I'm curious/confused, looking for a replacement of phanxfont. It let you change normal and bold font styles. Yours has lines for normal, bold, bolditalic, italic, and numbers, but they are all the same. Why show all those lines if you can only change one master font?

Hi,

gmFonts deals with different fonts types but don't touch the fonts size.

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

Look:
Lua Code:
  1. SetFont(_G.AchievementFont_Small,              GMFONTS["B"], 12)
  2.     SetFont(_G.FriendsFont_Large,                  GMFONTS["N"], 15, nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1)
  3.     SetFont(_G.FriendsFont_Normal,                 GMFONTS["N"], 13, nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1)
  4.     SetFont(_G.FriendsFont_Small,                  GMFONTS["N"], 11, nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1)
  5.     SetFont(_G.FriendsFont_UserText,               GMFONTS["NR"], 12, nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1)
  6.     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:
  1. 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.

Ive been looking for an addon that easily changes the whole default font (since Fontifier was abandoned) and stumbled upon your addon, which is great. Although I really need a way of changing the SIZE of the font, not just the type of font. Is that possible?

Hi,

thanks for your feedback.

The problem is that if the font custon is not supplied with addon probably it trigger an error when build the dropdown menu. If it is supplied it surely overwrite a present custom font.

I have to check better the case 1 to see if it could be viable.

Thanks.

Hi,

I really didn't have time to install and use classic
I'll try to do a classic version soon, but in the meantime you can try to comment line 153 in core.lua:

from this:

Lua Code:
  1. for _,butt in pairs(PaperDollTitlesPane.buttons) do butt.text:SetFontObject(GameFontHighlightSmallLeft) end

to this:
Lua Code:
  1. -- for _,butt in pairs(PaperDollTitlesPane.buttons) do butt.text:SetFontObject(GameFontHighlightSmallLeft) end

and then start the game.

Please let me know.
Awesome, that got rid of the error! Thanks so much!

Hi,

I think it is a problem related to the specific font you choose that has big numbers and relative small letters in the same size.

For me the best solution you can find for you is to try to use another font because both size used in the portrait should be the same.

Please let me know.


HI,
Which core is related to status text?
I want to delete this .

thanks<3
Hi,
I really don't know which font is used there but probably it is the same font used in 90% of other places in your UI :/

So it is a problem to remove it.

Yes!
Thanks for the reply!
And thanks for the solution.
Set two chars font differently, seems working, menu and all after login were different for these chars.
No error message so far.
I'm a happy camper!
Now all my char UI will look SO SLEEK!

One big issue for me: I badly need to retain the font setup PER CHARACTER PROFILE!
How can I achieve that please?

I use a lot of alts, I want to change their interface drastically, but if I use gmFonts, I have to change it log out log in in order to char name text to apply.


Would be insane good if the addon could remember the last set font per character? Any change...?
Hi,
I really never thought about it but you can try to modify the file:
gmFonts.toc

and change the line:
Lua Code:
  1. ## SavedVariables: GMFONTS

to:
Lua Code:
  1. ##SavedVariablesPerCharacter:  GMFONTS

Then start the game again and check if it works
Please let me know.
