How about a screen shot? I can't test it as I sent my X off to get its dust in the screen removed. Hopefully they will replace the front cover so that dust won't get back in there again.

with pleasure if you tell me how to do that!... :redface:

I thought i read that the screenshot feature in FExplorer isnt compatible with the Sendo?

ok here are the screenshots, could someone post some wtih the original font?? I replaced the font so I can't do it anymore without reseting the phone's settings (witch I won't do 😃 )

Do you know where the original font data is? That way it can be backed up if you ever wish to go back.

Z:\SYSTEM\FONTS

To use a new font, you have to create the following folder:

C:\SYSTEM\FONTS

just copy the font into this folder and restart.

dont like it, as i cant see the fonts not big enough, i want the old sendo one back looked in z/fonts which one do i copy back to c/fonts

am I being thick or can this not be done using the file browser in the sendo connect software? I have created the folder and copied the tahoma.sis in there but it doesn't change anything. Am I missing something?

hmm struyk all i did was just install the tahoma.sis like any regular sis file onto my x and voila the font was different, i think it looks better than the other font cuz its smaller thus u can read more. i dont remember if i did a restart after i installed the sis file but i think i didnt. maybe u should do a MMC/SD back-up before u install the tahoma font because if its too small for u to read then u can just restore from ur mmc/sd to get the old font( or u could get a pair of glasses😃 )

You have to install it! You can't just put the install file in there!

I want to download the new font for my sendo X but the link is not working. Could anybody post the link again? Thanks!!!
