[BUG] Fonts Switching

Levee · 04-17-08, 08:04 AM

This is kind of an odd bug. It appears to only affect my home computer.

Basically, I have selected specific fonts to use in my compilation. They appear on my computer as they do in the screenshots I posted to go with it:

When others install this compilation, the fonts appear completely different. Does anyone know what the possible root cause of this is, or has anyone had any similar problems?

EDIT: The bug appears to affect ClearFont2, Pitbull, and Prat fonts.

How "different"?

Well, say for instance I'm using Morpheus on my home computer. The font shows up as a very simplistic, easy to read Sans Serif font.

However, when others download the pack, it's showing up as a Diablo 2-esque font that is rather difficult to read.

Hey Tacit... just wondering if you have a font folder in your main world of warcraft folder for your fonts. If so, you probably just need to include it with your compilation. Hope that helps!

Yeah, because Morpheus *is* a Diablo-esque font.

Well, see that's the problem. Morpheus shows up in mine as a very simplistic font. I'm just wondering if it's possible that it could be an error with my Windows install, my WoW install, or something similar.

Honestly, I'm normally much better with my computer than this, but it's just to the point of frustration.

sounds to me like you changed the font's name to Morpheus and and put it in your WoW fonts directory. (isn't that the infamous "Step 2" for Clearfont?).

at least, that's how i changed my font...changed the filename to FRIZQT__.ttf in order to get universal changes.

You didn't answer this question, Tacit.

I wish this were the answer. I simply installed ClearFont2 and went. As for the Fonts directory, I believe that's the answer to my problem. Thank you all for your help!
