Fonter - The Ultimate Font Addon

Fonter allows the use of in game and custom fonts to customize your UI, Allowing you to change any in game fonts to one of your choosing.

Works for all text: Chat Text, Damage/Healing Text, Quest Text, Quest Log Text, NPC Names, Center Screen Text including Raid Warnings, Stacks, Bag Frame, Tooltips etc...

All fonts can be changed in size to suit your UI. Fonter also adds additional font sizes to the chat frame, by right clicking the title of the panel e.g. 'General' or 'Combat Log' and scrolling down to font size.

The configuration menu is built into the 'Addon' menu and also has a command /fonter.

Fonter has a profile menu allowing you to change fonts and font sizes and saving them to a profile, this allows multiple font profiles for each of your characters.

Damage and Unit Names fonts require a Logout and Login.

You can also add custom fonts. And all fonts are automatically put into alphabetical order so no need to sort them. Instructions on how to add custom font(s) are included in 'Custom Fonts Install.txt' in the main addon directory.

When fonts are added to Fonter it also allows any other addons that can use fonts to render them as long as they use the LibSharedMedia , Such as Wim, Skada, DBM etc which dont allow custom fonts installations, And will also read fonts from other addons which use the LibSharedMedia.

Currently World of Warcraft only supports TTF fonts and not all TTF fonts support characters used by WoW.
Use these characters as a test to see if your font is compatible with WoW :   []{}()ÀßÐÁéúíó^%$£"!_+=@~<>/|\;:

Damage/Healing, Raid Warnings, Unit Names and Nameplates font sizes cannot be changed due to the way blizzard have designed the frames, However you can choose/download small fonts to overcome this:

To increase or decrease a font size of a font you like please download 'Type Light' from: http://www.cr8software.net/typelight.html   Its FREE :)

Open the font you wish to edit, then go to: 'Font' -> 'Metrics' -> 'EM Unit Size' and increase this number to decrease the font size or decrease this number to increase the font size. Give it a new name when you save it. Exit WoW completely add your font (Refer to the 'Custom Fonts Install.txt' in the Fonter folder) then restart WoW and select your font.

'Type Light' can also be used to convert non TTF fonts into TTF fonts by opening the font with 'Type Light' and then saving the font as TTF also be sure to select 'Convert to TT curves' from the 'Global Ops' menu before saving.
