how to change the font of Nokia 5800 XM?

Nokia 5800 XM

if you want to change your Nokia 5800 font, here is the step by step and i guarantee it will works for your phones too.

Some requirements:

•A file manager for S60v5 (i recomend Lonely Cat Games X-plore)
•Card reader, data cable or bluetooth
•Some .ttf font collection
•And a cup of coffee
Here is the step to change your Nokia 5800 font:

1.Open X-plore, go to configuration menu and tick “show hidden files and system folders” option.
2.Go to z:/resource/fonts folder and write down all file names on that folder (different firmware is using different file names too, my own is S60SC.ccc, S60TCHK.ccc and S60ZDIGI.ttf).
3.Make a three copy of your new font and rename it as you found on step 2 (three copy of arial.ttf to S60SC.ccc, S60TCHK.ccc and S60ZDIGI.ttf).
4.Connect your phone or memory card to your computer.
5.Go to e:/resource (memory card) and make a new folder called “Fonts”.
6.Send all your custom fonts in step 3 into that new folder (it must be e:/resource/fonts/S60SC.ccc, S60TCHK.ccc and S60ZDIGI.ttf).
7.Restart and you have the font changed!
