Chat Fonts

These options allow you to choose the style and size of the font used for text that appears in your chat window. You can choose between Old Type and True Type Fonts for the chat windows.

Old Type Fonts
These fonts are the style originally used by the game. The size of the Old Type fonts can only be adjusted by using this Option Chooser program.

True Type Fonts
These fonts are the new style. The size of the font can be adjusted using the context popup that appeares when you right click in a chat window.

Additional Information
By default the Old Type Candara 9pt font is used. Some custom font foreground and background color combinations do not blend well with different dialog skins or transparent backgrounds. This has to do with the way the shading is rendered around the edges of some fonts to smooth the rounded edges of the characters to make them less jagged. You might have to change some of the text colors in the game using the chat control window to correct for this issue.

The original Mythic font styles are less susceptible to this issue because the characters are each a solid color and smoothing of the character edges is not performed. However, this makes the Mythic fonts appear blocky and wider in some cases than some of the custom fonts. An example of this is shown below. Notice how the edges of the characters in the Candara font are smoother than those in the Mythic font.



Note: It is possible to take almost any existing font file that you can load into window and adapt them for use in the game. If you would like to use another font style or size than what is available let me know and I will see if I can add it.
