Heres a weird one fellas.

Using Sman, I installed a load of TTF fonts some time ago. At present I use a font called FuturaNaBook. HOWEVER, a font I had installed called Bloodgutter (now removed) is what QuickWord uses to display text in. The font isnt even on my phone anymore, well not in Smans fonts list, so how is QuickWord still able to display that font and why did it choose that one in the first place given that FuturaNaBook is the font the rest of the phone displays text in?

That happened to me before too, but I removed the font and got rid of it. Do you have that font maybe copied to some other folder? Just a suggestion.

same problem for me with quickword and opera.

The true type font is localised to C:\ or D:\system\font with file named truetype.dll

And the problem is the Kilo octet of the font!
If the font (localised in D:\system\font) is smaller than the font use on a software, the smaller font is used !!!

example: vera.ttf 12ko (in D:\system\font)
polo.ttf 24ko (in C:\system\app\opera)

if opera use by default polo.ttf , it will be change by vera.ttf because it's smaller!

That's why I don't use little "ttf" file.
