Is there any way to change fonts without using BytaFont? I saw the Avenir font in one of the homescreen threads and really want to use it system-wide, but it's not supported by BytaFont.

I can actually find Avenir in the system fonts using iFile, and I can copy it...I just don't know where to put it so that I can change it (either in Bytafont or another tweak, etc.)

Can anyone help?

An interesting question.

I dont like bytafont as it replaces the original iOS fonts.

You then have to re download the iOS fonts to get them back !

The Avenir in Cydia uses a different app and I can't find it when searching inside BytaFont. Where can I get it?

It's working via Bytafont here (see attached pic), i installed the version from the insanelyi repo.

Just found a problem with this Avenir, the font doesn't seem to change on the lock screen clock whilst using Forecast or in Notification center.

Did you ever figure this problem out? I have the same problem with forecast. Weird thing is I can change the font of the lockscreen clock fine, but when I install forecast, the LS clock font reverts back to stock Helvetica. Is forecast pulling the font from somewhere else?
