Font size of the nameplates

I'm using currently a script that I've found on another forum to make text font on the nameplate smaller.
It works but it's applying its effect multiple times after long session in the game.
Text gets so small that you can't read anymore.

Do you know what's wrong with that script?

Lua Code:

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
    frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
    --big plates with small text
    DefaultCompactNamePlateFrameSetUpOptions.useLargeNameFont=false
    end)
    -- Register for interesting events
    frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")

The function is running every time you use a portal, take a boat/zeplin, enter/leave a battlegournd, arena, order hall etc.

Lua Code:

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
        frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
        --big plates with small text
        DefaultCompactNamePlateFrameSetUpOptions.useLargeNameFont=false
        frame:UnregisterAllEvents()
        end)
        -- Register for interesting events
        frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")

It could probably be done slightly differently but this will stop the multiple calls.

Thank you. Works great now:)

Seems like this script is causing taint the same way as NameplateColor before the update.
It gives "SetTargetClampingInsets" error.

Maybe you could take a look at it? I'd really appreciate it:)

Probably any kind of nameplate taint will trigger the SetTargetClampingInsets error...

Maybe this can help you:

Lua Code:

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function()   
 
local function SetFont(obj, optSize)
    local fontName= obj:GetFont()   
    obj:SetFont(fontName,optSize,"OUTLINE")
end
 
SetFont(SystemFont_LargeNamePlate,12)
SetFont(SystemFont_NamePlate,12)
SetFont(SystemFont_LargeNamePlateFixed,12)
SetFont(SystemFont_NamePlateFixed,12)
 
end)

That's awesome! Not only works without errors but lets me even set a font size.
Thank you!
