There is a PC version, its actually the intended version, the Mobile Edition only came because it looked good on the phone
it currently only has the Regular as I'm still working on the rest of the font family, there is already a senspace link at the bottom of the post
But it dont have any Cryillic charactors "yet".
k50i? do you mean k750i?
No the phone needs to support ttf fonts so anything from k800 to newer.

I dont fully understand, sorry.
Do you mean you want to keep the fonts you currently have and replace the default English charactor set with the Sony Sketch font?
If so i would need a copy of your phones "tpa/preset/system/font" directory, all ttf files and the FONT.XML to do that, but it will take time to edit the Glyph set but ill do my best to do it quick if you give my those files so i can edit them

The patch changes the icons "A, Aa, a, T9, 123" while writing Text/SMS to match the font, see in screen shot's
Also packed with the icons so they can be used with other phones/FW but you would need to make patch if you want in other.
Also added preview of Italic version to first post thats due soon.

Added v.1.0.9 with lots of bug fixes to language accents, also packed bold alpha edition.
Posted by boooooo
it seems that fonts doesnt work on my k810i.
i flashed the three files, in 1.0.9, bold, normal and fonts.xml. nothing changed.
later i flashed the fonts.xml with lm edition font. nothing changed. i tried again by changing the font name as it written in fonts.xml file. again nothing.
i cannot find where i have mistaken.
fonts are awesome but i can not install them
edit: nevermind i finally found my mistake. i am using setool and i wrote the folder name tpa/preset/system/font instead of fonts.
now i am using the fonts. perfect work @diezil, thanks...

Use font creator, I wouldn't bother with fontlab..... it miss calculates the Glyphs when generating (biulding) the font, it has a few more features but its no use when it messes up all the hard work, font creater has almost all the same stuff and saves to ttf perfectly

Thats a actually a bigger job then it sonds
maybe at some point I'll "try" to add it, but there is a few things need done to the current languages at the minute.
Sorry but I'll try to add chinese at some point I just don't know when I'll have time
PS: do you have a font file (must be .ttf not .ccc) with chinese language in it?

Currently I dont know which program can open .ccc font files
, or id be trying to add it, as I'm just testing the Cyrillic at the minute (only one character needs altered before the release).
But I think there is a specific software but I dont have or know which (I say specific software as it is also the only soft capable of opening a FULL chinese font file 66.000 characters).

I like the font very much!!!
It's only a little bit smaller! Is it possible to make the font 1 or 2 points bigger?
This is the difference:
Left is new, right is original

do we have to change the font files in our phones? does new files make any change after the 1.0.9?
or the change only works in computers?
Posted by jakontil
thanks mate! the last version works well with UIQ, mine is W960i and it doesnt mess up with the menu anymore
may be someone can work on the size a little bigger? that'll be a great bonus!

v.2.0.5 has Bold/Italic/Bold-Italic font files, its the "Full Font Family" and also has some language fixs (Cyrillic), and now works with UIQ
and yes due to the Cyrillic fix you will need to change the regular also.
Font now comes with warning.........
has a compatibility issue with Opera Mini v4.
Opera Mini v4 for some reason needs to gather info about the font and eats ALL available memory and causes the phone to reboot, I personally thinks its Opera's bug, v4 is a total rebuild from ground up and Opera Mini v3 works without any issue's, but I'll be looking into it and trying to find a solution ASAP (but if it is indeed a bug Opera Mini v4 then we may need to wait for Opera to find the bug, but I have posted on opera forum about how it handles fonts (and its not the only problematic font related thread on there forums about OM v4) so hopefully if its there bug thealready trying to fix it
