Everywhere or Console fonts. Basically, if you have any complimentary
custom fonts, download a patch from the optional files or learn how to
patch it with the tutorials here.
BUGS
Menus and dialogue display languages other than what you’re playing in.
Install USSEP, then download the appropriate translation if you play in any language besides English:
DEPLFRITESPTTK
Low resolution or pixelation on the font.
For users with ENB, delete SMAA files if you use an ENB preset that uses
SMAA. Be wary of using Reshade as that usually reshades your font also,
which can have very visually adverse effects.
I’m getting jumbled animated letters
Outdated skyhud.txt. Please migrate your old skyhud.txt to the new one properly.
To do this copy the values of your old config into the new one. If
there are settings missing in the new config, ignore those settings.
1. Copy fonts_sovngarde.swf & fonts_sovngardeconsole.swf into the Interface folder.
2. Open fontconfig.txt in Notepad+.
Add:
fontlib “Interfacefonts_sovngarde.swf”
fontlib “Interfacefonts_sovngardeconsole.swf”
… to the top of the document.
3. Edit the following values to the font names listed and save a backup of your fontconfig.txt file prior to doing so.
map “$ConsoleFont” = “Sovngarde Console” Normal
map “$StartMenuFont” = “Sovngarde” Normal
map “$DialogueFont” = “Sovngarde” Normal
map “$EverywhereFont” = “Sovngarde” Normal
map “$EverywhereBoldFont” = “Sovngarde” Normal
map “$EverywhereMediumFont” = “Sovngarde” Normal
4. These instructions apply to all languages and files since I took the
time to standardized the file & font names regardless of which file
you’re using from V8.
