yes, an old program, but i'm sue many have missed/can't get around 2 work/don't no how 2 transfer. here's a detailed instruction:

1. Download and install the attached app.
2. Download some .ttf fonts from sites like h**p://www.dafont.com (google it, u'll get many), or grab sum frm ur Windows.
3. Creating fonts:

First, click on the browse to locate and load a .ttf font file like shown below

Then, choose the size u want for the selected phone text section. Then, click on the preview button to see how it would look on a phone:

Do the same for all the tabs (the pic of a phone on the right shows which text attribute of the phone u r editing, this means u can shoose totally diff fonts for each aspect:)). When ur done, click on "Compile to GDR" to get a font file which is for ur phone.

4. Transferring to ur phone:

Method 1:
Send it via bluetooth, if u hv the hardware. Go to FExplorer, go to mail, and copy the .gdr font file. read on for instructions on installation

Method 2:
Put your MMC in ur comp, put the font file in anywhere. Go to FExplorer browse ur MMC's drive for it (E:\...). Copy it.

5. Installing the font:

Paste the copied font file in C:\System\Fonts folder. If the folder doesn't exist, create it. DO NOT PUT MORE THAN ONE FONT AT A TIME. Restart ur phone, and it'll boot using the font file you specified.

6. Changing/removing the font:

Method 1:
Using Font Remover app for phone (search the forum for it), delete n delete the font with it. it will then ask u 2 restart phone. if u want to put another font, DO NOT RESTART, just go to FExplorer again and repeat above steps. However, if u want to revert to original font, restart ur phone.

Method 2:
Rename the Fonts folder to something else, and restart phone, it wil be gone. Delete the renamed font folder-its useless now. If u want to change the font, simply create another Fonts folder and follow the same steps.

Hope this guide helps :D

Well, I'm from Poland and on my pc I have tahoma.ttf with polish characters, but when I load it to Easy GDR Creator there no polish characters... It is very important to me to have them, does anybody know other way of creating .gdr file?
