Font Addons
Are the four fonts in the font folder the only fonts in the game? I see addons like Fontify that replace them and addons like Testikles that do some complicated (to me) replacement. My quest is to have a consistent font I can read.
Are there advantages to having scrolling text be a different font than chat for example? |
I usually don't do this, but bump. Anyone? Bueller, Ferris Bueller?

There are 5:
ARIALN.ttf FRIENDS.ttf FRIZQT__.ttf MORPHEUS.ttf skurri.ttf |

See SharedXML/SharedFontStyleOverrides.xml, SharedXML/SharedFontStyles.xml and SharedXML/SharedFonts.xml, and the ones without the "shared" prefix under FrameXML: http://wowprogramming.com/utils/xmlb...FontStyles.xml I'm currently using PT Sans Narrow but I have used other fonts before, like Expressway Free. I don't use any AddOn like tektikles, I'm finding that putting the font files at the correct path gives me fine results. Offcourse, that reasoning wouldn't apply to poorly designed fonts (incorrect line height). |

An addon also lets me use bold fonts for some font styles, and adjust the sizes of different font styles independently. For example, I scale up GameFontNormalSmall quite a bit, but I don't need to scale up larger stuff like the ZoneTextFont at all. |
I extracted the data files and there were a bunch, no idea which does what though:

Most of them are for Chinese, Korean and/or Russian clients.

ARIALN.tff = changes thge chat font, info text, and small text. FRIENDS.tff = changes the friends list font FRIZQT_.tff = changes font for npc names, player names, item names, buffs, combat and quest log. FRIZQT__.tff (guessing this is the same as above) MORPHEUS.tff = changes the in game mail font and quest log header font. skurri.tff = changes the default unit frame combat font. |

Hi, I have wrote a little addon that changes the fonts on the fly without having to replace them.
