Unfortunately Avenir is a paid for font. It was recently available in Cydia for a brief time but was taken down shortly after.

I actually manually ported this font using the Avenir font file available within the stock iOS fonts folders.

Can you please explain how this is done? I found the font in iFile but have no idea how to make it the system font.

Mind sharing? PM? :x
 
Did you install it via Cydia and use BytaFont to install it?

The install from Cydia doesn't work with either BytaFont or FontSwap.

It's one of the fonts installed with stock iOS, I just can't figure out how to take it from iFile and make it the system font. Will try the repo solution that was just posted.

Edited: The alternate repo did have a version that works. Thank you for sharing!

Excellent!
The Avenir light works with Bytafont, the regular doesn't.

Maybe try reinstalling? Installing the "Avenir Light" package from the insanelyi repo gave me both Regular and Light in BytaFont. Currently rocking regular now.

I just did and you're absolutely right.
Loaded up the second time with both fonts!

On a side note: I suppose it's just human behavior, but ever since I learned yesterday I couldn't locate or have this font it made me want it more.

There is a feeling of satisfaction now that I've downloaded and am using it!
Truth be told: I do like it better than the stock Apple font, but honestly, it isn't so different so as to light the world on fire.

I went through the same thing yesterday! :D

Gizmodo posted an article a while back postulating that Apple will actually move to Avenir as a system font pretty soon. It was included with iOS 6 and Mountain Lion. Definitely a natural evolution, and not a huge change, but this combined with Glasklart has finally given me the perfect theme. Nice and minimalistic.
 
I've used this font for ages now. It's my go to font. Usually I install this font and never change it until a new firmware jailbreak gets released and then I just end up using Ubuntu Titling lol.

I love it! I never change it either. I think it's very easy on the eyes and it's kind of cute! :)

I'm the same exact way. I'm gonna give Avenir Light a try, but I'm sure I'll end up right back at Ubuntu Titling. LOL.
