In a bid to streamline the fonts on my UI to a single one, I am trying to work out the name of the Critline Splash font. Hopefully, once I know this, I can do a search in the Critline coding, and change the font of the Splash in the .lua files.
Here's a
picture
of the font for those who don't already know what it looks like.
If anyone has any ideas, or even KNOWS that I cannot make a change to the Critline font through the .lua files, then please let me know.
Thanks.

Hmm, I've had a quick scan, but can't come up with anything useful. I've also checked the folder of the Critline addon and there doesn't appear to be a font.ttf file anywhere.
Does this mean that changing the font of this addon is not possible?

I've made some changes to the .lua file, but with no success. Now the splash message simply doesn't appear at all.
Before, you mentioned 'path to my font' - if I want to use 'visitor1.ttf' as the font for the Critline splash, and that file is located in World of WarcraftInterface/Addons/SharedMedia/fonts/visitor1.ttf... etc. how far back does my "path" need to extend?
Sorry, I'm kind of new to this whole .lua editing business. Thanks for your time and patience thus far.

Again, I made the changes to the .lua file, but the splash text is simply not showing up, in addition to some fanny behaviour of some of the Critline settings in-game.
Have you been successful in making the changes and seeing a different font as a result?

Agh! This is so frustrating... it still isn't working.
Even after entering your updated code, I am continuing to get weird setting display for Critline in the interface menu. And I am still not getting any text splashing up for new crit records.
Perhaps I will just settle for feeding Critline splashes into MSBT, even though it still won't allow me to configure which scroll area it feeds into. Curse these inconfigureable addons!
Thanks so much for all your help nevertheless. I appreciate your time.

While we're talking about fonts, Neffy, could you tell me offhand how I would go about finding out which font template is being used for the macro name text on my bar mod and how to modify it to have an outline? I feel like I'm just not quite getting it. Seems like something I should be able to throw into the tekticles code somewhere.

I'm not sure how those bar mods work, but I assume that each button somehow inherits from a base button template. I'd probably want/have to set macro font string properties somewhere up the line, right?
