Wink Is there a way to download new fonts for the Blackberry 8700? - 02-27-2006, 01:19 PM

Is there a way I can get some new ones. Kind of weak that only choose between 3. I would like to have a thicker, bold font.

I don't believe there is any way to download fonts.

My 8700 has 11 fonts; where are you seeing only three?

I "see" 11, but they are basically slight variations on three fonts. I want something in bold, and more choices.

If you really want more fonts. You can use the Plazmic Theme Builder to create a theme with a lot of other fonts. The don't work everywhere, but do in most places. Another disadvantage is that you can't change fonts from the Options while using the homemade theme. Check out the topic "Create your own themes" on the Ringtones, Themes, and Wallpapers forum

Hope this helps.

Just to add a subsequent thought, I believe the Theme Builder can use all the fonts from the Windows OS. At least when I try to change fonts there, I have a heck of a lot of choices. Be wary though, the actual font size displayed is not always the same for the same as selected. IE a size 10 in one font type might not be the same size as a size 10 in another, but this is no different from MS word.

Hope this helps.
