Hello There!!!

I like this Idea! nice fonts you have made availble. Is there a tutorial on adding our own fonts? I have this font I'd like to see in the game if possible. Or maybe you like this font enough to add it to you addon?

[Devla]

ooo toys

I'll play with it and see what I can do

Thanks alot!

[Devla]

Coloswift - Hmm well I'm sorry but the Speedline font looks horrendous in WoW. I tried it and the text is near impossible to read in some areas. Some fonts look cool on their own, and its hard to tell how they would look in the WoW enviroment.

darkforce898 - Potillan released a 'fixed' WinMPQ, and its actually hosted on this site...somewhere...

On another note, FonTabulous 004 will be released momentarily.

======================= 003 -> 004 ======================= -> Added XBox 360 Font -> Compiled all batch files into one file -> Optimized file structure, renamed some files -> Minor changes to XML (did not take notes on exact changes)

Also, with all the changes on the Test server...FonTabulous still runs fine on it

Enjoy

[Kaelten]

could you also include the font that insomniax uses?

[Devla]

I could....out of respect I'll have to ask LedMirage first, even though the font he uses is a fairly popular font.

[Breva]

Wow...
That's all I can say.

Devla, you have done a magnificient job on this project, I would have to say. The fonts, the look, the EXTREMELY easy installation, I can't NOT reccomend this to anyone that doesn't want their UI to look pleasing to the eye. I love being able to change my font without renaming and edit and blah blah blah. Try this. It'll make your life MUCH EASIER!

Thank you, Devla!

EDIT: Sorry if I'm not suppose to post this here.

Hi!

Installing any of the .xml gives me an error message whenever I try to retrieve mails.

The error message reads:

"Interface\FrameXML\MailFrame.lua321:OpenMailInvoiceItemLabel:SetText():Font Not Set"

I hope that helps, and keep up the good work!

[Devla]

I started working on a version for 1.10. Pircio is helping me alot with the mod.

FonTabulous will have an ingame menu to select between different font styles, and maybe even a preview frame.

We just started work though, so I don't have a timeframe.

Thanks!

Oh, and I apologize for the lack of motivation for updating this mod. Its alot of work

[darkforce898]

is there a way so that only the chat font changes?

[Devla]

Hello

Hmm yes, But I would not recommend this unless you're comfortable editing files.

Extract a copy of the original fonts.xml file using the Blizzard Extractor tool
Search in the file for ChatFontNormal
Enter your custom font on the same line

You may need to change the <AbsValue val="xx"/> to a number that suits the size of your font properly.

[Devla]

Added Manual install instructions for those of you who don't like batch files, or that have issues with them.

Hi Devla,

First, the screenshot of Street Corner timed-out on imageshack

Second, does any of these font package change the font on the mail also? Cause all the screenie I've seen are quest-log window, chat window, character window, etc.

Thx!

Woofiest.

Pircio has done a great job on the menu so far. I created the little logo and have been making some other changes.



Still a few things to do but its working well, so expect a release soon

[Devla]

FonTabulous 010 just uploaded, awaiting approval.

=======================
009 -> 010
=======================
-> Total rewrite of code to comply with WoW 1.10
-> Ingame menu to select Fonts (by Pircio)
-> Replaced and removed various fonts

[Devla]

New version uploaded. Also added "Oblique" version for those who prefer the ChatFont in Italics.

=======================
010 -> 011
=======================
-> Added a couple mod checks to fix ChatFrame text not changing
-> App checks include TipBuddy & SuperInspect (credits to ClearFont)
-> May still be an issue with GoodTip causing ChatFrame font not changing

[Delodic]

I always used the version of fontabulous where you needed to use a .bat file. Lately I refreshed all my addons, and also this one. But I have a problem using the insomniax font. It seems like this font isn't the same as the one I had. Like in this screen.

I somehow get a very standard font. Other fonts change look like they should, and also if I copy the ttf files from a backupdirectory to the new directory nothing changes.

I already tried disabling all addons exept fontabulous. Does anyone any idea what this could be?

[Devla]

Yea, the ChatFrame font is not in italics, try this:
