Dmg font size?!

[Felthor]

There is one ting about my ui that have been bugging me for a long time!

The font that appears over enemies when you deal dmg to them.. it is so BIG and it has the WORST resolution ever! :P when ever i crit, it becomes so big, and with a lot of ugly edges, instead of being smooth like i want it to!

is there any way to change size? or even fix this problem?! i would be really grateful for any help <3

Don't quote me on this but I think the only aspect of the built in Scrolling damage is font so I would say use ClearFont 2 but be for warned this will change the text of the entire UI

Yeah, i am currently using clear font.. but the size is still the same, and it still becomes edgy and ugly in crits :<

Don't think theres much more you can do... Blizzard currently only allows you to modify the font of the Scrolling damage and thats it, but if your a melee class who very rarely uses range then you can use SCT Damage and anchor it to nameplates.

nah, nameplates is the worst thing ever in wow after the original ui... :<


i really just want to reduce the font size :<

GDFont changes the damage font, to fix that bad edged font you mentioned- It's a very simple and small addon.

The size of this font should be ok for you, though i want to change the size. If anybody knows some code to chip in to the code below to change the size of this font, that would be very cool. Here's the code

gdFont = CreateFrame("Frame", "gdFont");

local GD_FONT_NUMBER = "Interface\\AddOns\\gdFont\\Fonts\\Hotel Coral Essex.ttf";

function gdFont:ApplySystemFonts()

DAMAGE_TEXT_FONT = GD_FONT_NUMBER;


end

gdFont:SetScript("OnEvent",
		    function() 
		       if (event == "ADDON_LOADED") then
			  gdFont:ApplySystemFonts()
		       end
		    end);
gdFont:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED");

gdFont:ApplySystemFonts()

Yeah - Pigl33t was suggesting SCT damage as a fix to your problem
