Fontain

Example

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.

    When is this addon going to be updated again?

    I would love to replace Clearfont with this but there are several things this doesn't do.

    1. Change the fonts at the log in screen. 2. Names over units text isnt changed. 3. Some mods seem to not use the font selected with Fontain.

    A question... does Fontain allow you to change the font sizes all over the UI? I love Clearfont 3, but I'm also having the hard-crash-with-nothing-saved issue. I'm trying to put up with it but I'm having a rough time.

    Great job, Antiarc. Not sure what's happening with ClearFont2, so I figured I'd give Fontain a try. I love it.

    Please, keep up the wonderful work!
