Mod for book font? : V

» Wed May 16, 2012 7:38 pm

For some reason I find the books very annoying to read due to the font. I don't like how they write letters like "h" and such, it's very distracting when I try to read. Is it possible to mod the font?

The fontconfig.txt can be tweaked to changed the Handwritten font into one of the other fonts like Futura... if that works for you.

Copy and past the text below into a document called: fontconfig.txt then save it in the /data/interface folder [create the /interface folder if you dont have one]

Spoiler

fontlib "Interface\fonts_console.swf"
fontlib "Interface\fonts_en.swf"
map "$ConsoleFont" = "Arial" Normal
map "$StartMenuFont" = "Futura Condensed" Normal
map "$DialogueFont" = "Futura CondensedLight" Normal
map "$EverywhereFont" = "Futura CondensedLight" Normal
map "$EverywhereBoldFont" = "Futura Condensed" Bold
map "$EverywhereMediumFont" = "Futura Condensed" Normal
map "$DragonFont" = "Dragon_script" Normal
map "$SkyrimBooks" = "Futura CondensedLight" Normal
map "$HandwrittenFont" = "Futura Condensed" Normal
map "$HandwrittenBold" = "Futura Condensed" Bold
map "$FalmerFont" = "Falmer" Normal
map "$DwemerFont" = "Dwemer" Normal
map "$DaedricFont" = "Daedric" Normal
map "$MageScriptFont" = "Mage Script" Normal
map "$SkyrimSymbolsFont" = "SkyrimSymbols" Normal
map "$SkyrimBooks_UnreadableFont" = "SkyrimBooks_Unreadable" Normal

How would you add a custom font (one that is not in the default font library)?

As I understand it, it would have to be embedded into the corresponding flash file for fonts - which is more complicated - but as far as just swapping one font for another [that is already part of the flash], the fontsconfig.txt is the simplest way. This way just swaps out X font for Y font. So if the game requests X, instead of showing X, it shows Y because X was replaced with Y in the .txt file.
