Main Font Replacement by Valistar

Wiki Link

---

Replaces the font used for the main UI elements with a selection of less modern fonts.

I was testing this out in-game, and I think we should NOT recommend Magic Cards. It overflows rather often. Centaur is better than Magic Cards in this I know. I'm going to test out Fertigo Pro next to see if that one is better.

Fertigo Pro is want I use and it is very nice.

Completely agree, have been using it since STEP recommended it back in the pdf only days. Like 1.X.X days.

Well then, I'll just change this to only recommend Fertigo Pro!

I think the fertigo pro font is a little too large for the skyrim interface, in the lockpick ui the amount of lockpicks available text size is quite small unlike the vanilla font. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8xYm1YXSmHeN2lROGhXeFhnak0/edit?usp=sharing

Hmmm. I've been using Centaur since it is my preference, so I haven't really noticed anything like that. You might want to try that instead.

[TechAngel85]

I don't have that issue with Fertigo Pro... do you have any extra interface mods that aren't in STEP? Also, what is your resolution?

 

Scratch that! You do get this issue when you have double digits for the number of lockpicks. This is just....wow! How long have we recommended Fertigo Pro and no one has ever noticed this. We should probably think about changing this recommendation. Centaur is very nice and probably the next best option.

My resolution is 1360x768 which I guess might be the problem. I'm only using ui mods from STEP and looking at my interface folder through MO nothing is overwriting the vanilla lockpicking file.

[EssArrBee]

It's a combo of SkyUI and the font. It's the only thing that is tiny AFAIK.

I prefer Fertigo. Maybe we can fix the small font problem.

Here is also a comparision between Vanilla and Fertigo, because i couldn't find any comparison to vanilla:

And doesn't it also shows that "Notice:Non-English versions of the game cannot use these font replacements." is wrong?!

I guess whatever language that is is fine, but there is no replacement characters for anything that ins't an English letter or number. So any language with different characters will have problems.

Ok i think äöü my cause problems(which does it also in MO, which is unacceptable for me, because there are ways to handle it nowadays*grrr* ;) ).

But i hope my picture may be usefull for comparison.

It's staying, according to Staff voting. The greatest thing I like about this mod is it shows you when you can access the menu options at startup.
