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!!!

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);
with
code:
fontface:"The Exact Font Name";
. That should cover most of the text. If not, then add them in individually.

An optional step, is of course, give me some positive rep (A).

If you have any problems, post them here, and I can help (or someone that did get it to work can).

RE: RE: [Help] Fonts element
Yay it works! (at least with 947 style as Nagamasa says, i havenīt tested with another),  here is what i did (if itīs useful for someone):

Skininfo:

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


But I had to replace every fontface element over the style.

it rocks!, if i was able to give you some good rep :(
Anyway, thanks for the information :P

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";
}

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

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

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 :D leaving in the little triangles everywhere for cursors (because that is fontface:"Marlett"; ;))

I just updated Vistafy to have Segoe UI mmmm :)
