Fonts!
 

Hi everyone, the subj is: after 5.0.4 i cant simply change all ingame fonts by creating folder "Fonts" with 4 basic font files and renaming my fonts into names of existing blizzard fonts. Now i should use addon for my aim, but i still cant find a suitable one, every new addon i try has a lack of functions or smth another that makes me angry :) So, is that possible in that patch to change fonts somehow like i did before? Or its inevitably to use an addon for this purpose? If its inevitable to use an addon, plz suggest me one that wouldnt want me to stare at .lua file in order to turn off stupid outline of any font or smth like this.

Which fonts can't you change using the regular method?

I didn't change anything from Cata to MoP and the fonts that are in my WoW/Fonts folder are still overriding everything as intended (as far as I can tell).

What a badluck, after my first launch 5.0.4 i saw that menu and npc names turn into standart blizzard font, i even tried to load new client and reinstall my UI, but nothing has changed :(

I'm still using the same Fonts folder I've been using for years, and everything -- including the login screen, and overhead unit names -- are displayed in my custom font as expected, so I don't think Blizzard has changed anything. There must be something not quite right on your end.

Are you on Windows or Mac?

If you're on Windows, make sure you don't have file extensions hidden... otherwise you're probably giving your files names like "ARIALN.ttf.ttf" instead of the correct "ARIALN.ttf". To turn off file extension hiding, click the "Organize" button at the top of any folder window (just below the back/forward arrows), click "Folder and search options" in the dropdown menu, click the "View" tab in the popup dialog, uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", and finally click "OK" to close the popup dialog. Now you should see the real, full names of all files. Make sure there aren't double extensions.

Posting a screenshot of your Fonts folder might help, too.

I can confirm it still works, so it's definitely a file naming issue.

Also its worth to add that using familiar folder "Fonts" still helps to change some fonts into mine:
- login and pass fonts,
- almost all addons fonts, except tiptac and may be couple more.
Other fonts (npc, dialog boxes, announcements, warnings etc.) remain standart.

My file extension isnt hidden, here is a screenshot.

You're missing one new font file: FRIENDS.ttf

I guess one other note, based on what phanx said, if you go to the "details" view of the folder is it just the font name (and nothing else) with a "TrueTypeFont" extension listed as the file type? Just to make 100% sure.

ex:

Thanks for note about new font, but adding didnt change anything (at first glance) :(

Based on your screenshots, I'd guess you are playing in a Russian client. If so, then the problem likely stems from Blizzard having added separate font files for Russian (and Korean and Chinese) in 5.0.4.

Vladinator posted a complete list of the new fonts here:

You can also see some discussion in that thread about the font changes.

Try adding these files:

• FRIZQT___CYR.TTF (that's 3 underscores)
• MORPHEUS_CYR.TTF
• NIM_____.ttf (that's 5 underscores)
• SKURRI_CYR.TTF

I'd recommend leaving the old files, even though they aren't all used by the Russian client directly, as many addons refer to those files.

Adding font files with new names solved the problem! :banana:

Thank you so much Phanx! Didnt find any buttons here like "+" to click in gratitude :o
