Orazur A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	New and improved Hey everyone, I have created my own version of this addon, that you can find on CurseForge My decision came from looking into the code to try to fix the Quest Tracker (as someone already commented), and realising it'd just be easier for me to just start from scratch. So that's what I've done, and tada! It's fixed 🙂 Now I'm also not saying gmFonts is abandoned, because I have no idea! But I wasn't sure when it would get updated, if ever, which is why I am posting this comment. I have tried to reach to the author but I have had no answer yet. If I ever get asked to remove my comment I will happily oblige Keep in mind though my version does not automatically provide extra fonts to choose from, so if you wish to use any of the extra fonts pre-provided by gmFonts you wil have to add it through SharedMedia In the future I'd also like to automatically support any kind of addon that adds its own text fonts, which currently is not the case neither in my version or gmarco's Thanks!

Treacherouz A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	You can fix that error by replacing GetAddOnMetadata with C_AddOns.GetAddOnMetadata in core.lua. That will get it working again. It seems something in the objective tracker has changed however. The font is no longer being affected by gmfonts. Is there anyone who is able to troubleshoot and fix that up? Would be much appreciated! Thanks for this great addon! Last edited by Treacherouz : 08-14-24 at 09:38 AM.

Bliz broke stuff again. gmFonts not loading, no UI Looks like Bliz changed something ? gmFonts (with your patch) had been working up until this latest patch. Now, a number of addons are now coughing up this hairball: Message: Interface/AddOns/gmFonts/core.lua:267: attempt to call global 'GetAddOnMetadata' (a nil value) Time: Tue Aug 13 19:22:09 2024 Count: 1 Stack: Interface/AddOns/gmFonts/core.lua:267: attempt to call global 'GetAddOnMetadata' (a nil value) Locals:

I'll just hand-paste in your second post and stop bothering you. Thanks again for your help, love the addon with all my eyes (even if only two)! ....................... Oh. So I wanted to run "git apply" on that then. Never had to do that by hand before. git apply <file name of copied patch> core.lua results in error: patch failed: core.lua:242 error: core.lua: patch does not apply This is what I copied from the previous post: diff --git a/core.lua b/core.lua index 3dc62f1..3243a98 100644 --- a/core.lua +++ b/core.lua @@ -242,11 +242,15 @@ end -- Configuration Panel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- local options = CreateFrame("Frame", ADDON.."Options", InterfaceOptionsFramePanelContainer) +local category, layout UIParent:UnregisterEvent("GLOBAL_MOUSE_DOWN") options.name = GetAddOnMetadata(ADDON, "Title") or ADDON -InterfaceOptions_AddCategory(options) + +category, layout = Settings.RegisterCanvasLayoutCategory(options, options.name, options.name); +category.ID = options.name +Settings.RegisterAddOnCategory(category) local title = options:CreateFontString("$parentTitle", "ARTWORK", "GameFontNormalLarge") title:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 16, -16) ---------------------- There seem to be at least three addons to change fonts, plus a good number more that let one change fonts just within that addon. That sounds like a good reason for the creation of a library to handle that? As a bonus, the creation and maintenance work could be shared among that group.

It's a diff file so you can't just copy-paste it. The code block should look like this after the diff is correctly applied:

Code:

local options = CreateFrame("Frame", ADDON.."Options", InterfaceOptionsFramePanelContainer)
local category, layout

UIParent:UnregisterEvent("GLOBAL_MOUSE_DOWN")

options.name = GetAddOnMetadata(ADDON, "Title") or ADDON

category, layout = Settings.RegisterCanvasLayoutCategory(options, options.name, options.name);
category.ID = options.name
Settings.RegisterAddOnCategory(category)

local title = options:CreateFontString("$parentTitle", "ARTWORK", "GameFontNormalLarge")
title:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 16, -16)
title:SetText(options.name)
options.title = title

local textmenu = options:CreateFontString("$parentTitle", "ARTWORK", "GameFontNormal")
textmenu:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 16, -48)

A '-' in front of a line means it's removed, and a '+' that it is added.

Not sure if it's the best way to restore the config panel but seems to work. Either I'm doing copy / comment out / paste wrong, or 'not enough magic'.

Help? BTW gmGuildFriends LDB feed doesn't seem to work, although mouse-over does bring the expected listing up, so it survived Bliz' UI maniacs latest rampage pretty well.

Me too!! Bliz has broken this addon -- and apparently screwed around a bit with the rest of the UI as well, as my carefully arranged UI layout loaded with right-hand toolbars overlapping the mini-map.

I really hope this gets updated, as I'm now forced to wear much stronger glasses if I want to continue to play WoW. I suppose I could try one of those complete UI replacement addons like ELVui, but that looks like a LOT of work to set up.

I wonder if using small fonts that cannot be adjusted would be covered by the Amerians With Disabilities Act regs??
