Custom fonts not working

[Gethe]

First, that post specifically said not to post errors, thus I have move this to a new thread.

As to your issue, is that a font you added your self? (eg SharedMedia_MyMedia) Did you reload the UI (/rl) after changing the fonts?

Did you edit the nibRealUI_Init/SharedMedia.lua file? My custom fonts now go in there and work fine.

If you want to add custom anything with sharedmedia, it should be the the _MyMedia addon. That's what it's there for.



@Out1aw: Make sure your font is actually in the folder you say it is. I just tested this out with a random font online, and it worked fine.

Before the update thats what I did, but after the update it didnt seem to work so I moved the line elsewhere.

Just moved the line back to mymedia and it seems to work now.

Did you a complete restart with the client after adding the font to the folder? The client only indexes files at startup.

How do you add extra font ? Just drop them in the myMedia folder?

Yes, in addition to adding a line in the lua file. There are more detailed instructions in the main SharedMedia addon.

I'm sure that my font in folder and it still not working on r12.

Look on aura tracker, info line, action bar

I would suggest moving the font file to SharedMedia_MyMedia. Putting them in any nibRealUI* folder needlessly complicates the update process and can lead to these types of issues if not handled properly.

Same here

Ok so I just spent most of a day creating and setting up an EU account and a character on a Russian server. This was so I could see if it was possibly a regional bug, maybe specific to Russian. However, when I added my custom font it still worked flawlessly.



I would suggest double checking the font you are using that it is actually the font you want to use or possibly it got corrupted.

So there was a strange thing, i switched to a random font and it worked fine, then i swtiched back to my font and it work fine, lol.
