Pixel Font

Unified pixel font for all client languages.

⚠️ Experimental font technology

The fonts are neither bitmap fonts nor have embedded bitmaps. Instead, they are OpenType/TT outline fonts built with auto hinting technology, which adjusts outlines of glyphs to fit into the pixel grids.

As a result of automated grid fitting, some glyphs may look weird, or even broken.

Compatibility

• WoW’s default UI: ✔ (except world text, unit name and damage text)
• Addons that use built-in font objects: ✔ (e.g. obj:SetFontObject(GameFontNormal))
• Addons that use LibSharedMedia’s font storage: Partial (select “Pixel Font - Default” or “Pixel Font - Chat”, and enable monochrome mode)
• Addons that use standard fonts: ✘ (e.g. obj:SetFont(STANDARD_TEXT_FONT, size))
• Addons that have hard-coded font: ✘ (e.g. obj:SetFont([[Fonts\FRIZQT__.ttf]], size))
