Me want fonts

today i was typing in pocket word and all of a sudden Tahoma seems to be an ugly font for no apparent reason. so i went to 'format' & try to get some better looking fonts. and guess what? there are only 3 fonts I can access from pocket word

how can i install new fonts and where do i get them?

If you want to save these fonts on storage card, use Font On Storage.

I would also like some different fonts. Can you be more specific in how to Activesync them over? Once done, can you use these other fonts on the Today screen? TIA.

ok i went to the Fonts directory and grabbed a font. for Times New Roman there are 4 files:

TNR
TNR bold
TNR bold italic
TNR italic

does it mean in need to copy all 4 to get the bold & italic fonts?
also, is there anyway to set it to the default font in pocket word? cos i think mine is stuck with tahoma.

btw gigi, that font on storge prog rocks :)

Just copy them from windows fonts on your PC to windows fonts on your ppc.
You may need some hack software to get them on your today screen

It's really as simple as it sounds, just highlight the ones you want in your desktop pc's font folder, copy, then paste to your Windows/fonts folder on the pocket pc. Bear in mind tho, some font sets are HUGE, like several MB, particularly the tru-type fonts. But if you choose some basic ones like the Monotype Corsiva or Comic Sans, they display nicely on your handheld and don't take up much space. You may even try creating a fonts folder on your sd/cf card (if you use either) and put the fonts there first to see if that works. Some people are using the FontsOnStorage proggy, I guess that would work, I've never tried it.

Please help with a memory refresher(mine, not my Axim's). How do I change fonts on the Today screen?

You can download a free font type per month at http://www.freefont.de/us/freefon3.htm
You can also buy font packs. Have at it...

Let me rephrase the above question.

As you can see by the attache thumbnail, I was able to use the transferred font for WA2 and Pocket Plus. I used Tweaks2k2 to apply the font to the system. It does not change the rest of the Today screen, however. Does anyone know if/how that can be done?

That is Juni's "Navigator" skin. You can get it at Handango and, I think, Pocketgear.
