Text to image

[Politig]

Hello,

Is there an addon (preferably for Combat Text) that can replace output numbers for images instead? I have a bitmap font for custom damage numbers but can't convert them to .ttf. My goal is, for instance, when the number "1" is output by the Combat Text addon to display the image of "1" from my bitmap font/png file. This would effectively replace all the damage numbers.

Is this even possible? Thanks!

I doubt that's possible with Blizzards Combat Text, you will need to use a different Combat Text Addon if anything.

Why can't you convert it to ttf?

I'm currently trying to learn how FontForge works (it makes no sense haha), but so far every other .fnt to .ttf file converter is throwing errors. I'm guessing it's because I only have the images for the numbers.

What font is it? If you have images I coud auto convert them to paths with Illustrator if this helps.

I don't exactly know what that means, but the thing is I found some numbers that I would like to use as a font for a Combat Text mod. However, it's JUST the numbers, not words (which should be okay for a DPS using a combat text mod). So, there's no glyphs for the characters. They're also colored already depending on the text (normal hits are yellow/orange, crits are red, heals are blue, and damage taken is purple). There is a special icon as well that I would like to be displayed on critical heals/damage. Here is the sheet I've been using:

Well you can't make a ttf font colored or even gradient. But it shoud be possible for an addon like WeakAuras to display the pics instead of font as combat text. BUT its not possible to make it look like blizzard original combat text that shows up in the 3D world above the mobs.
