Post by malcooning »

is there anyway to change the default interface font used in tvpaint, or does it use the system fonts?

Re: change default interface font

One of the macs here at school shows a different font in the TVP interface.
unfortunately it is very small and rather unreadable. Does anyone know how to set it back to normal? (and what the normal font is ?)

Default font on Windows is 'Arial', and 'Arial Narrow'.
I thought it's possible to replace all 'Arial' entries in the config.ini with another font, but it doesn't seem the way to go.
Although, if your TVP UI font changed, then it should be possible.
AnyTVPone knows?

edit the file tvpaint.loc in ..Application/TVP Animation/content/resources/data folder and change the line $00050 and $00051

Code: Select all

$00050 "Arial"                  MacOSX requester font
$00051 "11"                     MacOSX font Size

I haven't been able to test your suggestion but through the text brush/font popup i did see that there were hardly fonts there, 2 or 3 and the rest all blanks, so i suspect someone messed with the fonts on that machine. i passed it on to the system administrator.

Thanks for helping
