I followed the little instructions posted by Gaurav and it worked just fine with Calibri (plain, bold, italic, bold italic)

Plizzo told me you wrote a guide on how to port fonts. (I'd LOVE to see Myriad on my iPod). HAve you posted it anywhere yet?

Oh, and THANKS! Using Calibri until I get Myriad, and it looks great! Thanks!

Would it be possible to get plain Calibri for the Lock Clock? The one I downloaded looks like it might be bold, and I think it'd look really nice thinner.

I believe there's more than that, especially editing the font in a Font Editor and rename it with the editor. Because every font file embeds the than of the font, the PostScript name, and so on...

I'd love to know how to do it specifically anyway

i'm writing a tutorial right now.. should be ready and on my blog by tomorrow..
it's taking time because i'm trying to organize it in a decent enough manner and also trying to address all the problems that i faced so that you don't have to..

btw Calibri LockClock font is plain Calibri. i checked..

That's great news; do fonts using this cache method require any modification whatsoever beforehand or do they just work?

most of them should just work. you just have to make sure that the correct font names and font family names are present in the fonts. and make required changes in the CGFontCache.plist file. some fonts might not work due to some reason or another, i have no way to be sure. though all should work with simple modifications.

Thanks for the information Gaurav.

What about making clock with Matrix Code font :  http://www.dafont.com/font.php?file=matrix_code_nfi   ?

@Sakurina: i've updated the font template archive.
it now has the fonts Helvetica.ttf, HelveticaBold.ttf, LockClock.ttf and MarkerFeltThin.ttf, all with setting that work.. well atleast for me.. so you can use these template fonts and directly get to the glyph copy step.. please report back if it still doesn't work for you..

I'm not trying to replace Helvetica/LockClock/Marker Felt though. I'm trying to add new fonts and your guide doesn't seem to mention that I need to copy glyphs for that to even work. :S

added Neo Sans Intel System font.

^look for Neo Keys, Neo Keys Dark and Neo Keys Dark [WhiteSpace] on Cydia

Hi,

can you share your carrier logo?

Thanks I've been using the matrix clock for a while now.
(Here is a screenshot in case anyone wondered what it looked like actually in use.)
