Alright so the current version of the AddOn does NOT support MyAdditionalFonts.lua by default, which means to things:

You have a modified version of the SharedMediaAdditionalFonts.toc file that lists the MyAdditionalFonts.lua file, and

The format of your MyAdditionalFonts.lua file is incorrect.

While 1) is correct, 2) needs to be fixed. You should give a look at the ShareMediaAdditionalFonts.lua file and make sure that your MyAdditionalFonts.lua is similar.

Here is what your file should look like:

-----

if not SharedMediaAdditionalFonts then return end

SharedMediaAdditionalFonts:Register("font", "Readable Font Name", [[Interface\Addons\SharedMediaAdditionalFonts\fonts\YourFont.ttf]])

-----

The parts in bold need to be changed. The last line can be copied for each font that you want to add.

My font list is significantly smaller with the new patch. All of the "vibro" fonts are missing among many more. I used Vibrocen for everything. Do I need to add it somehow or are we waiting for more updates?

Thanks

The Vibrocen fonts are not provided by this addon, but I can think about adding them after some testing. Do you know which addon is providing the Vibrocen fonts?

Also, are you talking about this font? https://www.dafont.com/vibrocentric.font

The only other addon I can think is SharedMedia. I thought it was from the additional fonts. Its been a long time since I have loaded the addon.

The Vibrocentric is pretty close but appears to be a derivative of the other or visa versa.

The vibrocentric looks really good though.

That would be surprising. SharedMedia has been updated for 8.0.1 and does not include Vibrocen. If you have a link to the Vibrocen font you are using, I'll happily include it after testing and only if the licence allows it.

I have a .ttf for the Vibrocen font. I know it is also available with LUI.

I also found it here:

I am not currently using vibrocen, or so I thought.

Well as it turns out my fonts are still where they used to be in the sharedmedia_mymedia folder and the additional fonts folder. It seems they are not being picked up by the shared media addon. I will have to wait for it to get updated or rather fixed.

Oh so I know where it's coming from. The latest version of the AddOn API generates an ERROR when the AddOn tries to load a file that does not exist.

In previous versions of the AddOn, you could include a MyAdditionalFonts.lua file where you could list additional fonts you wanted to use. Unfortunately, with API 8.0.1, the only way to fix the loading error is to include an empty MyAdditionalFonts.lua file in the AddOn, but that would override the one that you have.

I'm not sure how to fix this problem. Maybe by adding the fonts that are requested by users to the addon directly?

I'll have to look into this. It can't only be an issue for me.

Is it an error or a warning? Last time I checked, it was a warning.

I installed the add-on via curse. How do I access the add-on in the game so that I can change the fonts? I'm able to see the add-on when I go to the add-on tab in game.

You access this addon through other addons that use SharedMedia, which is a library containing additional fonts, images, sounds. If your other addons do not use SharedMedia, this addon (SharedMediaAdditionalFonts) doesn't do anything.

List of popular addons that use SharedMedia:

Grid

Recount / Skada

Prat

WeakAuras

Omen

Quartz

I have googled about LibSharedMedia, and downloaded SharedMedia, followed the instructions. No success.

And then downloaded this, does basically the same thing(copy the font in the font folder and add a line something like "SharedMediaAdditionalFonts:Register("font", "myfont", [[Interface\AddOns\SharedMediaAdditionalFonts\Fonts/myfont.ttf]], 255)" ), and it worked.

A question : You have made a wrapper function, created a frame, and registered a function for an event. Is that necessary? The SharedMedia way,

LSM = LibStub("LibSharedMedia-3.0")

LSM:Register("font", "myfont", [[Interface\AddOns\SharedMediaAdditionalFonts\Fonts/myfont.ttf]], 255)

is simpler, but doesn't work and yours just works, and I don't know why.

Ah, nevermind. I did a silly mistake. I edited the file in linux, and then copied to the windows machine, and prolly some BOM or CR+LF problem was there. I made the same file in windows machine, and it worked.

Just rename the fonts and replace them with one of the 25 fonts in the AddOn folder.
