Names over people's heads font (NOT name plates)

Hello all!

Im looking for a way to change the font of the names over character's heads. It is entirely too small for me (I have a large monitor and zoom quite far out) as it stands and is a real pain to see.

Note this this has nothing to the actual name plates (for example, Aloft), just the blue, red or green text itself.

I use MazzleUI (love love LOVE it) if that is any help.

And if the answer is "prat has a module that does this" would you be kind enough to be a TAD more specific?

Five days and only two idiotic troll posts. This site has gone downhill.

Create a folder in your wow directory called "Fonts", then add the desired font into the folder changing the name to "ARIALN.ttf" or "FRIZQT__.ttf" (I can't remember which one changes the names over peoples heads).

Hope this helps

I'm sure it was the sarcasm in your "bump" post that triggered those responses.

You can't change that font size. All you can do is what Slakah suggested and pick a font that is generally bigger and easier to read.

Excellent, thank you both.

Do either of you have any recomendations for a thicker font?

Open up Word or whatever word processing software you have and scan through your installed fonts. See what you like. Then go to your Fonts folder, drag the font to your desktop (that will remove it, so you'll need to drag it back to reinstall) and use that one. Or scan one of the many font websites for something you like.

Fair enough, thanks be to you, Seerah.

ALSO----

"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
"What's for breakfast? said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
"It's the same thing," he said.
