    laFont  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

    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!

    Hrm, I have two related issues. The mod will not start changing the zone text before I once go through a sanctuary, and afterwards all zonetext has the sanctuary colour. :s

    No errors though.

    hm dunno if that was the problem, but I fixed something in 1.11 (see changelog for infos). Works fine for me, just try out 1.11 .

    I thought I'd mention, I noticed a lot of code for just changing the zone font, when it can be changed with a couple lines:

    ZoneTextFont:SetFont("font.ttf", 32, "THICKOUTLINE")
    SubZoneTextFont:SetFont("font.ttf", 26, "THICKOUTLINE")
    PVPInfoTextFont:SetFont("font.ttf", 16, "THICKOUTLINE")

    Wll, in fact I'm not changing the font, I'm changing the string (font, color, text).
    That's why I'm doing all this ^.^
    I'm working on an update wich is much more neat that 1.11. There you will be able to choose if just want to change the font or the font/color/text.

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

    Seems to be a bug when you're zoned in a bg. The default font is always used in a pvp zone apparently, even when using this mod

    "# You can now change the fontsize, see .lua for more information."

    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

    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.
