected the phone again just to put it in "phone mode" and everything should be fine.

Excellent!!! This post should be in the top 5. The fonts change your experience with the mobile.
Followed the instructions (excellent post) installed the z8 font from rapidshare (congratz to the designer) rebooted my mobile and everything works great with a nice view.
Everyday i love more my mobile... keep em coming.

I just realized I needed to use another File Manager. I installed Swiss Manager
and looked for the original fonts on the ROM to copy over to the M2 card. Where are they? There are no fonts listed in the Resource folder.
Thanks!
Never mind...found them...However, I can't create a Resource folder in the d: drive using Swiss Manager nor can I copy over the Resource folder from z: to d:

I created the folders using my laptop but the phone still won't see the fonts.
Do they have to be in a ccc version since the only original font in my ROM drive is this:
Sans-Serif_ChinZi.v225.ccc
There are no ttf files

Well I got a font to load. I renamed one of the ttf files as the original ccc file.
However it looks awful as there is no anti-aliasing.
Arghh why is this so hard?
Edit..this hack won't work for those Asian firmware. See here:

I had that very same problem and nothing I could do would make the phone load the fonts ... then I deleted the fonts directory, re-downloaded the Zip from Rapidshare and placed the files inside a new fonts directory and voila'!!!
My only explanation was that the font files became corrupted somehow.
Tried your solution exactly - and now no problems at all
many thanks LAU

Why do you need to get the original fonts of the phone first? I can just put the fonts on M2 and they work, when I take them off and restart the phone I have the original font back... never used a file browser... Is it to get the names of the original files? Was I just lucky mine have the same names as stated here earlier?
one strange thing that really surprised me, the change of the fonts in the phone also changes the font of my mbw-150 bluetooth watch..!!?? But unfortunatly the motorola font doesn't look as good on that as on my p1... but still readable.. I wil start looking for a font that looks good on both and combine it with the original.. I'll post the result.

Hi guys.
Is it just me or the link for the hybrid Z8 fonts doesn't work?
After d/ling, the contents are not in the .rar file.
It says 383kb in rapidshare (or sth like that) but it's 0kb after I d/l it.
Anybody have the same problem?
Thx!
