Hi, i want to change the text font in fitbit watch to a new font. Can any one help me to do it..?

Why make another post with this same question? You already made a previous post asking the same thing.

Sorry i wasn't able to view the earlier post because of some reasons. That's why i have to re-post it.

In that case, apologies. I'll post my reply from the other thread here for reference:

Sadly, it's not currently possible to add new fonts.

If you want a new font for a watch face, then one solution might be to create images of the 10 digits on your PC/Mac in the font you want to use, and then use those images to draw the time. If you want to use another font for text however, then it becomes impractical to use this method.

If you think you could use the 'separate image per digit' approach, then take a look in the documentation on what file format to use so that you can change the colour of the digits at runtime. Sorry I don't have the link, but you create an 8-bit grey scale image using white as opaque pixels and black as transparent, then change the fill colour when drawing the image to affect the final colour. The example in docs show using this technique to draw the second hand for an analogue watch.

There's an example of using images instead of a font, https://github.com/Fitbit/sdk-lcd-clock

Also checkout the grayscale magic guide, so you can change the image colors.  https://dev.fitbit.com/build/guides/user-interface/css/#image-grayscale-magic-
