In reply to Peter. Nevermind, I actually just answered my own question. The application can also use OTF files. Just sharing this information if anyone else was wondering!

Hi,

I was just wondering, are only TTF files supported for custom fonts?

Thanks for the great program!

Great! Thanks for reporting back.

1. To go back to the default font you simply need to remove the font kaiti file from that location. Alternatively, you could just rename the fonts folder to “fonts.old” or something like that

2. Hanping starred lists are stored in a file called “starred.db” which you can find in the “zh/user” folder. Basically, you need to somehow get that file from your old SD card (or PC if it is now there) to your new SD card in the same location.

Fantastic It works! Thankyou for your straightforward replies. The STKaiti font is beautiful.
Two more questions – how do I go back to the default font, if I ever want to?
2. When I replaced my SD card with a 16 Gb, I first saved my HanPing lists on to my PC, but when I opened up the phone again, HanPing Pro re-installed and I lost my lists. How can I get them back and will this disturb my beautiful new STKaiti font?

In reply to Brenda.

You need to create the fonts folder (inside the zh folder). There are a couple of ways to do this:

1. On your PC, navigate to the “zh” folder and then (probably) right click to create a new folder which must be called “fonts”

2. Install ES File Explorer: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop which can be used to achieve the same result

Then you need to be put the StKaiti file within that fonts folder.

Hope this helps!

OK, on the F drive (the phone’s drive?) I can find F:\Android\data\com.embermitre.dictroid, with a subdirectory “zh” How do I add \fonts\STKaiti to this? If I click on folder “zh” within this I find folders labelled””audio, dicts, user,lists and now a file? (O) STKaiti True font file, which I put there from my PC. But I can’t get the font to open on my phone.

Hi Brenda – sorry, I didn’t realise your comment was already on this post!

If you have your phone connected to your PC and can access it using Windows Explorer, then you should see a folder called F:\Android ?

If so then you need to copy the file to this directory:

F:\Android\data\com.embermitre.dictroid\zh\fonts

(“fonts”, not “font”)

This should be all you need to do.

Please let me know if this works for you.

Hi
I read this, put /Android/data/com.embermitre.dictroid/zh and separately font/STKaiti on the F drive (which is my phone), but how do I choose this to replace the font supplied. I don’t know how to access it on the phone. I need precise instructions please

Hi
Can you give me more detailed information on how to customise my font. I want to use ST Kaiti. I found /Android/data/com.embermitre.dictroid/zh on my phone, but don’t know how to go from there. I found C:\Windows\Fonts\ST Kaiti on my C drive, but don’t know how to proceed from there. I don’t want to cause malfunctions in my Hanping Pro on the phone. Help
