Font Loader / Manager Utility

[ Edited ]

There does not seem to be a way to manage Fonts in OS 5.0 or OS 6.0, so just for fun, I wrote this little utility to install fonts from the SD Card.  It is rubbish code, completely uncommented, but maybe it will help some one when they are testing their own fonts.  Use whenever you like, wherever you, no credit required, but no complaints if it doesn't work.

 

That said, if you do find a bug, let me know. 

 

One final thing, fonts added will be removed when you restart your Blackberry or Simulator.  Not sure why that happens, seems a bit silly to me, but there you go.

Re: Font Loader / Manager Utility

Looks good. I wonder if the issue you mentioned is a bug because according to the API docs it should be stored persistently if the device is rebooted.

Never noted that.  OK, will report it as a bug.
