When modding a flash, most of the fonts I try to import don't work. I have only managed one so far and that was from someone else's mod flash. Can anyone recomend any fonts that u know work and look good on the phone?

Phone's are 8210 and 3330

Surely you are joking? Comic Sans is awful.

I favor bitmap fonts:

bings - what method will you use to alter your phone font?
Does the Nokia core OS support bitmap or truetype fonts?

ppmedit1.0a, and import the font.. it often makes a mess of it so you must do some drawing! :)

apparently you should NOT change the X size cos it messesa them up.. i dunno why the option was included in this case..

nokia os uses bitmap fonts.. all fonts are bitmaps, truetype not needed, just has 4 or 5 different font sizes as bitmaps :)

I have been using ppmedit, are there any better programmes?
Just tried a couple from that web site above but they don't fit in you have to alter the x size, this seems to be the problem I am having with most of them.
