Font oddity

When targetting an NPC, I noticed that the font in the target window is a standard largish san serif font, not the usual SpeedLine. Similarly when I try to use a CA with nothing targetted, the no-eligible-target message is in that same san serif font, not SpeedLine. I first noticed it yesterday, it may have started the day before though and I just didn't twig to it. Has anyone else noticed anything similar? I don't want to call it a bug yet, I need to finish checking my UI directory tree to make sure I didn't mangle anything by mistake, but I don't recall doing anything there between the last time I know the fonts were right and the first time I noticed the change.

you probably checked the "small fonts" option (somewhere in the Alt-O options window)

Checked that. The "smooth fonts" option is checked, but that's been checked for a long time (and fonts look horrid with it unchecked). The "use small sans serif font" option is unchecked.

I put the 3.4.1 update in tonight, and applied the proper permissions down the custom UI tree to make sure I hadn't borked anything there up. I'm going to experiment with font options to see what all the combinations do, maybe that'll shed some light on it.

OK, checked all combinations of smooth fonts and use small sans serif fonts. The size and smoothing/roughness of the characters change, but the font stays the same Arial-looking one instead of the cursive SpeedLine.

The only thing odd I find is in _ProfitUI_FontSpeedline27.xml there's references to images/fonts/FontSpeedline27_0.dds but that file doesn't exist...

AUGH... OK, I'm a doofus. In _ProfitUI_Styles.xml there's references to a font path UI/ProfitUI/fonts/Speedline.ttf. When i put 3.4 in I put it in UI/Profit34 to avoid overwriting my old 3.3 copy until I was sure things were good. Bet any money if I move things back to UI/ProfitUI it'll work just fine.
