Monotype Imaging Holdings has enhanced its FlipFont™ mobile font download solution to support the Nokia 5800 and N97, and also the Samsung Omnia HD i8910. The three touchscreen phones, in addition to the Nokia E52, E63 and E65-NG models, bring the total number of FlipFont supported handset brands to 52.
Additionally, 10 mobile-optimized fonts have been added to the FlipFont collection, enabling users to choose from a total of 29 fonts to personalize the look of their phone’s user interface, menus and various applications. The full collection is available directly from supported phones through Monotype Imaging’s mobile e-commerce site, http://www.flipfont.mobi.
In case you are wondering what exactly FlipFont is all about:
Monotype Imaging’s FlipFont™ mobile font download solution allow users to personalize and enhance their phones, making them more appealing and fun to use. Users are able to select a font for use in their device’s user interface. Through the FlipFont application, users can easily connect to an online selection of fonts, choose the typeface, purchase the font and safely download and install it to their mobile phone. The FlipFont application also lets users browse fonts currently installed on their phone and select a typeface from the list to be used by the phone.
The new capabilities are the latest in a series of FlipFont evolutions, aimed at allowing more mobile consumers across the globe to use a growing selection of fonts. In June, Monotype Imaging expanded FlipFont availability to Europe and the Americas through direct access on supported phones from FlipFont.mobi.
