Just downloaded addon and im tryin' to change font size of combat text.

I tried to change these values from gFont LUA file, but it changes nothing.

-- modify some constants to make the text look smoother
COMBAT_TEXT_HEIGHT = 60;
COMBAT_TEXT_CRIT_MAXHEIGHT = 60;
COMBAT_TEXT_CRIT_MINHEIGHT = 30;

So is there some other file or line where to adjust font size?

Thanks.

I've got a slight problem with the settings on gFont.
When i uncheck the option about numbers replacment, it wont
get unchecked. As fast as i do /rl or loggout and back in again, it's there again.
So i don't know what i'm suppose to do ^^ :P

Thanks for getting back with me on that issue.

My next question is:

Even when it's straight out of the zip file, its not changing any font anywhere the gmedia/glib addons are properly installed and loaded, no errors ('cept for oUF movable frames, which is what i used to move the gframes around; but even when it does throwup an error, i just /rl and it fixes it).

I don't think theres another addon thats conflicting with it (Fontain is close but like i said in previous post, it doesn't change combat text).

why isn't it changing it? I know that it has to work cuz you took a few screen shots of it working.

I like gframes for the most part, and cuts my load time in like 1/2 omg thank you for that! lol

Maybe i have a newer ver of gfont because my ver doesn't have the code mentioned to change

-- retrieve fonts
self.textfont = gMedia.fonts["EURO"] -- Most of the text
self.numberfont = gMedia.fonts["RUSSEL"] -- Numbers such as currencies, stack sizes, charge counts, etc
self.squarefont = gMedia.fonts["ZEKTON"] -- Units and Nameplates
self.damagefont = gMedia.fonts["KILL"] -- Floating Combat Text
self.hotkeyfont = gMedia.fonts["ZRNIC"] -- Tiny "numbers" such as hotkeys on actionbuttons

those lines don't exist, the addon might as well not have been loaded because it doesn't change anything on my screen. The only other font addons i have are Fontain (which doesn't control battle screen text...believe me i've tried it doesn't do it), and SharedMedia (which if i'm correct Sharedmedia is just a giant lib).

How else can i do this?

(cutting and pasting the new code doesn't work...unless i'm a dumbass and pasting it in the wrong place)

Re: How do you choose which font to use?

You don't. It's just a font replacement addon, no options except activate/deactivate.

Err...in fact you can change the default fonts...just pick up the fonts you want to use(you can find fonts in Sharedmedia and other data bases for addons similar to it) ..copy them into gmedia/fonts-- than go to gfont folder and open the lua file...and at like a 1/3 of the text downways you will find :

-- retrieve fonts
self.textfont = gMedia.fonts["EURO"] -- Most of the text
self.numberfont = gMedia.fonts["RUSSEL"] -- Numbers such as currencies, stack sizes, charge counts, etc
self.squarefont = gMedia.fonts["ZEKTON"] -- Units and Nameplates
self.damagefont = gMedia.fonts["KILL"] -- Floating Combat Text
self.hotkeyfont = gMedia.fonts["ZRNIC"] -- Tiny "numbers" such as hotkeys on actionbuttons


At this point just rename the fonts you want to use to the fonts coresponding to these above>For Example I renamed the Emblem font(which I wanted to use to Floating combat text) to "KILL" font( in fact is not KILL is rkillc in the gmedia/fonts folder.YOu do same for other fonts. One thing though...I couldn't find in gmedia/fonts "RUSSEL" font so I just typed "ZEKTON" instead( which was in fact the Disko font renamed this way)..I did same for "EURO: one...since it seems that one is bugged and you can't changed even if you take other font and give it the name of the EURO fond from gmedia/fonts so..long story short the section above looks now for me like this:

-- retrieve fonts
self.textfont = gMedia.fonts["ZEKTON"] -- Most of the text
self.numberfont = gMedia.fonts["ZEKTON"] -- Numbers such as currencies, stack sizes, charge counts, etc
self.squarefont = gMedia.fonts["ZEKTON"] -- Units and Nameplates
self.damagefont = gMedia.fonts["KILL"] -- Floating Combat Text
self.hotkeyfont = gMedia.fonts["ZRNIC"] -- Tiny "numbers" such as hotkeys on actionbuttons

P.S. Remember to exit game for these changes to take effect.

You forgot to package gLib with the latest release. Downloading GLib from the archive hope that works.

Thanks for all your hard work.

I always found it easier to just make a Fonts folder, and create 4 copies of your favorite font, then rename them ARIALIN, MORPHEUS, FRIZQT__, and skurri. Then just drop this folder in your WoW directory. Of coarse this will change all your WoW system fonts. No code needed, so less room for errors.
