Be aware that doing this will disable the phone’s ability to connect via USB as a mass storage device.
so thats a no no no for n95 8gb and n81 8gb and any other devices with inbuilt memory because we have no memory cards to remove.
Thanks for the information, dani2xll! I haven´t thought of that, I will add this information to my tutorial.
The only way to connect your phone as a mass storage device after changing the font is to restart it without memory card. This doesn’t always work though but it worked for me a few times when I really needed the mass storage function.
Nice Tutorial, just a shame about the Mass Storage bug. I use it a lot, so this is a no go for me until it gets sorted out.
Hey without reading the mass storage Bug, I did this for my N95 8GB…Is there a way to get rid of this now….am not able to connect as mass storage :((
Nice tutorial… But, anybody have a good set of fonts to use with my Nokia? (E61 currently :))
Thanks a lot for the tutorial. I am now *finally* able to view Japanese characters on my Nokia6120c 🙂 On my phone though, there’s a bug that makes the phone crash and restart by itself when I go to Settings -> Language. Maybe it’s because of the nature of the font I used? I don’t need to change the language anyway, so this bug is a minor inconvenience to me.
You van change back and allow data transfer mode
1. turnoff phone
2.take mmc out
3.whait until phone boot again and than put your mmc inside
4.allow data transfer mode and rename folder or just tranfer what you meant to

Well, it might not work this way on 6120. I did all the steps mentioned but the fonts did not change. Maybe only some fonts work.

So, it is true, not all fonts will be accepted to be used. On nokia 6120 I tried more than one and some are shown some not. And on this phone model is enough to copy the fonts to the card (resource/fonts) and not change the names and it installed them. I used them with mobireader and works ok even if they are romanian caracters. Well, you need to find the FONTS which work and which not, but with 6120 from 15 fonts 10 worked after copying them on the phone card with their original names.
I’m so glad, and thank to all who contributed this page.

help! how to remove this!!! i did this on my nokia n91. now i can;t use the mass storage
Jay just delete the “fonts” folder you made and reboot the phone.
dON’T WORK ON e65
i did all these steps on my nokia n95 but nothing happened… any idea y?
how can this step be made on n92? i tried, but no effect..
It definately does work on the N95.
@mike: Maybe you made a typing mistake in the files.
@jay: The N91 has a built-in memory. You have to reset your phone by tiping in: *#7370#
–> Important: All data on the phone will be deleted!
Good day. I seem to got lost on the 4th instruction. kindly please help me out. I really need to have the fonts of my e61 bigger.
i got lost on the 4th instruction. can you assist me please. need to have my fonts bigger using my e61 phone.
Thanks,
How to do stap 4?
nokia 6120 update to version 04.21
Tryed it on my N95 and it doesnt work there was not a folder called fonts in resources to start with like in youre instruction any ideas.
I have Nokia N95. And I did what you said. And it worked
To all those who don´t understand step 4:
You have different files in the folder fonts. Now you show them on your display and write them down to a piece of paper. Later you rename the new font to these names.
hi can u help me with my N93. i’ve tried to create a folder name resource on my mmc, but it kept saying file name already exists.
hi mac,
I think that on your mmc there already is the folder resource. You have to activate that you want to see all folders (the hidden ones too) in the explorer of your computer. Because normally it´s a hidden folder.
I tried this with a few different fonts. I never touched the z drive, only copied the names. I have removed the fonts from my memory card, but one of the previous fonts I used is still used and is the only font left in the z drive. Would there be any way to fix this or does anyone have the original fonts for the N75?
So, does this mean, on E90, I can use only 4 fonts at a time?
You don’t need to rename the font file names, and also you can put as many fonts you need, not only 4. At least this worked on my E90, now I can read Bengali characters.
@ Brian:
Have you turned your phone off and on again? This should fix the problem. If it won´t fix the problem leave a comment.
That didn’t work. I left it that changed for a few weeks and recently wanted to switch back, then realized it wouldn’t be so easy. Somehow the files on my memory card replaced those on the phone.

how to change font of m phone because it appears on my
z: resource/fonts/
S60SC.ccc
S60TCHK.ccc
S60ZDIGI.ttf
thats all, please help me i want to change my fonts
I tried the same way and it works well.
Just 1 more time:
1. Use F-Explorer or Y-Explorer, go to Z:\Resource\Fonts, see what are the fonts you have (different region got different fonts). in Asian Pacific: it is:
S60SC.ccc
S60TCHK.ccc
S60ZDIGI.ttf
2. So just create a folder, copy any TRUE TYPE FONT from your C:\Windows\Fonts to that folder (remember: TTF) . I recommend Tahoma, Arial or Verdana.
3. Make 2 copies of that fonts, then rename all 3 files to what you see in Z:\Resource\Fonts
4. Connect your mobile to PC using USB-data mode.
5. Copy the fonts you changed to E:\Resource\Fonts (E: is your memory card). If the folder not exist, just create it.
Reboot and enjoy.
PS: You can use Font Magnifier to adjust the size ^^ ! I’m now reading Vietnamese on my N95 comfortably
i follow your instructions and it worked well , i install 4 diff. fonts , but how can i use the others ? please help .. my phone is N81 .
Do u know how to rename a theme? I just soo tired to find themes that the name just like Winter Moon, Pinky, Days To Come, etc. But all I found is like these, WinterMoon_by_babi, pinky, Days_To_Come and so on.
If I aksed the creator of the theme to rename it just as I wanted, they don’t want it coz they afraid I want to sell it, it’s rubish, it’s only to my personal N80, N73 & E70
As far as I know you can’t rename themes, maybe with Carbide.UI, but I don’t know because I don’t work with themes – I only use them 😉
which font should I use to read Japanese?
I have renamed all 4 font names and put into created font folder then pasted to mem card in resourses restarted my phone and nothing has happened. nohindisnr60.ttf, nohindissb60.ttf, nohinditsb60.ttf, S60ZDIGI.ttf
the font has changed in the web browser but nowhere else.
Please give me an answer.This folder who is in E:/Resource namely “Fonts” don’t delete.Why?How can i delete this folder?
@ Clau:
Just take out the memory card and delete it with your computer.

How to change the fonts on Nokia E71??
You can change the font on the E71 as it is described in the tutorial.
can someone tell me is there any way to remove custom font on nokia n95 8gb because i want to change fonts but im afraid that i will have troubles to remove them later? thanks
Better don’t change it on the N95 8GB, if you want to change back to the original font you will have troubles and you will need to reset the whole phone.
okay, thanks dude
I can’t instal on my E71 Y-browser explorer.
“Certificate error ! Contact the application supplier.” That is writing every time when i’m trying to instal something on my E71.
Help Please !!! Thank you !!!
The same is writing when i’m trying to change the theme…. 😦
I think you need to activate that all applications getting installed. (I don’t know the exactly path on Eseries but on my Nseries it is: menu > applications > application manager > options > settings > software istallation > all)
h3lp plz … ive installed font on my phone memory , now i cannot change that …heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp …….
Reset the phone and the default font should be there again.
Hi ! please help ! I have a Nokia N73 modified( it was n73 then n73 MusicEdition and now it’s Internet edition ). The phone has only two languages English and Chinese (Traditional), the problem in that when i change the fonts some characters are not shown when i try to ad to a note some symbols. For example in stead of a SPACE it shows a square 🙂 . What can i do ? By the way, in the Fonts folder i have s60sc.ccc, S60TCHK.ccc and S60ZDIGI.ttf files.
I have found some of the characters not shown they are the currency (pound, euro, dollar,yenn), the space character and the enter character . I’m not sure if those are the only ones not shown. But i tryed the Tahoma(in has 1 mega) font from my WinXP fonts and it worked without the space and enter chars. sorry for the double post.
Hey zander,
You can try out another font. Or if you know how, try to modify the font and add the symbols you want (I don’t know if it’s possible or not to modify fonts, but maybe you can find something)
Uhhh….I’ve Restored My Phone To The Original settings , But , yet i have my problem , that I’ve Installed Fonts on My Phone memory and now , that font , replaced itself , whit the Original Phone font ….

Hi genna,
This tutorial is for S60 3rd Edition devices only, the N70 is 2nd Edition.
I did this on my N95 8gb. After that I couldn’t use it as a mass storage device even in Nokia PC Suite. I didn’t have to return the phone to factory settings to fix it. I just reformatted the mass storage device using the built in memory utility. I guess the 8gb has this problem because you can’t remove the memory card. What a pain.
I have n73 and upgrade to n73me. Tried to change font and follow the steps but still not worked. Pls. help! I have fonts on phone memory s60sc.ccc s60tchk.ccc s60zdigi.ttf
Does this also change the font in messaging?
