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

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

Command	Description
`/dmgfont gui`	Open settings panel
`/dmgfont list`	List all available LSM fonts
`/dmgfont set <name>`	Set font by name (supports partial matching)
`/dmgfont path <path>`	Set font by direct file path
`/dmgfont reset`	Reset to WoW default
`/dmgfont status`	Show current font settings
`/dmgfont logout`	Quick logout to apply changes

Shorthand alias: /dfc

Custom Fonts

Want to use your own font?

Place your .ttf file in DmgFontChanger/Fonts/
In-game: /dmgfont path Interface\AddOns\DmgFontChanger\Fonts\yourfont.ttf
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)
