WoWInterface - Custom fonts in Carbonite (from LibSharedMedia)

Hi all

I've been messing around with trying to set up a nice UI, but Carbonite has been letting me down since I couldn't get my Carbonite font to match my custom UI font. OCD lead me to investigate why Carbonite ignored LibSharedMedia fonts (a couple of old threads shed no light on the situation: http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=37722 and http://wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37244)

Had a look at NxUI.lua, and it looks like Carbonite is expecting Ace2 to be installed before being able to gather LibSharedMedia fonts.

I made a change on my local machine to use LibStub instead (which could be bundled with Carbonite):

Previous code:

Code:

function Nx.Font:AddonLoaded()



        if not self.Inited then

                return

        end



        local ace = _G["AceLibrary"]



        if ace then

--                ace ("AceAddon-2.0")



                local found



                found = self:FontScan (ace, "LibSharedMedia-2.0")

                found = found or self:FontScan (ace, "LibSharedMedia-3.0")



                if found then

                        self:Update()

                end

        end

end



function Nx.Font:FontScan (ace, libName)



        local sm



        if ace["HasInstance"] (ace, libName) then

                sm = ace (libName)

        end



        if sm then



                local found



                local fonts = sm["List"](sm, "font")



--                Nx.prtVar ("SM", fonts)



                for k, name in ipairs (fonts) do



                        if not self.AddonFonts[name] then

                                found = true

--                                Nx.prtVar ("Font", name)

--                                Nx.prtVar ("Fetch", sm["Fetch"] (sm, "font", name))

                                self.AddonFonts[name] = sm["Fetch"] (sm, "font", name)

                                tinsert (self.Faces, { name, self.AddonFonts[name] })

                        end

                end



                return found

        end

end

My changes:

Code:

function Nx.Font:AddonLoaded()



        if not self.Inited then

                return

        end



        local found



        found = self:FontScan ("LibSharedMedia-3.0")



        if found then

                self:Update()

        end

end



function Nx.Font:FontScan (libName)



        local sm



        sm = LibStub(libName)



        if sm then



                local found



                local fonts = sm.List(sm, "font")



--                Nx.prtVar ("SM", fonts)



                for k, name in ipairs (fonts) do



                        if not self.AddonFonts[name] then

                                found = true

--                                Nx.prtVar ("Font", name)

--                                Nx.prtVar ("Fetch", sm["Fetch"] (sm, "font", name))

                                self.AddonFonts[name] = sm.Fetch(sm, "font", name)

                                tinsert (self.Faces, { name, self.AddonFonts[name] })

                        end

                end



                return found

        end

end

Only other addition is to add LibStub.lua to the root Carbonite directory and add the line for LibStub.lua to the Carbonite.toc file.

Hope this helps for people wanting custom fonts in Carbonite without installing Ace2. Feel free to move this to the development forum if it seems more appropriate.

Cheers
