    I should clarify. Downloaded from Cydia… Font was found Finally in /System/Library/Fonts/Custom which didn’t match the video’s stated location. Copied over to Cache and renamed to overwrite. Respring(ed) and was stuck at frozen spinning white wheel of stuckness. SSH was on and working, so I replaced it with my old (personally reworked Papyrus)
    Sure wish you would do a papyrus clone for ios4.

    we have not released Olde English in Cydia yet, so you didn’t install one of our fonts..
    please keep in mind that we release our iOS4 fonts on ModMyi repository (Fonts section), our packages are always installed to “/var/mobile/Library/MyFonts” and the description of each package starts with “iPhoneRuler.net iOS 4 font package [...]”
    btw Olde English will be released asap.. ;)
