How do I make an Addon change the behavior of another one?
I want to make an addon that makes Details use a different font so I don't have to replace the font file every time the addon is updated

I know that Skinner was written to change how other addons look, so I know its kinda possible to do it

However, the only time I see specific fonts being mentioned is in these lines:

Lua Code:
  1. _detalhes.empty_function = function() end
  2.     _detalhes.empty_table = {}
  3.  
  4.     --> register textures and fonts for shared media
  5.         local SharedMedia = LibStub:GetLibrary ("LibSharedMedia-3.0")
  6.         --default bars
  7.         SharedMedia:Register ("statusbar", "Details D'ictum", [[Interface\AddOns\Details\images\bar4]])
  8.         SharedMedia:Register ("statusbar", "Details Vidro", [[Interface\AddOns\Details\images\bar4_vidro]])
  9.         SharedMedia:Register ("statusbar", "Details D'ictum (reverse)", [[Interface\AddOns\Details\images\bar4_reverse]])
  10.         --flat bars
  11.         SharedMedia:Register ("statusbar", "Details Serenity", [[Interface\AddOns\Details\images\bar_serenity]])
  12.         SharedMedia:Register ("statusbar", "BantoBar", [[Interface\AddOns\Details\images\BantoBar]])
  13.         SharedMedia:Register ("statusbar", "Skyline", [[Interface\AddOns\Details\images\bar_skyline]])
  14.         SharedMedia:Register ("statusbar", "WorldState Score", [[Interface\WorldStateFrame\WORLDSTATEFINALSCORE-HIGHLIGHT]])
  15.         SharedMedia:Register ("statusbar", "DGround", [[Interface\AddOns\Details\images\bar_background]])
  16.  
  17.         --window bg and bar border
  18.         SharedMedia:Register ("background", "Details Ground", [[Interface\AddOns\Details\images\background]])
  19.         SharedMedia:Register ("border", "Details BarBorder 1", [[Interface\AddOns\Details\images\border_1]])
  20.         SharedMedia:Register ("border", "Details BarBorder 2", [[Interface\AddOns\Details\images\border_2]])
  21.         SharedMedia:Register ("border", "Details BarBorder 3", [[Interface\AddOns\Details\images\border_3]])
  22.         SharedMedia:Register ("border", "1 Pixel", [[Interface\Buttons\WHITE8X8]])
  23.         --misc fonts
  24.         SharedMedia:Register ("font", "Oswald", [[Interface\Addons\Details\fonts\Oswald-Regular.otf]])
  25.         SharedMedia:Register ("font", "Nueva Std Cond", [[Interface\Addons\Details\fonts\NuevaStd-Cond.otf]])
  26.         SharedMedia:Register ("font", "Accidental Presidency", [[Interface\Addons\Details\fonts\Accidental Presidency.ttf]])
  27.         SharedMedia:Register ("font", "TrashHand", [[Interface\Addons\Details\fonts\TrashHand.TTF]])
  28.         SharedMedia:Register ("font", "Harry P", [[Interface\Addons\Details\fonts\HARRYP__.TTF]])
  29.         SharedMedia:Register ("font", "FORCED SQUARE", [[Interface\Addons\Details\fonts\FORCED SQUARE.ttf]])
  30.  
  31.         SharedMedia:Register ("sound", "d_gun1", [[Interface\Addons\Details\sounds\sound_gun2.ogg]])
  32.         SharedMedia:Register ("sound", "d_gun2", [[Interface\Addons\Details\sounds\sound_gun3.ogg]])
  33.         SharedMedia:Register ("sound", "d_jedi1", [[Interface\Addons\Details\sounds\sound_jedi1.ogg]])
  34.         SharedMedia:Register ("sound", "d_whip1", [[Interface\Addons\Details\sounds\sound_whip1.ogg]])

I just wanted an addon that added the following line:

SharedMedia:Register ("font", "Proza Regular", [[Interface\Addons\NewAddon\fonts\headlines.TTF]])

So I wouldn't have to manually make changes to the fonts every time Details is updated


Another problem I'm having is that the line I pasted just above isn't working. Proza Regular doesn't show up in the font list, and my usual solution is replacing one of the font files by it. Shitty, I know.
