How to Change Fonts on a Nokia S60
You're getting bored of the default font on your Nokia S60 cell phone, but you don't know how to change it. First, to get new fonts onto your phone, you must have a TTF font (the file format of PC fonts) and a font converter, since Nokia S60 phones only recognize fonts in the file format GDR. KVT Symbian Font Converter is a free font file converter that is easy to use and will get your font changed fast.

I tried this and it did not work. I took a Windows ttf and converted to gdr using the tool you stated. Then saved it to the c: drive on the phone and restarted. The path is c:\fonts\fontname.gdr Suggestions?
