Hi. I'm gonna show you how to install a font for Wii U.

What you need:
FTPiiU_Everywhere
FileZilla or other FTP client
Mocha CFW
A TTF file

Let's get started.

- Launch the Homebrew Launcher

- Boot to Mocha CFW (leave everything default)

- Launch the Homebrew Launcher again

- Launch FTPiiU_Everywhere

- Connect to Wii U's IP address with FileZilla or other FTP client

- Navigate to /storage_mlc/sys/title/0005001b/10042400/content

- Backup the original system fonts

- Replace the font over CafeStd.ttf

- Power off the console, unplug for several seconds, plug it in again

- Power on


If successfull, congratulations!

Please be careful with replacing system file(s). I am not responsible for bricked Wii U console. Do it at your own risk.

Can we use cbhc?

 

[PalindromicBreadLoaf]

Question, do we need to have CBHC installed for this to work, or does the system not care if we have a custom font? (I mean after the fact, as you have to use mocha during the process)

can it be any .ttf file?

You don't need CBHC, it works on OFW.

can it be any .ttf file?

Yeah. If it's .otf then you need to convert it to TTF with FontForge.

Worked wonders for the first a dozen times.

But now my CBHC'd system fails to load the menu for whatever reason.

Is there any way to access the database without FTPiiU/main menu so I can revert to a backup file?

possibly. press home at autobooting, then load the homebrew launcher, then ftpii u everywhere and revert the file. I've never tried this, but I've done it on the ps3. it also uses true text format (ttf).

Thank you so much, I had completely forgot about this auto-boot setting! I was sure I'd already managed to brick my system!

Kudos, good fellow! //And such a fast reply, too!

go into the homebrew launcher, ftpii u everywher or ftp server app, and replace the font again. I hope you backed it up.

It still gives me the black screen upon autobooting the homebrew launcher
