Default Restore system fonts?

I recently changed my fonts using Type Fresh, I had made a Backup of the system fonts then loaded Fonts into Clocktopia, DroidSans-Bold and DroidSans and now the backup is gone and the font looks bad. Is there any way to reset the fonts without doing a factory reset?

I am not familiar with Type Fresh, but as long as the only file(s) it modified or replaced were the .ttf files, then this should do the trick for you.

1) Download this .zip: Stock-Font.zip (Stock-Font.zip)
2) Boot into recover
3) MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4) Flash the .zip (Stock-Font.zip)
5) Reboot

If you see anything funky, you will probably need to re-flash your ROM. Typically, you can reflash the ROM without any wipes, but may need a wipe as well.

Give it a try and see what happens.

And then if you want to get a really cool elegant looking font, go to the link in my sig and find Teddy'sfontupdate.zip (or whatever I named it) and follow Krato's instructions above and try it out.

good luck
