    You can't upload fonts on SE K800i without editing the layout.xml file, unless you already have a set of fonts to mach the display perfectly.
    I have found two fonts to match the K800 display size perfectly. They're cool and easy to read. Here they are.

    heheh i'm still around.....:D

    theres not much to do to change the size of the fonts unless you want to redo the whole font character map yourself.
    i haven't tried it as it is a lot of work to be done, and the easier way is to either edit layout.xml or find the right size font for the phone.
    i have gone with 2nd option, and as you can see from the pictures that i posted, it looks (for me) very good. so for now i will stick with this font.

    im looking to use specific fonts of choice to fit into my K800... I have some collections that already are fit for my K800 but I'm looking forward to converting incompatible fonts to work in K800 without needing to alter any settings in the layout.xml...

    I'm still working on it... hopefully I have good results. *continues* ;)

    i mean to change the path in the xml file.

    <xml>
    <engine cache_size="131072" default="yes">
    <font style="arial narrow" weight="normal">/tpa/preset/system/fonts/Arial Narrow_Reg.ttf</font>
    </engine>

    <engine cache_size="262144" default="no">
    <font style="arial narrow" weight="bold" >/tpa/preset/system/fonts/Arial Narrow_Bd.ttf</font>
    <font style="arial narrow" weight="italic" s01="20" >/tpa/preset/system/fonts/Arial Narrow_Reg.ttf</font>
    <font style="arial narrow" weight="bold-italic" s01="20" >/tpa/preset/system/fonts/Arial Narrow_Bd.ttf</font>
    </engine>
    </xml>

    maybe you can change the underline path to the memory stick. and save there the font file.

    Did you no what i mean?

    interesting approach.
    i know for a fact that something similar to that works with icons, i have posted a tutorial how to do that.
    however, i tried using same approach, as i did with icons, with layout.xml (storing it on the M2 card) but it did not work properly.
    if you want to try your approach to store fonts on M2 card then path should be something like this "card/tpa/preset/system/fonts/fontname.ttf"

    post results please.

    i will test it later.
    but one question i have whats the path of the folder "other"
    i want to save the font.tff there. Then i can change the font faster.

    [Edit:] I have test it with "user/other" and "card/other" but it does't work! maybe its not the correct path.
    tomorrow i will test the path "card/tpa/preset/system/fonts/fontname.ttf" but i don't now how i can go to the path and change the front file without any tools. because in the usbmod there is no folder like that.
    I hope i know tomorrow more.
