Font File Help

[metarra]

I have been trying to look up what font files in WoW's font folder effects which things in the game.

So far from replacing certain fonts, the files have changed:

FRIZQT__.ttf : Changed main UI text etc like NPC names, buffs, Quest log and Combat text (including normal and critical)

ARIALN.ttf : Changed chat font

MORPHEUS.TTF : only changed Mail window font (Did not change quest text like some people say)

Friends.ttf : changed friends list font

skurri.ttf : didn't change anything, did not change combat font

What is skurri.ttf used for? Is it not used anymore?

It's still referenced in Fonts.xml, but only once (#208). The FontObject is called "NumberFont_Outline_Huge". But not sure if that's used anywhere.

I discovered a while back that "skurri" is actually incorrect. The actual name is supposed to be in caps like the rest of the names (i.e. SKURRI.ttf).

Not sure why this was never fixed, but there you go.

Amusingly, the FrameXML refers to it in lowercase. Copied from the FrameXML/Fonts.xml linked above on Tekkub's Github, lines 208-212.

<Font name="NumberFont_Outline_Huge" font="Fonts\skurri.ttf" outline="NORMAL" virtual="true">
		<FontHeight>
			<AbsValue val="30"/>
		</FontHeight>
	</Font>

Isn't Skurri that cursive larger font used for quest titles in the quest pane (when you are accepting it)?

Your mail if it contains text messages should also be using it, as well as all the various books in the world.

I thought that was Morpheous

Skurri is a pseudo-cursive font, yes.

Morpheus is the Diablo-like font used for in-game mail.
