Well if no one has seen yet, homemenu.co has a font change cia :P You can more than likely use that to put a different font in the cia.
The only thing in the CIA is a .ttf font of Avenir and a bcfnt of it so it should be easy :P

What gives? I extract the alleged system fonts CIA (0004009B00010402.cia?) and I only find some _LZ.bin files. Is this the wrong CIA, perhaps?

Okay, so I managed to get custom fonts working now! I never knew that 0004009B00014002 could be installed to N3DS, regardless of there not even being a 0004009B00014002 installed in the first place. Silly me. :P

Anyway, at some users' requests, I tested out Comic Sans on the 3DS and here's the result: (the font's pretty tiny, imo...)

I know this isn't new... but it certainly shows us that we could do a lot more on the 3DS than meets the eye... :ph34r:

btw, sorry I can't really share the font CIA with you guys who wanted it, as it no-doubt probably has copyrighted data from the CTR SDK font converter application.

Thanks a ton, I've been trying to find where on earth I can find the default font. I guess I'll try installing it now..

Look at this pastebin post. It might help you accomplish that: http://pastebin.com/wu0E81hF :)

Yeah, i found that pastebin. Just a bit busy recently so i'm waiting until I have a free afternoon to understand what i'm doing. Don't suppose you could give it a go like above please? ;) (I know you don't want to share files - Copyright SDK stuff)

Actually, instead of using the runescape font, I'm gonna use the font that FE:if uses in the credits and stuff.

@jonnytron, it's not that bad if I say so myself... for some reason, the font can be either too big, overlap too much in places, or be squashed together... but overall, it's okay. :)

Thanks, yeah the kerning seems a bit weird in 'Miiverse' as well. Overall though it looks OK. Theres another version i found that was made by nintendo of america that i hope will work better when i try it (it seems a bit smaller among other things)... might look into editing the sizes of characters.

I would suck dick for a properly edited version of the Home Menu that uses the Earthbound font. Or the classic GB Pokémon font. That would be neat.
