fontsting:SetFont

[wellbeing]

i'm having trouble setting the font for my fontstring.

how do i point to those in the wow directory.

I know that i can go another route using "normalgamefont" or whatever, but i need to scale the size of this particular fontstring up quite a bit. From what i can tell, i wasnt allowed to define the size after setting an inherent font.

for the purpose of clarity, i'm trying to recreate a "raidwarning" style message for which i can define the duration. the built in raidwarning_sendmessage won't allow definition of duration.

in summary.. how can i make my fontstring use a font that is included in wow AND quite large?
