Hi Joshua,

AFAIK there's no way because to change the default font of the device you need to change a file that's inside the system folder (/system/fonts)...

But maybe you can do it with adb, I never tried...

Hope it helps you.

Bests,

Endy

One of the big reason why some people root their phone is to install custom fonts.
Can Android support changing font feature without rooting so that people don't have to root their phones and be vulnerable to hacks.

Thank you

Thanks Endy,

Yes, I am aware that there's no way to change default font.
So I am asking Google to change platform structure or make a SDK method to be able to add/change default font on next Android version (4.2 or 5.0).

My post is a feature request to Google.

The Google team is unlikely to see this or care, frankly, though if
you really want it changed you should file it as a bug at
b.android.com, under a "feature request." I think it is likely that
if you search that database you will probably find it is already
included..
