Tried different nameplates - some do show the plates in the correct size, some (like yours) don't

It's hard to see on this screenshot. I'm talking about the Stolen Brew Keg (yellow Bar between both houses).
I've noticed right now, that the default templates scale them also smaller than the normal ones.
Really anoying
this was a blizzard update to nameplates. non-essential plates have been scaled down by default. so stuff like critters, the kegs you see in your screenshot, etc.

Font change question

For any1 who wanted to change the font like me, just drop your font into the CaelMedia Fonts folder and rename it to xenara rg

DO NOT touch the code for fonts, it caused nothing but problems for me; however, textures seemed to update just fine by changing the code in CaelMedia.lua

With the fan update the non elite nameplates are very very small compared to the normal, elite nameplates, how can I change that?

Also, with the new official 5.1 update, will I lose my settings? I think I do, so a small update to the front page would be nice, where you describe how to change like bar thickness, font, etc etc. Because reading through all the old comments is very annoying, and might not even work with the new version.

thanks upfront!
