On this video, I am showing how to customise a system font on a Nintendo 3DS. This will change a nice looking typeface font style. I haven't seen any tutorials of it, so I had to make a video.

It works on both EUR & USA device regions, JPN too if the font contains Japanese char glyphs.
You'll notice the button glyphs will not be shown, see the bottom of description for full text tutorial.

You need Luma3DS custom firmware before proceeding.

⚠️ Always backup your NAND before modifying any system files to avoid brick!
Since GodMode9 has the ability to install titles without Home Menu running, you can unbrick it by re-installing an original font that way.
