An excellent set of cab files have been released by the one and only XDA-Developers for those of you out there looking to change up the default font on your Windows Mobile 6 devices.  There are 3 cab files to choose from at this point which each assign a different default font to Windows Mobile 6 so you can choose as you please.  Our personal favorite has to be the Calibri font, but that’s just our opinion (although we don’t know how you could disagree). 

Make sure to show XDA-Developers some love for their continued support to the Windows Mobile Community. If you decide that you do not like any of the 3 fonts contained in these cabs you can go ahead and follow the do it yourself instructions below to use any font you would like to install as the default font on Windows Mobile 6.

download TTF myriad.CAB, CALIBRI.CAB or Segoe UI.CAB

For Those of You Looking For DO IT YOURSELF Instructions:
Using the default Vista font “Segoe UI” EXAMPLE
1. Copy your font file (usually *.ttf) into /Windows/Fonts. Be sure to note the INTERNAL name of the font (find it out by double-clicking on the file in Windows)
in this case “Segoe UI”
2. Using your favorite registry editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SysFnt
3. Find the key named “Nm”. Replace what’s in it (usually Tahoma) with the name of the font, in this case “Segoe UI”
4. Repeat III for “HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\Menufnt\Barfnt” and “Popfnt”
4.1 Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\V1
- look for something like FontAliases. The keys inside represent the font “choices” -you have (which default to Tahoma), and look like Arial:-12. Change the value -from Tahoma* to Segoe UI*.
- Rinse and repeat.
5. Reset
And that’s it ! The Segoe font renders much more easier to the eyes with Cleartype (and the spacing is really nice)
