I'm using the Georgia font (comes with windows). ..I like the irregular numbers.

Btw, anyone have a trick on how to use fonts without a separate file for bold, italic, italic- bold, and so on?

Same as with the icons. Basically, you mirror the files on the rom- drive (z:) over on the mem- stick. And then replace the files on the mem- stick with something else. The phone then reads those files with the identical names on startup, instead of the ones on the rom- drive.

For example, the fonts need to be in d:\\resource\\fonts\\
And there should be four files in the directory:
Sans-Serif_Latin-Regular.ttf
Sans-Serif_Latin-Bold.ttf
Sans-Serif_Latin-BoldItalic.ttf
Sans-Serif_Latin-Italic.ttf

So you'll have to rename your fonts to match those, and then put those in the directory on the mem- stick.

(I'm sure there's some real potential for doing harm here, but not as long as the replaced files are ttf- files, or mbm- files. If things don't work out, just delete the files with x-plore or the cable, and reboot the phone. Worst case, reboot the phone without the mem- card. So.. it's a reversible and safe hack that doesn't actually overwrite anything.)
