Drag & Drop: Magical

Fontify

What?
It's a simple batch file for changing fonts. Pop it in the /Fonts/ folder (which you may need to create) and drag a font onto it to replace the fonts. You can also run it and type in the font name, provided the font in question is in the /Fonts/ folder.

Why?
Because I'm sick of the manual copy/paste/rename messiness. Computers are our friends, right? CopyFonts was the inspiration--I had no need to install Python.

What if I only want to replace certain fonts?
Open up the file in your text editor of choice and comment out the fonts you don't want to replace. For example, I like to keep MORPHEUS different:

Code:

copy %font% "ARIALN.ttf" /y
copy %font% "FRIZQT__.ttf" /y
::copy %font% "MORPHEUS.ttf" /y
copy %font% "skurri.ttf" /y

But the code is so messy and x is so much better!
This works for me so I'm sharing it in case anyone else wishes to make use of it. I'm not too interested in improving my batch scripting skills.

What fonts should I use?
There are literally thousands of fonts that you might use. Finding a font that actually looks good in WoW can be quite a task, however. I'm currently using Expressway Free as was recommended by a user on the WoWInterface forums (not sure who) along with Desyrel as a replacement for MORPHEUS.

I run Mac OS/Linux/etc. Will this work for me?
No, this will only work on Windows (tested on XP, your mileage may vary). Try the aforementioned CopyFonts.
