View Full Version : WC3 Menu Fonts changed?

Why did the 1.24 server patch changed my WC3 menu fonts to another one?

It looks ugly, has a serif, and it's not what came with WC3 originally. It didn't even prompt me if I wanted to have the menu font changed.

WTH?

EDIT. Here, for you to see:

Yes, the font is blurry for everyone of us.

Thats a bug from Blizzard, I think.

What you mean?

I'm seriously thinking that it was the eurobattle patch that changed the fonts. After using the Blizzard patch, it runs the game automatically and I didn't notice any weird font, not until I used the Eurobattle patch. So?

it's not blizzard bug because I had 1.24 for a quite some time and I had no problems with font.. now after eurobattle has updated (after using installer) my font screwed up too.

Yep, the xpam patch changed the fonts and yes they're horrible. They're eye-cancer.

Maybe someone can set up a tutorial explaining how to get the old font back?

I will try to find it out.

Deprem, could you contact the one(s) in charge of the patch to certify the change in fonts?

EDIT: Oops, late post. Ok, thank you for investigating.

thanks for your meaningless opinions.
if you don't care about the font just don't post here and keep your mouth shut.
those who've been playing this game for ages and would like to have the old normal font back, like me, would like to see some tutorial explaining how to do it.

I found a way but I am not going to post it here since it would "undo" all the work moon/shakar/other admins have done :)

Couldn't have put it better myself.

So, basically what you're saying is "I know how to do it, but I won't tell you because people changed the font out of their own will and you just have to use it"?
No offense, but that's pretty ridiculous. Since when altering the default font is hard work? (i'm not talking about the rest of the Patch). Like Cen said it's pointless and, more importantly, unasked for.
Alas, if they changed it to something else, we can sure bring it back ourselves; You are just purposely making it harder for those in need of help (which is quite displeasing).

EDIT: Thanks for those that suggested the Diabolic Tools, I'll give it a try.

I actually realised only now what you are talking about - since I use a widescreen, I had my fonts always messed up a bit :)

nvm, let us see what I can find out by bombarding a few people....

I tested the Diabolic Tools, used the font changer feature, but it did not change the Warcraft 3 font.

There isn't much to it, go to the Fonts tab, select the Fritz Quadrata and just click Apply. But that ugly Song Light font is still shown in the game.

Did you test it too?

What deprem said should be considered nowhere near to what you just wrote..he probably found some tool that brings W3 to the original,default state ( settings ) of the game,the one battle.net is using and that would pretty much make the connection to our server impossible.
Or it could simply remove the other addons the ebnet staff worked hard for,just to please you..
We'll see what we can do about it,until then ..keep it light with wrong assumptions.

If people do not like this font please vote here (http://eurobattle.net/showthread.php?t=95328) and in the end of the week depending on the pool answer i'll change the default font back.

it somehow changes ur backup or something i then used that and imported it into patch mpq with ladiks mpq editor, it worked, well u can also reinstall wc3 apply 1.24b patch and dont apply euro fix and then import the settings u like on ur own ^^, by the way bloom should have values. As it is it can never be used.

The new installer allows you to chose if you want to use new font or not. Hope you are satisfied, have fun ;)
