Font Folder Help

I was just wondering what each font in the Fonts folder is associated with? I used Vranx's site to create the folder and even accomplished changing the fonts to a pixel font (Just a test font =P). But I don't really understand what Vranx means when he explains the fonts use. I am mostly wondering since I like the Pixel Font I have at the moment for like ActionBar Hotkeys/Numbers but it doesn't work with the chat =[

FRIZQT__.ttf (the main UI font) <--Chat?
ARIALN.ttf (the normal number font) <--Small Combat Text?
skurri.ttf (the 'huge' number font) <--Combat Crits?
MORPHEUS.ttf (Mail, Quest Log font) <--Got this one =P

Thanks
~Fal

*Edit* Also one other question, do I have to restart the game when I test fonts? Or does a simple /console reloadui do the trick?

FRZIQT__.ttf is the font used for things like unit names, item names, all the buttons in menus, etc.

ARIALN.ttf is used for chat, window contents, normal combat text (I think).

skurri.ttf is used for combat text crits and nothing else, as far as I know.

Morpheus.ttf is, as you know, use for the mail and quest log headers.

From an old ClearFont readme-file.

* FRIZQT__.ttf (the main UI font)
* ARIALN.ttf (the normal number font)
* skurri.ttf (the 'huge' number font)
* MORPHEUS.ttf (Mail, Quest Log font)

And yes, you do need to completely exit the game when changing fonts.

In regards to your question on why it's not changing your chat font... Do you have an addon like Prat handing your chat font for you? If so, change the font in its settings to one of the default Blizz font names.
