v1.9.0

• Support overwriting the Lock Screen clock font (SFUISoft.ttc)

• Added a custom font wheel picker which takes up a lot less space than a 2km long list.

• Rewrote the document picker code.

• Added better warnings / notices throughout the app.

v.1.5: fix file picker, fix .ttc fonts

I'm not working on this app any further.

You may want to switch to an updated fork, such as GinsuDev's.

Changelog:

v1.5:

• Fix the file picker in "import custom fonts" not working when the IPA is installed with certain sideloading apps
• Fix the file picker in "import custom fonts" crashing when importing font from some cloud storage apps, such as Google Drive
• Experimental fix for share dialog / file pickers in other apps not opening when replacing emojis or using a font in .ttc format
  • Select "Import custom with fix for .ttc" to try the experimental fix.
  • For non-emoji .ttc fonts, this packs the font with LIJI32's ttcpad
  • For emoji .ttc fonts, this converts the font to .ttf first using fontforge's stripttc

v1.3:

• Add custom font imports:
  • Support custom imports for SFUI.ttf, emoji font, and PingFang.ttc (Simplified Chinese font).
  • You can only use custom fonts that are already ported for iOS, for example, @ev_ynw's fonts or @PoomSmart's's emoji fonts.

This is the last release of WDBFontOverwrite that I'm going to make. I'll be focusing on other projects after this. If anyone else wants to take over, feel free.

Known issues:

• The built-in fonts are not properly ported (I don't know how to port fonts). For best results, use a custom font.
  • with the built-in fonts:
  • Only regular text uses the changed font: thin/medium/bold text falls back to Helvetica instead.
  • If the font doesn't show up at all, disable "Bold Text" in accessibility settings.
• File pickers in apps will fail to open with the error "Something went wrong while displaying documents."
  • This happens if you replace the emoji font, or install fonts with multiple weights
  • Try the experimental .ttc fix by using "Import custom with fix for .ttc"
• Widgets may not display when a custom font is applied.
  • No current workaround.
• iOS 14.x devices which are jailbroken / were jailbroken before will not be able to revert to the original font.
  • Workaround: do not use this app if you're on iOS 14.x and have previously jailbroken. Instead, just jailbreak and replace fonts normally.

v1.4

Maybe fixed the issue where the import custom fonts file picker doesn't respond when you click a file??

v1.3: Add custom font imports

Add custom font imports:

• Support custom imports for SFUI.ttf, emoji font, and PingFang.ttc (Simplified Chinese font).
• You can only use custom fonts that are already ported for iOS, for example, @ev_ynw's fonts or @PoomSmart's's emoji fonts.

This is probably the last release I'm going to make. If anyone else wants to take over, feel free.

Known issues:

• The built-in fonts are not properly ported (I don't know how to port fonts). For best results, use a custom font.
  • with the built-in fonts:
  • Only regular text uses the changed font: thin/medium/bold text falls back to Helvetica instead.
  • If the font doesn't show up at all, disable "Bold Text" in accessibility settings.
• File pickers in apps will fail to open with the error "Something went wrong while displaying documents."
  • Share sheets may fail to open as well.
  • This happens if you replace the emoji font, or install fonts with multiple weights
  • These fonts use the .ttc format, which breaks the files picker.
  • No workaround yet - you'll need to remove the custom font by rebooting.
  • It may be possible to convert a .ttc font to a .ttf font with tools such as https://github.com/DavidBarts/getfonts: I have not tested if this would fix the issue.
• Custom font imports may not work: tapping on a font to import it doesn't do anything
  • No workaround yet. The built-in fonts should still work.
• Importing a custom font from some cloud storage apps' file storage providers, such as Google Drive's file provider, crashes the app with a "The file doesn't exist" error.
  • Workaround: use the Files app to copy the font to your Downloads folder first.
• iOS 14.x devices which are jailbroken / were jailbroken before will not be able to revert to the original font.
  • Workaround: do not use this app if you're on iOS 14.x and have previously jailbroken. Instead, just jailbreak and replace fonts normally.
