    Looking for font change addon

    For years i have used "clearfont" addon which is not updated since 2007 (but it works anyway, there's just no way to customize anything anymore). I also changed few fonts in "fonts"-folder back in classic (iirc) but of course that folder was also lost on my old hard drive.

    Now i would like to forget them and use something more modern. Which would be the "best" font change addon at the moment? There is like millions of different font addons. I don't like basic wow font and that font used in quest text etc. is even worse IMO.

    My sort-of-updated-for-Legion version of AfterFonts:
    http://pastebin.com/raw/pa49xe3C

    This takes care of 99% of fonts. You will off-course have to update paths, sizes, outline and fontflags yourself.

    I haven't seen an equivalent replacement since 2012 when AfterFonts was last updated.

    In case you dont want to mess up with addons, the process is quite easy without using any.

    -You go to the WOW folder and create a directory named "Fonts"

    -Find a font that you like (must end by *.ttf)

    -Place four (4) copies of the selected font in the folder you just created naming the files as follows:

    ARIALN.ttf
    FRIZQT__.ttf (two underscores)
    MORPHEUS.ttf
    skurri.ttf

    (They have to look like theese!)

    Close game, restart, boom!

    That's really only applicable when using a font that happens to work at the same sizes etc. as the fonts you're replacing.

    TrueType fonts (the .ttf filetype) are designed to work at all reasonable sizes. That's the whole point of TrueType. If you're taking a non-TrueType font and just throwing it in, of course it won't work.

    I have used OpenType (.otf) fonts too without issue.
