This because the size is not uniq but changes depending where the font is actually applied.

Look:

Lua Code:

SetFont(_G.AchievementFont_Small,              GMFONTS["B"], 12)
    SetFont(_G.FriendsFont_Large,                  GMFONTS["N"], 15, nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1)
    SetFont(_G.FriendsFont_Normal,                 GMFONTS["N"], 13, nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1)
    SetFont(_G.FriendsFont_Small,                  GMFONTS["N"], 11, nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1)
    SetFont(_G.FriendsFont_UserText,               GMFONTS["NR"], 12, nil, nil, nil, nil, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1)
    SetFont(_G.GameTooltipHeader,                  GMFONTS["B"], 15, "OUTLINE")

this is a piece of code of gmFonts.

As you can see the sizes are so many (12,15,13,11,12,32 ... and so on) depending which font they are related too. If you want to manage a single font you can try to modify the appropriate line and change manually the size. Then check if it fits your needs.

If instead you want to change the size of all, the modify of the addon should be easier because I'll probably ended in rewrite lines in this way:

Lua Code:

SetFont(_G.AchievementFont_Small,              GMFONTS["B"], 12+GMFONTS["DELTASIZE"])

Where GMFONTS["DELTASIZE"] is something that we can define.

But also here we have to rethink the things because if a +2 could be a a great value for a font that default to 11 the same +2 is probably nothing for a font that default to 32

So should better to think to GMFONTS["DELTASIZE"] as a % of the font itself, es: +10%.

Btw If you need to change only 1 fonts probably the best way to do it is modifying the line of code

Let me know.

Hi,

there are 2 kind of actions.

the first and easy is to use a shared media font where there is only a master font. You set it and you get it everywhere.

the second is using a gmfonts set of fonts that replace the fonts everywhere using the different styles of font that WoW defined. For this sets I provided 5 style of fonts (normal, bold, italic etc etc ... ) and they are used to replace the default blizzard fonts with the same font style.

In example:

Lua Code:

GameNormalNumberFont  being a bold will replaced by the set font you choose using the bold one, size 11
InvoiceFont_Med is an italic and it will use a italic syle with size 13
NumberFont_OutlineThick_Mono_Small is a regular and size 13 (with outline)

I hope it is more clear now.

Thanks for your feedback ...

Snichy A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 21 Uploads: 6	Ive been looking for an addon that easily changes the whole default font (since Fontifier was abandoned) and stumbled upon your addon, which is great. Although I really need a way of changing the SIZE of the font, not just the type of font. Is that possible?

10-18-20, 04:14 PM
gmarco A Rage Talon Dragon Guard Forum posts: 314 File comments: 266 Uploads: 42	Hi, thanks for your feedback. The problem is that if the font custon is not supplied with addon probably it trigger an error when build the dropdown menu. If it is supplied it surely overwrite a present custom font. I have to check better the case 1 to see if it could be viable. Thanks. __________________ This is Unix-Land. In quiet nights, you can hear the Windows machines reboot.

Hi,

I really didn't have time to install and use classic

I'll try to do a classic version soon, but in the meantime you can try to comment line 153 in core.lua:

from this:

Lua Code:

for _,butt in pairs(PaperDollTitlesPane.buttons) do butt.text:SetFontObject(GameFontHighlightSmallLeft) end

to this:

Lua Code:

-- for _,butt in pairs(PaperDollTitlesPane.buttons) do butt.text:SetFontObject(GameFontHighlightSmallLeft) end

and then start the game.

Please let me know.

Awesome, that got rid of the error! Thanks so much!
