I replaced Skurri with the font Bloody (free download from Font Squirrel). You can have some fun with this one, since it's so little-used. The font is a bit rough, even in TrueType, as it doesn't have good anti-aliasing (a font technology for smoothing curves and jagged edges), which in this case appears to be a style choice. Rumor was it was more widespread in the combat system, but almost all the rest of the combat numbers I could find were in the dominant Friz Quadrata font (below). This font seems to have been used more early on in WoW's history, but I could only find it in one instance that it still appears: the text that appears over player and pet portraits during combat when they are taking damage. The other three fonts are easy to identify. The first font may not even be in any current version of the game. These are listed in reverse order of use. All you need to understand is (a) what fonts control which parts of the interface and (b) how to create the necessary folder and files to change these to what you want them to be. Font files are renamed to mimic the four standard fonts in WoW, placed in a folder, and added to the appropriate WoW folder. Nothing gets replaced in the standard folders. This guide will focus on issues of readability and clarity, but of course, there are many reasons why you might want to change the font faces to suit your own tastes.įortunately, changing out standard fonts in WoW - any version - is a simple matter.

Some people might just like to have a certain 'look' that isn't offered with the standard game. This can make reading quest text, in-game mail, or chat challenging and can take away from easy enjoyment of the game. However, these beautiful fonts can also be difficult to read, particularly for players who may have low vision, poor contrast vision, or dyslexia.

They enhance the feel of the game and create a fantasy aesthetic many people take for granted. They add great style and flair, and artists chose them for good reasons. Blizzard chose magnificent fonts for its text, titles, and headings.
