Interface\FrameXML\MailFrame.lua:280: OpenMailBodytext:Set text(): Font not set

What else, besides BibMod, do you have installed? There is a known problem where if you have files in your:

..\World of Warcraft\Interface\FrameXML

folder that is causing problems. If you *do*, try deleting them, see if that clears it up for you.

Error stems from blizzard updating their default fonts.xml file.

I just edited all of the xml files for FonTabulous and am testing right now.

I get the exact same error. Deleting the Fonts. xml file from within the Interface\FrameXML directory does work, however removes all custom fonts one has setup for all mods. I believe this directory and file were added when I installed insomniax's compilation.

It almost appears with the latest patch changes that the Mail system is looking to see if there is a file called Fonts.xml and if there is one, it is requiring there to be snip of code for what font it needs to load, and if that snip of code isnt there then it gives the error.

I did a search for mail within the file and there was no reference for it. Anyone know a fix for our problem to get the email to work with the font.xml file?

I updated FonTabulous to fix this issue

This does have to do with insomniax's compilation. I found a fix over at curesd gaming. Open the Fonts.xml file within your Interface\FrameXML folder with notepad.

Scroll down to the very bottom to find </Ui> and place this code on a line directly above it:

Code:

<FontString name="MailTextFontNormal" inherits="GameFontNormal" justifyH="LEFT" virtual="true">
<FontHeight>
<AbsValue val="16"/>
</FontHeight>
<Color r="0.18" g="0.12" b="0.06"/>
</FontString>

Save file and enter game.

Hope that helps!
