Changing Fonts

You can replace the original game fonts with the fonts you want to use. Create the following folder:

  • Classic Era/HC: <WoW directory>\_classic_era_\Fonts\
  • Cataclysm/MoP: <WoW directory>\_classic_\Fonts\
  • Retail: <WoW directory>\_retail_\Fonts\

Create copies of the font file of your choice, place them in the above folder, and rename them to the following names:

  • ARIALN.ttf — chat font, info text, small text
  • DAMAGE.ttf — damage font
  • FRIENDS.ttf — friends list text
  • FRIZQT__.ttf — the main UI font (NPC names, player names, spell names, item names, buffs, quest log text, combat text, button text)
  • MORPHEUS.ttf — mail text, quest log header text
  • skurri.ttf — default unit frame combat text
