Hello. Why is your addon is not supported by RU client ?
In reply to FreestyleR:
There is nothing in the configuration that excludes RU clients. Can't you download it from https://legacy.curseforge.com/wow/addons/shared-media-additional-fonts ?
In reply to AllInOneMighty: I'm a programmer myself, but in a iOS. I had another addon called 'SharedMedia_Noto,' and everything works with it, but I wanted to use your addon because it's more up-to-date and offers interesting fonts. I went through the code, and with the help of my understanding and ChatGPT, I found the cause of the issue. Below, I’ve attached a screenshot where I highlighted what I added from that addon, and it helped. Now your addon works for me on the RU client as well.

11.0.2a also doesn't have the right Expressway font.
The font you're looking for is "Expressway Rg Bold".
In reply to BoneshockCI:
Are you saying the font at this link is not the right one? https://github.com/Caliburnus/ElvUI/tree/master/ElvUI/media/fonts
If not, please provide a link to the right font because I don't seem to be able to find it.
In reply to AllInOneMighty:
Nevermind, found the font by downloading ElvUI from the official website, and also added all other ElvUI fonts!
Seems the Github repository above is not up to date.
Brace for 11.0.2b!
In reply to AllInOneMighty: All good! That repo is indeed very old. Here's the correct one:
https://github.com/tukui-org/ElvUI
Hey, any chance you could add the font "Expressway"? It's a font Elvui gives players access to and A LOT OF weakaura authors use it as their go-to font. But most users don't use Elvui which results in their WAs having horrendous looking fonts. Would be cool if you were able to add the font via this addon so that the WAs start working out of the box
In reply to Khelge: Added to the latest version!
In reply to AllInOneMighty: Thanks! To be honest, I think wrong font was added as it's different from the one I used to have.
File added is expressway_rg.otf but the one Khelge was talking about is expressway.tff and it looks different, at least to me
In reply to andfos: yeah expressway.tff is the right one
Rolling back as well.
In reply to Cheadstina:
Echoing same thing here. Definitely a different font, or a different default weight. This made all my various texts look _very_ different.
Before (using 10.2.6 version): https://imgur.com/YvKrbBk
After (using 11.0.2 version): https://imgur.com/a/ppfrKvz
These are the exact same WeakAuras, no change other than toggling the version of SharedMediaAdditionalFonts installed.
EDIT: Looking at them side-by-side definitely looks like a different font weight being used.
In reply to andfos:
The ones I found are all the one from Adobe:
I didn't realize you were referring specifically to the one used by ElvUI xD
https://github.com/Caliburnus/ElvUI/blob/master/ElvUI/media/fonts/expressway.ttf
Surprisingly enough this one (after I downloaded it) is ALSO called Expressway Rg, but I think ElvUI actually uses a different weight, i.e. not Regular. Anyway, I'm updating it with the ElvUI one right now. Expect a new version soon!
In reply to AllInOneMighty:
Many thanks!
Just for your information, current expressway used is not the same as the one I retrieved from ElvUI some time ago.

Not a big deal, I have commented relevant line in the LUA file but somebody else might notice the difference.
In reply to AllInOneMighty: Just run a test, reverting to the previous version of this addon and using the font I had in MyMedia; it's definitely different :(
In reply to andfos:
Should now be fixed!
Doesn't work for me, does this happen to everyone?
Maybe because they haven’t updated the addon to the latest version of the client yet?
Current game version 10.2.7
In reply to FreestyleR: Any time Blizzard bumps the game version, check if "load out of date addons" has been disabled. On the character select screen, bottom left, you'll see a button AddOns. Click on that and a new window opens. Enable the toggle at the top, then continue loading the game. Note: this tries loading outdated addons, some work while others will error. It is a case-by-case basis.
Any chance of increasing game client/version support to extend to Wrath Classic & SoD in addition to Retail? Thank you!
In reply to DomDashSix:
Done (a long time later)!
