How to change nUI font without changing chat font?

[Thander]

Is there a way to change the font that nUI uses with changing the chat font?

I like the default font for the chat frame and combat log, but want a different one for the nUI stuff. It seems like they are linked somehow. The combat log does not seem to be linked. It keeps the default font even when changing nUI's font. How do I do the same for the chat frame?

Yes -- you can, but you'll have to modify the code to do it...

You can edit [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Integration > nUI_ChatFrame.lua ] and locate the following section of code

    -- set the chat frame font size
--[[
    if frame.fontsize ~= fontsize then
        frame.fontsize = fontsize;
        
        for i=1, NUM_CHAT_WINDOWS do
            if i ~= 2 then
                _G["ChatFrame"..i]:SetFont( nUI_L["font1"], fontsize * 2, "OUTLINE" );
            end
        end
    end
]]--
