I'm trying to use a specific font for my skin, but I can't understand what's the right code .

I tried

it is under SkinInfo tag only?! (at least the Schema says that it would be like

code:

---

<SkinInfo>
...
<Fonts>
<Font>
<File>....ttf</File>
</Font>
</SkinInfo>

I've gotten it to work.

Although I have to go sleep I'll edit/post again when I have time! (lol sorry really busy for the last few days in Canada)

explanation instructions yet naga?

I've gotten working (I deleted the code for it ) again, and I'm writing up the instructions right now...(its like 5 in the morning here )



Gimme like day and I should be done with the instructions .

thanks naga, hope it works for my ttf

Hello!

Which is the difference between the skininfo 1 and skininfo2? Or rather since(as,like) do they work each one?

For that you say that the sources(fountains) are alone supported by the version 2?
All the versions is it?

I will be dependent on how you achieved it!!! For the sources(fountains)!!!

Sayo!!!

That looks great nagamasa, good work, i´ll be waiting for your instructions too

First you add what -LiNk- has into SkinInfo. It should be equally aligned with <Information> and <Option> tabs.

Then, open your font, and remember the name of the font itself (not the file name).

Next (I know this works with 947 Style, and should work with other Style files), search up fontface, and replace each

code:

---

fontface:rcstr(20071);

---

code:

---

fontface:"The Exact Font Name";

---

Yay it works! (at least with 947 style as Nagamasa says, i haven´t tested with another),  here is what i did (if it´s useful for someone):

Skininfo:

quote:

---

    </Information>
    <Fonts>
        <Font>
            <File>Fonts/Armor Piercing 2.0 BB.ttf</File>
        </Font>
    </Fonts>

If you put the font face in the element{ }  section, every other element that uses the style sheet that doesn't specify its own font, should inherit that font.

Edit (an example would probably be good):

code:

---

element
{
    FontFace: "Times New Roman";
}

---

Great job Nagamasa!

I'll write up a tutorial over the week and contact mynetx to put it on the resources page site as well as on here.

for now to fully replace a font throughout a skin quickly download notepad++ (or any text editor that can replace text in multiple files at once)

After setting up the skininfo with

<Fonts>
       <Font>tnroman.ttf</Font>
</Fonts>

Make sure you know the full name of the font e.g Times New Roman

Open all the styles files for the skin.

Then press Ctrl+H and fill in as such:

Find What:     [fontface:rcstr                                   ]
Replace With: [fontface:"Times New Roman";//   ]

That will replace the font and comment out whatever it was originally leaving in the little triangles everywhere for cursors (because that is fontface:"Marlett"; )

I just updated Vistafy to have Segoe UI mmmm

lol Nile lets wait and see if we can release all these font-changed skins on the same day

Yeah if my post was unclear, sorry! I'm really bad at explaining.

Yup it does, but still got to replace the string number stuff for the others elements/buttons etc anyway.

Got mine working Yes it works in all windows; except the Forward and Options links in Toasts (tried lots of different combinations, wouldn't work)

You can always just make that piece of text an image.

You could have it affect a preview box to the right of the dropdown?
