    Hey guys, I've noticed that this question is getting asked more and more recently on here and elsewhere. I can't steal all the credit as, Europa (who was helped by Kaba) provided me with links to get the job done.

    Right, the system font on the iP4 is, Helvetica and HelveticaNeue. They are both .ttc files.

    These two files are located: /System/Library/Fonts/Cache

    What you need to do is SSH in and copy these two files and create back-ups. Then find an iP4 ported font, rename the two files so they say 'Helvetica.ttc' and 'HelveticaNeue.ttc' - make sure you name the fonts correctly.

    Then literally drag the the new fonts into /System/Library/Fonts/Cache and overwrite the existing Helvetica files and respring the device. You now have a new system font.


    If you look below, I'm using, Neutraface 2.

    Enjoy.

    I can't take the credit, either. KabaModern provided me with links and directions. :)

    Nice theme, it looks great!

    Well, as a community, we've helped each other. My theme is nowhere where I want it to be. I need a new dock and a high-res wallpaper. I want the dock you've got lol. It's brilliant.

    To all those who PM'd me overnight, I should have sent the font out to all of you.

    FYI - I didn't create the font, so I can't take any credit for passing information on.

    ^ haha nice.
    I went to iPhoneRuler, site is put together nicely.
    But the Font I downloaded does not change the fonts in the settings, such as the text of Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, Notifications, ect. What is the OEM font used for that stuff?
