Forcing Asian fonts to conform to chat size

I have my chat windows at size 10, but Asian fonts have their own size. I tried loading my own fonts.xml file hoping my heights would overwrite NumberFont_Shadow_Med (which is inherited by ChatFontNormal) but it does nothing.

I don't want to block these fonts (even though I can't read them) I just want them to be the same size as everything else.

Create your own or use already existing XML font template where all fonts are of the same desired size, then do the following:

Lua Code:

for i = 1, NUM_CHAT_WINDOWS do
    _G["ChatFrame"..i]:SetFontObject("FontTemplateName")
    _G["ChatFrame"..i]:MakeFontObjectCustom()
end

Using XML templates is important because atm only they support alphabets. Blizz use SetFont to update chat frame's font size, but it updates only 1(?) out of 5 alphabets.

I asked Dan in IRC to add SetRomanFont, SetKoreanFont, etc methods to font strings and objects (created via CreateFont) in addition to or in place of SetFont because it's quite needed in EU and OC regions, he liked the suggestion, but it won't be implemented soon because it's a low priority task for them and because entire fontstring-related system is kinda messed up and it's not that easy to work on >_>
