FontCollection v1.6 by Almoko - Customize your BlackBerry with different fonts!

FontCollection v1.6 by Almoko

Almoko has released a new app called FontCollection for your BlackBerry. Personally I was super excited when I saw this in the CrackBerry store, because I love fonts and the chance to add some cool new ones to my BlackBerry was intriguing. Usually you are stuck with the stock fonts on your device, or if you change themes, the font that the theme developer used. With FontCollection you can browse through more than 60 fonts, right on your BlackBerry! You install the fonts you want, and then access them through your Options menu. FontCollection is available for just $.99 in the CrackBerry store and is compatible with devices running OS 5.0 and BB6.

Important notes:

  • All fonts in the FontCollection are free for commercial usage.
  • English fonts only are supported at this moment.
  • BlackBerry OS 5.0+ supported.
  • Small footprint

Bought it, no Arial for the fail.

Pretty sure arial can't be freely distributed without paying premiums. There are free similar alternatives though.

Does it support cooline font?

No Cooline.

As a fan of slashed zeroes, this was a must buy for me. I think there's 3 or 4 fonts on here with slashes. Ended up with "Grayscale". Great app at a great price. Only drawback is that there's no way of knowing which fonts are on there. But for $0.99, can't really complain.

Just bought it! How long is the delivery time on this thing? I am anxious to try.....

 
 
Posted by bronko213 Tuesday, Dec 28, 2010 513 days ago

Got it. Love it. It was only .99 but I wish RIM could have just added more font options from the get go.

So I installed this and I'm not seeing the additional fonts...is there some sort of waiting period to where they have to be "delivered" to the phone?

 
 
Posted by bronko213 Tuesday, Dec 28, 2010 513 days ago

Took about 10 min before the OTA was delivered to my device. From there, you will have to open the app, and download the fonts to your blackberry. Some pretty cool options, I really like it!

I figured out through the forums what I was doing wrong and I was able to fix my problem...I like the fonts I see!!! Too bad RIM couldn't offer these as a standard...

Good to see that someone is taking advantage of RIM's failures to provide us what we want and still make a buck.

Lol do the other platforms allow you to change fonts. w/o having to download 3rd party apps. This app is great. Defenitely best buck ever spent!

didn't like the app so i deleted it and now all of my oem fonts are all distorted my phone looks like crap, i just did a swype and restore nothing is working... im pissed as all hell...

 
 
Posted by jwk4615 Tuesday, Dec 28, 2010 513 days ago

it looks just like the font smoothing is turned off but the torch has no font smoothing option :-( im very sad...

 
 
Posted by Michelle Haag Tuesday, Dec 28, 2010 513 days ago

Options>Display>Screen Display
That's where your font smoothing option is on the the Torch. :)

 
 
Posted by jwk4615 Tuesday, Dec 28, 2010 513 days ago

Not on my torch its not

 
 
Posted by jwk4615 Tuesday, Dec 28, 2010 513 days ago

Anyways their customer support helped me fix it, thank god because doing my system restore didn't work... phew... so download away lol, lots of kool fonts just so hard to read most of them are (why did that come out like yoda?)

Thanks so much! I have a new toy now. The Angelina font looks just like my handwriting. So cool.

Can I request additonal font to be included? Currently, I cannot read myanmar font in my BB. I have The font which can read myanm$ar font in window which is zawgyi.ttf. If you would help to include that font, the whole BB community of myanmar people will buy this software.

I want to just use this in emails, text messages and BBM. I don't want these fonts used for my default on the phone.

Love love love this!!!!

 
 
Posted by grberry Wednesday, Dec 29, 2010 512 days ago

But since they haven't, Thanks Almoko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best app ever!!!! makes my blackberry feel new again!!!
looking forward to more fonts and coolness.

Great app for changing Default fonts on your Torch. I am disappointed that when you send out an Email to anyone the Default font on my Torch does not go with it.
When I sent an Email to Techinical support asking how to let the recipient read the Email with the font selected on my device I received the following reply:
Sorry, this is not possible with FontCollection. It does not change other's default font. Although this is a very good idea for another app

Hope they upgrade this app to do the above on outgoing Email or develops a new app that will.

i just purchased this 20minutes ago and still did not received any reply email or OTA.

not good at all.

 
 
Posted by msnethra Thursday, Dec 30, 2010 511 days ago

Thanks a million for the info. Its really cool

 
 
Posted by Niz Thursday, Dec 30, 2010 511 days ago

I thought I was gonna get shook down for .99 but this is very cool!!

Some fonts are a little difficult to read, but I like "Garton", it rocks! Oh, and it works on quick launch fonts too!

I got the download link in my email immediately after purchase, there's an OTA link in the email. Not sure why folks are having trouble downloading it? took about 30 seconds to get it and set it up too.

Good luck

I really like this!! I've been wanting something like this for a while. I've been hoping RIM would add more fonts...

I have noticed, if you change the font, it crashes your berry. Been having some big problems!
