Yeah, since you bring it up - I'm unlikely to update CF again on here until I have the options bit finished - at which point no more lua editing should be needed. Possibly. We'll see :)
You're allowed one noob question, but yours is used up - only Brainy McBrainBrain stuff from now on ;)
Oh come on guys, don't make me answer questions I answer on the website and in the files themselves :)
Open ClearFont.lua, look for the CF_SCALE line.
The problem with this is that the next time you do an update from the WowAceUpdater its going to blow away your changes (like it did mine) and you'll have to re-edit them. It sorta makes the font packs useless too since it goes back to Calibri_v1 after an update.
It would be really nice if there was a way to make our changes stick. I think you can do that with just a couple of saved variables and the only issue there would be that we'd have to login to the game once to change them.
Fontabulous worked fine other than an error on load up - Don't have the text handy but something about Fontabulous:3: and something needed near EOF. The error didn't stop it from working in the least.
Back on subject -
Welcome Kirkburn, and I'm always torn between Fontabulous and Clearfont... Both wonderful. Grats to you and Devla both

Twas some awesome code - took me a while to get around it in my head, but I got there. Thanks :D
@ all coders - feel free to improve CF2, I think it needs some work :) What I do want before release is Evil Elvis' idea of having most of the extra fonts as a 'plugin' of sorts, and for it to work as smoothly as possible - there seem to be some instances where the font isn't overidden for some reason (e.g. the FuBar dropdown list).
In fact, it might even be an idea to split off the font 'style' section - this way, if the base code is changed, people can still keep whatever edits they made. Just throwing out ideas :)
I'm using ClearFont 20000-2, but not doing the added step to change everything period including the fonts at login screen and so forth (as it kinda honestly annoys me there).
Previously, Grid seemed to use Calibri, but today it's using what looks like a Blizzardish font and not Calibri, and it's a little oversized for the buttons and sort of ugly.
The /branches/ClearFont2 version on the svn is working with Grid. No clue if the current /trunk/ClearFont version works with it, but I don't see why it wouldn't.
I know that Grid controls the font weight (bold/not), style (italic/not) and size though.

Thanks and apologies for the noob question.
That said, as I mentioned on IRC, editing lua is probably bad w/r/t stuff like WowAceUpdater

I asked for help with converting Fontabulous (mostly the xml) on these forums a couple months ago, no replies...sigh.
Good to see you're getting support ;)

He figured that out like 2 posts ago :P
Needs testing (and fixing up?), it does.
Comes with 5 fonts, font and scale options. Not finished by any means, but it's a start :D
