I can get this to work if I overwrite this file (eq2uifonts.xml) in the Default skin directory, after patching is complete.
However, if i try to *switch* to this with /loadui, it invariably crashes a few seconds later, although admittedly, it does change the font.
Has anyone been able to get this to work outside the Default directory, or is the problem I'm having "just me" ?
On the plus side, if I do overwite the default, I have zero problems, game runs fine for hours, chat font can be Verdana, Arial, Andale Mono, whatever you want.
EDIT:
Yes, this works with the eq2.ini settings:
cl_ui_skinname arial
cl_ui_subdir UI/
to make it load at startup. Forgot to mention that.. It just crashes if you try /loadui.
