UI Question on Fonts

kaiden · 06-13-05, 10:02 AM

Dunno if this is the place this should go, Hope so. Edeil recently posted a screenshot in the ui & macro forums on the wow home site. He has an extremely nice looking unit name font and I can't for the life of me figure out how he did it. Anyways the screenshot is at http://img247.echo.cx/my.php?image=myui1no.jpg so if anyone can help me figure out which font he used and if it's not one of the 4 in fonts.mpq how did he use it. If it is then how did he make the unit name font from fonts.xml show up so bold and crisp and smaller than normal?

Probably using a mod called BetterFonts - you can find it here Or its also part of Insomniax Recompilation, which you can get here

That is the Futura font. Unfortunatly, it only comes with certain versions of Microsoft Office programs. I do not have it, but I would absolutly love to get it.

The Insomniax font looks very nice, after seeing it in action, I was inspired to twiddle around with some fonts of my own:

I've never actually seen the Insomniax Font and I never knew that there was one that came with the package. Can anyone link a picture to it?

It doesn't look much different from the stock fonts to me...
