Fontain
Fontain is a simple Ace3 addon to give you a highly configurable set of controls over your UI's font choices.
You can set a master font for your whole UI, and even override SharedMedia so that all addons that use SharedMedia will use your selected font. Additionally, you have fine-grained control over every font in your UI, with a powerful wildcard matching system.
For example, if you want to set your master font to "Calibri", but want your tooltips all in "Bazooka", you could set the font for GameTooltip as you see fit, and all font strings that match GameTooltip* will be updated, including all derivatives. While this is often already done via inheritance, it does catch a number of outlying cases, giving you very powerful control over your UI's font selections.
Everyone who wants to use this addon in Legion should visit the following forum thread and just follow the instructions from "Choonster" (overwriting some lines of code in "Fontain.lua").
This fixed the problem with the "single fonts override" tab staying empty!

Or you can just use my pastebin and just copy the whole code into the "Fontain.lua" file :-)

Thanks !
not working proporly single fonts override not there . update .
It actually worked like a charm. I just logged in, typed /fontain, overriden Shared media and picked a font. Works like a charm!
The Single Fonts Override pane doesn't load. Changing the Master Font setting has no effect, even after logging out and back in.
I just downloaded this today (12/25/14) and tried to use it, but it doesn't work at all. The addon is broken. There are no detailed instructions on how to use it or get it to work, and I tried everything. I used reload ui, I logged out and back on, and I even tried to exit the game and reload it. Nothing. This addon should be removed is no one is going to actually update it for 6.0.3 seeing as it's listed as working and doesn't.
I'll double this. The addon is currently doing nothing.
Same here.
It is not broken it works. Once you change FONTS do not rely upon /reload to make it work. You will have to log off completely and then log in again for fonts to take effect.
I too at first though it doesn't work but when i logged inn next day my fonts were changed. I tested this just 5 minutes ago.
I'm in the same boat as everyone else, but if I try restarting the game the addon still does nothing.
I've been messing with it off and on since late November with no luck at all!
This can be fixed for 6.0.2
Replace line 66 with these two lines:
So I know this project is marked abandoned, but it is still superior to most other font mods out there and worked until patch 5.4.2. I did some research and testing and determined the problem. It looks like the new in-game store added a protected frame for authentication, and any attempts to run code on that generates an error that stops the mod in its tracks.
Changing line 63 of Fontain.lua to the following worked for me:
That will cause the mod to skip the problem frame
I cant find the place where i can change the sub-zone text though...
No errors, no quirks, no glitches as far as I'm able to tell.
I still prefer this over other font changing add-ons I've tested.
This is superior, still, to clearfont2/3.
Couple it with sharedmedia
1. Make a folder called Fonts
2. Put folder in the following directory structure: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Fonts\
3. Find font(s) you want.
4. Change font name(s):
Find four different fonts, or create four copies of the font file of your choice, place them in the above folder, and rename them to the following names:
? FRIZQT__.ttf (the main UI font: NPCs names; buffs, etc)
? ARIALN.ttf (the normal number font)
? skurri.ttf (the 'huge' number font)
? MORPHEUS.ttf (Mail, Quest Log font)
5. Put those renamed fonts in the Fonts folder
6. Log in. Enjoy.
Note: .TTC fonts will not work with WoW. They need to be converted into .TTF fonts for them to be recognized and read by WoW.
