#####
|
|
|
|
Default UI font and font used in magic scrolls are defined in ``openmw.cfg``:
|
|
|
|
fallback=Fonts_Font_0,pelagiad
|
|
fallback=Fonts_Font_2,ayembedt
|
|
|
|
When there are no ``Fonts_Font_*`` lines in user's ``openmw.cfg``, built-in TrueType fonts are used.
|
|
Font used by console and another debug windows is not configurable (so ``Fonts_Font_1`` is unused).
|
|
|
|
Morrowind .fnt fonts
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Morrowind uses a custom ``.fnt`` file format. It is not compatible with the Windows Font File ``.fnt`` format.
|
|
To our knowledge, the format is undocumented. OpenMW can load this format and convert it on the fly into something usable
|
|
(see font loader `source code <https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw/blob/master/components/fontloader/fontloader.cpp>`_).
|
|
|
|
They can be used instead of TrueType fonts if needed by specifying their ``.fnt`` files names in the ``openmw.cfg``. For example:
|
|
|
|
fallback=Fonts_Font_0,magic_cards_regular
|
|
fallback=Fonts_Font_2,daedric_font
|
|
|
|
In this example OpenMW will search for ``magic_cards_regular.fnt`` and ``daedric_font.fnt`` in the ``Fonts`` folder in data directories.
|
|
If they are not found, built-in TrueType fonts will be used as a fallback.
|
|
Note that an import wizard copies values from ``Morrowind.ini``, so bitmap fonts will be used after import.
|
|
If such behaviour is undesirable, ``Fonts_Font*`` entries should be removed from ``openmw.cfg``.
|
|
|
|
TrueType fonts
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Unlike vanilla Morrowind, OpenMW directly supports TrueType (``.ttf``) fonts. This is the recommended fonts format.
|
|
OpenMW has build-in TrueType fonts: Pelagiad, OMWAyembedt and DejaVuLGCSansMono, which are used by default.
|
|
TrueType fonts are configured via ``openmw.cfg`` too:
|
|
|
|
fallback=Fonts_Font_0,pelagiad
|
|
fallback=Fonts_Font_2,ayembedt
|
|
|
|
In this example, OpenMW will scan ``Fonts`` folder in data directories for ``.omwfont`` files.
|
|
These files are XML files wich schema used by MyGUI. OpenMW uses files which ``name`` tag matches ``openmw.cfg`` entries:
|
|
|
|
<Resource type="ResourceTrueTypeFont" name="pelagiad">
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to adjust the font size and resolution via ``settings.cfg`` file::
|
|
|
|
[GUI]
|
|
font size = 16
|
|
ttf resolution = 75
|
|
|
|
The ``font size`` setting accepts clamped values in range from 12 to 20 while ``ttf resolution`` setting accepts values from 50 to 125.
|
|
|
|
Any Resolution or Size properties in the ``.omwfont`` file have no effect because the engine settings override them.
|
|
|
|
The engine automatically takes UI scaling factor into account, so don't account for it when tweaking the settings.
