Which fonts?
What is the best way to determine which fonts go with which interface locations? I would like to change a couple of the fonts but I can't seem to find a good way to determine which fonts are which in-game.
Thanks!

Hard part: figure out which XML file goes to the window you want to change
Easy part: Open that window's XML file up, find out which font it uses, and open the font file and change the fontname and size.

Right ... that's what I meant.
Any ideas?

Well, as an example, I was having trouble with the chat bubbles: I had converted over all the fonts files, and all the non-quest chat bubbles were still using Times New Roman.
So, I ran windows search for "*.xml" in "E:\EQ2\UI\default" containing the text "Chatbubble", and it came up with eq2ui_proxyactor.xml.
So yeah, just search the files for text that will appear in the window and it should bring up what you need. If you're still having trouble you can make a post in the forums here asking what the XML file is for a given window, and someone will (probably) find it for you.

The whole thing still not working
I tried everything what was posted by now, but don't get the Arial Font working.
I asked other people in game and they all have the two pure font files for arial from the first patch. This newest path doesn't includes any Arial Font files.
Maybe this is the reason. I am not sure. I never had so many problems in EQ1.
I need help please. This ingame font is killing me.

Okay, having the font file in the EQ folder is no longer needed, so don't worry about that.
Questions so I can help you out:
1- Are you running a localized version different from the one that came in the box? (Example: Bought game in France, playing UK. Bought in UK, playing US, etc.)
Now I need you to do something.
1- Go to your EQ2 folder
2- Open the UI folder
3- Right-click on the QuickArial folder and click Explore.
4- Scroll the left pane down a few lines.
5- Hold ALT and press the PRINT SCREEN key.
6- Open PAINT
7- Press CTRL-V
8- Save as a jpg
9- Upload it on the next reply to this thread.

possible QA problem ?
Loaded this for the first time today and I LOVE it. But I ran into one anomolly and although I did not exit/remove QA and see if ti was still there ... I have never seen it before loading it.
There was a guy a SK near us fighting on his horse and when he was acutally locked into an encounter a PINK box was shown over his head. I thought perhaps it was missing a font, but if I hovered my mouse over him his name etc came up fine. As soon as the encounter was over the box disappeared.
Any clues? Im attaching some screenshots.

Interesting. That pink box is what shows up when the game can't find a 3D model it is looking for. I have no clue what, if anything, in my mod would cause it.

Perhaps its the target arrow that you see when you highlight a pc or npc.

Doest that mod permit us to use foreign character inside chat? The french localized version does not accept them by default but a lot of the / command ask for them on some of the translated command.

Okay, I don't know if I am haveing a brain fart or what, but when I use this mod I get NO font what so ever. All text is gone. I installed the two files to my mod directory and when the files are removed, all my other mods work fine. Are there other files that need to be moved/installed? Is there any modding that needs to be done to the other XML files. I even copied my Arial.ttf file over and that didn't work either. I am at a loss for what to do.

17/2/2005 EQ2 update breaks the mod
Character names appear, then float off the top of the screen since the latest game update =/
Tried removing the mod files, which solves the problem, but leaves us with the original font.

ATTENTION!
Delete eq2ui_proxyactor.xml from your mod folder to fix this issue. The rest of the files should be okay. This will cause the non-quest chat bubbles to revert to the original font, but the rest will remain as Arial.
Re-downloading the mod once I remove that file from the download won't fix it, you'll have to manually delete the file from your folder yourself.

Quick Arial not available for download?
Hello all...
Trying to rebuild my UI and cannot seem to find a mod for Arial font conversion. Is this in response to the errors after yesterday's patch? If so, I'll shut up and wiat. If not, can somebody point me to where I can DL? Thanks.
Cheers,
Parkus

It should be up again in the Miscellaneous section. You probably attempted to find it while it was being updated for yesterday's patch.

Hmm... any chance you would still do some work on this mod?
I like it and I am not comfortable with the original fonts nor with the smooth fonts... those just don't fit for what I like.
And now with DoF the text for the tooltips seem to not work properly anymore. Well... only tooltips causing trouble so far. No text appearing in the small window. No matter if I changed font sizes or using the original version.
Any clues?

Thanks. That was more than enough help. It worked.
(Added following line to the fonts.xml like suggested:
<TextStyle Algorithm="Simple" FontName="Zapf Calligraphic 801 Bold BT" Language="english" Name="Font_Tooltip" PointSize="15" PrivateFontPath="UI/Fonts/zcal801b.TTF" UseCachedFont="true"/>
...it's working well again.)
