DmgFontChanger

A lightweight addon for WoW TBC Classic Anniversary that lets you change the floating combat text font (damage numbers, healing, crits) using any font from LibSharedMedia-3.0 or your own custom .ttf file.

Features

• LibSharedMedia Integration – Browse and select from all fonts installed by your other addons (ElvUI, Details!, SharedMedia, etc.)
• In-Game GUI – Visual font picker with a scrollable list where each font name is rendered in its own typeface, so you can preview before selecting
• Live Preview – See how your damage, crit, and healing numbers will look directly in the settings panel
• Minimap Button – Quick access to settings, draggable around the minimap
• Slash Commands – Full control via /dmgfont or /dfc for those who prefer the command line
• Scrolling Combat Text Controls – Adjust font size and outline style (None / Outline / Thick Outline) for Blizzard's SCT on your character
• Custom Font Support – Drop any .ttf file into the Fonts folder and load it via /dmgfont path
• Persistent Settings – Your font choice is saved between sessions and automatically applied on login

How It Works

WoW has two separate combat text systems:

3D Damage Numbers (yellow/white numbers above enemies)

• Rendered by the game engine, not the UI
• This addon can change the font face only
• Requires logout to character select and log back in to take effect

Scrolling Combat Text (text on your character like "Stunned!", healing received)

• Rendered by the UI system
• Font, size, and outline can all be changed
• Changes take effect immediately

Installation

1. Extract DmgFontChanger to your World of Warcraft\_classic_\Interface\AddOns\ folder
2. Recommended: Have LibSharedMedia-3.0 installed (included in most UI addons like ElvUI, Details!, SharedMedia)
3. Restart your WoW client

Usage

GUI

Open the settings panel via:

• Minimap button (draggable)
• /dmgfont gui or /dfc gui

Select a font from the list → confirm Logout → log back in → done!

Slash Commands

Shorthand alias: /dfc

Custom Fonts

Want to use your own font?

1. Place your .ttf file in DmgFontChanger/Fonts/
2. In-game: /dmgfont path Interface\AddOns\DmgFontChanger\Fonts\yourfont.ttf
3. Log out to character select and log back in

Important Notes

• Font changes require a logout to the character selection screen. A /reload alone will not apply 3D damage font changes — this is a limitation of the WoW engine, not the addon.
• SCT (Scrolling Combat Text) changes like size and outline apply instantly.
• Without LibSharedMedia, you can still use /dmgfont path to load fonts directly.

Requirements

• WoW TBC Classic Anniversary (Interface 20505)
• LibSharedMedia-3.0 (optional but recommended)
