PhanxFont

Version: 80000.0
by: Phanx [More]

I am no longer developing or maintaining World of Warcraft addons. I haven't played in years, and don't have the time or interest to continue working on addons for a game I don't play anymore. If you are an addon author interested in continuing one of my addons, please see https://phanx.net/addons/. If you are an addon user, sorry, but there won't be any more fixes or updates from me.
Simple font replacement and font scaling for the default UI.

Type /font to open the options panel, or find it in the standard Interface Options window.


Feedback

If you find a bug, open a ticket on GitHub (preferred) or post a comment on this page, after reading this:

 If you didn't download this addon from this page, reinstall it from this page before posting.

 If you're reporting a font that isn't replaced, include a screenshot of the cursor over the problem text while /fstack is active.

 If you're getting "out of date" notifications from WoW, just use the "Load out of date addons" option at the top of the in-game addons manager.

 I consider this addon to be complete; feature requests will not be considered.

I am not able to change the font, I would like to keep the original font of the game but change its size in the quest windows, however the addon comes with this Lato font by default and I cannot select any other in the dropdown menu

Is there a way for the font changes to apply to nameplates in combat? My names are in the font I desire but once I click on a target the font reverts to Blizz' Fritz Quadratta.

Replying via PM to avoid spamming my addon page.

Re: Re: Not Sure if it is Working Correctly

Thanks,

I got it working really well and thanks to your suggestions from PM, I can see the UI a lot better!

How do you like running WoW on Linux? I keep thinking about making the jump, but never carve out the time to do it.

If you want to add your own fonts...
  • on Linux or Mac, use my PhanxMedia script.
  • on Windows, get SharedMedia and follow the directions in the included "INSTRUCTIONS for MyMedia.txt" file.
My script will probably work on Windows if you have Git Bash, Cygwin, etc. but I haven't tested it.

It depends on the addon. If they use the game's font objects directly (eg. "GameFontNormal") then they will inherit the changes you make in PhanxFont. However, if they explicitly name a font file and size, you'll have to use the addon's settings to make changes, or edit the addon's code if it doesn't have options. That said, I use over 100 addons in addition to my own 40+ addons; I'd guess only about 10% of them even display any text, and offhand I can only think of 1 that I've had to edit.

Not Sure if it is Working Correctly

Maybe I am doing something wrong (i.e. PEBKC), but after installing this via Minion, I do not see the Lato font in drop down boxes.

Lines 20 and 21 in addon.lua the following code is present:
Code:
local NORMAL       = [[Interface\AddOns\PhanxMedia\font\Lato.ttf]]
local BOLD         = [[Interface\AddOns\PhanxMedia\font\Lato-Black.otf]]
I've even created a PhaxMedia folder with the font in it and no luck.

I can open a ticket if this warrants it.

One question on usability. If I pick a font and the scale in PhanxFont, do I need to manually adjust other addons?
