How to copy files to system folder via TWRP?

[Jarychen]

I want to replace some system fonts with anotherone,but file manager of TWRP can't do it.
And I downloaded some fonts of TWRP zip format and flashed it and files were extracted to system\font but TWRP ist mounting "system_root" instead of "system".
How to fix that？

Here is the updater-script

show_progress(1.000000, 0);
ui_print("Mounting filesystems...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
set_progress(0.100000);

ui_print("Extracting files...");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_progress(0.300000);

ui_print("Setting permissions...");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/etc/fonts.xml");
set_progress(0.400000);
set_progress(0.500000);
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/fonts");
set_progress(0.700000);

# Unmounting filesystems...
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
set_progress(0.900000);


set_progress(1.000000);
ui_print("****************************************");
ui_print("* Install Complete! *");
ui_print("****************************************");

It looks like you don't search too much understanding why....
On latest phone model you can not modify/touch system file via TWRP, because..................they are locked!
Bur, You can do it via Magisk if you want to use it.
sorry

@Jarychen: What's your device? What TWRP version are you using?

To make a zip file for TWRP, my advices are:

1) Always include the busybox in zip file (do not use "/sbin/busybox")

2) Create a script to find the System partition mount point

You can download this zip file: TWRP_Fonts_Changer_v1.0.zip

INFO: Modify this zip file by adding your fonts.xml file in "tmp/installer/system/etc/" and your font(s) in "tmp/installer/system/fonts/".

hi ... twrp modules sometimes are working and sometimes not

its easier to use a magisk module instead, here is an example

delete the ringtones and put your system/fonts files into the folder

root explorer is not the solution... if you want to use explorer, try mix explorer and grant… settings - more settings - allow root. But for that you have to use magisk as well

to install magisk for a12 follow this…
you have to patch boot.img and install it with fastboot

https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/21-6-30.62035/page-2#post-617162

use canary version magisk for a12 example links
