laFont

Version: 1.9

by: bloodtear [More]

laFont

What does it do?
laFont is a simple and lightweight Addon (~5,0kb ingame) wich changes the default damage and zone font to a custom one.

Aren't there a lot of those Addons out there?
Yes and no. A lot of Addons change the Damagetext or the Zonetext, but I do not know any Addon that does both.
laFont combines both, change the Damage- and Zonetext. Why should I use two different Addons instead of one Addon?

To Do
- Add default colors
- Create ingame config
- Make the Addon more easy to configurate in gerneral (.lua-crap)

How To
1. Download laFont

2. Copy the .rar to your WoW Addons folder

3. Unrar.

4. Open the new folder and copy&paste example.lua

5. Rename the copy to your charname

6. Open yourcharname.lua and edit it like its seen on the screenshot

7. Now open laFont.toc and edit like shown

8. Open game and play

FAQ: Quastion and Answer!
Q: Where is the config?
A: The config is at the top of the .lua-file. Perhaps there will be more options in future days...

Q: How can I change the Font?
A: To change the font simply download a font you like (e.g. www.1001freefonts.com). Go to '/Interface/Addons/laFont/' and rename 'Font.ttf' to 'Fontold.ttf'. Rename your font into 'font.ttf' and copy it into the folder '/Interface/Addons/LaFont/'. Now there should be two fonts. 'fontold.ttf' (the original laFont-font) and 'font.ttf' (the font you want to have). Log In. Finished.

Q: Will you add more features like an ingame config in the future?
A: Yes, I think I will, but I also think there will be a laFont light and a heavy version (heavy will be with ingame config).

How can I report Bugs?
Just leave a comment or contact me ingame @ Lashaa(Mannoroth[EU])

Credits
I would like to thank Xzatly (xDamageFont) and abomb93 (aZoneText) for their Addons. Their work inspired me to do this. Thank you guys!

Well no I read it but if I replace all the blizz fonts, it'll also alter inc/out dmg/heal. I didn't realize however that it altered the font of combat text specifically and independent of overall font of the ui. My bad

So does that mean you're coming up with a few more options?:P

But keep in mind that your current version adjusts the size of incoming dmg/heals just fine though you may not have intended it to work quite like that:P Then again I haven't touched the font size of dmg done font so I'm not sure that that's not bugging out because of this.

Maybe he can make a option to turn on/off changing font size for in/out dmg/heal?

edit: found it. CTfontsize actually changes it without affecting dmg done text. Thanks for a great addon.

Should the font for incoming damage / healing combat text change too?
If not, could you make it so?

This.
So many font addons and I've tried them all. Unless they're adding their own text like msbt, none of them change healing/incoming dmg font. I'm beginning to think it's some quirky thing by blizz where they've made it really hard to do.
And I'm a healer. 90% of the time I couldn't care less about my dmg.

I was just about to ask for that feature, thx

EDIT: Any chance of a way to edit the default damage text font size? i have a few fonts in mind that i wanna use for that, but the size is way too small as regular

I'm planing big features, wich will be added in the future to laFont. But to realize all this ideas, I need time, and, as you know, time is money.
So be kind and donate!
