Remember my post on how to hack your Nokia 5800 to use custom fonts? and Dan’s post on how to give your S60 3rd edition a facelift? Well I’ve collected some great fonts that are already labelled up correctly to place straight in to the fonts folder. You can use these fonts on other types of phones but the file names are specifically for a 5800. These fonts look great on the 5800 as I’ve hand picked them after testing on my Nokia 5800. You can view screenshots of all the fonts that we included as well as download them after the break.
I’ve cut out the screenshots and just linked to them as it would take a year to load with the amount of screenshots that have been taken!
1. Calibri

- Screenshot 3 (Phone menu)
We’ve found this font to be extremely good on the Nokia 5800 in all areas. It is a great web browser font and looks great on your phone, take a look at the screenshots above. I currently have it on my Nokia 5800 and it’s probably the one that I would recommend the most.
2. iPhone style (Helvetica Neue CE 55 Roman)
We tried to find a font that look similar to the iPhones so you could put it on your Nokia 5800.

3. WalkWay
WalkWay is more of a broader font that looks good on the 5800 messaging screen and general navigation of the phone but lacks when you view web pages. It is still very stylish and that’s why we have included it in this post.

4. Street – Plain
This was one of the very first fonts that I put on my phone. It is great in all areas of the phone and is very clear.

5. Practical
Practical is another font that I favour on my 5800 but the only problem why it is not a permanent font is because the font I see on my web browser is not that visually appealing. If you are not using the internet a lot or don’t mind that font on the internet, this is a very neat font.

6. Francophilsans Plus
This font was new to me when I was trying it on my 5800 but I was impressed at the display on the phone, but again it lacked on the internet. It is quite bold and big on the screen so it will be very easy to read and looks good to.

7. Anna
You will find Anna quite small on your 5800 but it has a shape about it that makes it very minimalistic.

If you suffer any bugs when you turn on your phone. A restart will usually fix any errors in the fonts. I will add more in the future, enjoy!

IMO, Calibri is very nice font, but Corbel (very similar) is a little bit better for web pages.
I agree, I will look at getting Corbel.
