I would like to use some custom fonts in a BlackBerry application I'm working on. There appear to be 11 built-in fonts, but they don't look great; I'd like to use an anti-aliased font that matches the corporate look of my customer.
The BlackBerry APIs do not seem to offer a way to import additional fonts, and the Font and FontFamily classes do not have public constructors, so I can't create my own fonts, either.
Is there a way to use non-standard fonts with the BB APIs and widgets? All I could find is the Plazmic Theme Builder, but from what I understand, that allows you to customize the entire phone, while I am looking for a way to apply a corporate theme to just one application.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hey, just wondering if you ever solved this problem. I'm also looking for information about custom fonts but have had no luck so far.

Thanks,

We created class for load font from fnt files
and it's really working

see javadoc file

Hey, your BitmapFont class looks interesting.
How do actually use it to display a font though? Can you then use it like the net.rim.device.api.ui.Font class or did you have to extend the TextField/RichTextField class and override the draw() function, for example?

Cheers,

This class works in midlet. We don't use any net.rim.device.api.ui classes.
For paint char we using functions of class javax.microedition.lcdui.Graphics:
clipRect
drawImage
setClip
and other
(sorry, I can't upload sources :( because it isn't my own code)

I want a custom font too, this can solve the problem on displaying utf-8 encoded characters on BB devices.
