gmarco An Onyxian Warder Forum posts: 362 File comments: 335 Uploads: 46	Hi, I have implemented a slider in preferences where you can add a delta from -4 to +4 to the size of every fonts the addon manages. I was thinking now about such value and I want to modify how it get added. Because it is different if I add +2 to a font that is normally 11 in size (--> 13) but probably I dont see any difference for a font that is normally 32 (--> 34) . So I was thinking to add this delta once for fonts in size <= 20, twice for fonts >20 and <=30 and three times for everything else ... But it should be tested better and so probably ... in the next version I'll commit this first changes asap. Thanks. __________________ This is Unix-Land.

Thank you!

Hi,

thanks for your feedback.

Do you want to use it everywhere ?

But in different places fonts has different size so you are suggesting something like a "+n" to the default size ? or a fixed size ?

Check this sample of the code:

as you can see the choosen fonts get different size depending the place where it is used.

Please let me know.

Sadly I know next to nothing about code, so I wouldn't know the mechanics behind it, but what I had in mind was just being able to bump all text everywhere in the default Blizz interface up a couple of sizes. So quest log, settings, interface options. Anything not controlled by an addon.

Thanks for the quick reply!

This because the size is not uniq but changes depending where the font is actually applied.

Look:

Lua Code:

SetFont(_G.AchievementFont_Small,              GMFONTS["B"], 12)
    SetFont(_G.FriendsFont_Large,                  GMFONTS["N"], 15, nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1)
    SetFont(_G.FriendsFont_Normal,                 GMFONTS["N"], 13, nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1)
    SetFont(_G.FriendsFont_Small,                  GMFONTS["N"], 11, nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1)
    SetFont(_G.FriendsFont_UserText,               GMFONTS["NR"], 12, nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1)
    SetFont(_G.GameTooltipHeader,                  GMFONTS["B"], 15, "OUTLINE")

this is a piece of code of gmFonts.

As you can see the sizes are so many (12,15,13,11,12,32 ... and so on) depending which font they are related too. If you want to manage a single font you can try to modify the appropriate line and change manually the size. Then check if it fits your needs.

If instead you want to change the size of all, the modify of the addon should be easier because I'll probably ended in rewrite lines in this way:

Lua Code:

SetFont(_G.AchievementFont_Small,              GMFONTS["B"], 12+GMFONTS["DELTASIZE"])

Where GMFONTS["DELTASIZE"] is something that we can define.

But also here we have to rethink the things because if a +2 could be a a great value for a font that default to 11 the same +2 is probably nothing for a font that default to 32

So should better to think to GMFONTS["DELTASIZE"] as a % of the font itself, es: +10%.

Btw If you need to change only 1 fonts probably the best way to do it is modifying the line of code

Let me know.

Hi,

there are 2 kind of actions.

the first and easy is to use a shared media font where there is only a master font. You set it and you get it everywhere.

the second is using a gmfonts set of fonts that replace the fonts everywhere using the different styles of font that WoW defined. For this sets I provided 5 style of fonts (normal, bold, italic etc etc ... ) and they are used to replace the default blizzard fonts with the same font style.

In example:

Lua Code:

GameNormalNumberFont  being a bold will replaced by the set font you choose using the bold one, size 11
InvoiceFont_Med is an italic and it will use a italic syle with size 13
NumberFont_OutlineThick_Mono_Small is a regular and size 13 (with outline)

I hope it is more clear now.

Thanks for your feedback ...
