Two questions:

I'm looking for handwritten like fonts on cydia. Anybody know of or can recommend any good ones?

Also, does using fonts slow down your device at all?
 
I use Bytafont and don't experience any slowdown whatsoever.

Currently using Questrial, very sleek.

I'm on a 5 too.

I'm pretty sure you'd only see slowdown if you loaded up your phone with a billion different fonts. As it is, all you're going to be doing is using a different font to stock, and probably use the same or 0.0000001% more cpu cycles. Not to be confused with themes which demonstrably cause some degree of slowdown - or so I'm told, not interested in themes, jailbreak is ALL about added functionality and shortcuts for me.

I do agree with your underlying point though, I don't go crazy with tweaks as I like my phone lean and lightning fast. Fortunately, I'm at the point now where I've got everything I want from jbing and my 5 remains as fast as ever with no perceivable impact on battery life :)

Yea my tweaks are very limited, like 5 so I'm was trying to make sure. You have a point though, one font shouldn't hurt. I went with "aaiight" and so far so good! No lag or anything. Thanks a lot

I'm at 3 different fonts and run more than 10 tweaks and more than 5 sources at any 1 time. No slowdown on my iPhone 5, but huge drag while starting cydia. (It takes longer for all sources, packages, and updates to process)
