    Did you backup and rename each of the files u replaced ... I followed the exact steps like iphonewarrior posted and resprung and it changed all of my fonts.. perhaps you have sum other program installed is preventing it from properly respringing... I know this wasnt a solution but i jus decided to give my interpretation of the situation lol

    Whats the state of the iP4? Can you get root access? If you can, then this is still fixable.

    Whew! I didn't think you could SSH into a rebooting phone. I tried and it worked! So I reinstalled the default font files and it booted into Safe Mode. Ugh, thanks!

    Thanks for the font! Got it working and everything looks great! That font with shrink at 75% looks awesome IMO, Thanks again!

    Well, I had the exact same issue as Emberwild. I backed up the original fonts, renamed/replaced the new fonts with proper spelling, and moved them into the folder to overwrite the originals. Rebooted. Stuck on reboot. I was able to turn the phone off and back on, but even then it is still trying to turn on and nothing is happening - five minutes have passed. ?

    Weirrrrrrrd. SSH'd into the respringing phone, changed back to default fonts, booted into safe mode, resprung, and all is well. That's great (whew!) except I'd really like to change the font! What gives?

    You must have renamed the fonts incorrectly. Use BytaFont, it's available for free in Cydia. It's much easier and safer for those who aren't jedi SSH's :p

    Fortunately, I'm a ninja. Perhaps it won't take me long to hone my ninja SSH skills. (=

    Font

    I know this is a bit out dated, but what is the font you are using for the clock image in this lockscreen? I've been looking everywhere for it.

    It's one of the default fonts that comes with FontSwap. There is an easier method than using SSH to change fonts, you can instal BytaFont from Cydia and apply the fonts through there.
