General Discussion - Path of Exile font? - Forum

Here are some screenshots: http://i.imgur.com/ANGFElj.jpg http://i.imgur.com/hLDHxFy.jpg It's mostly about replacing some files inside the Content.ggpk archive. However it's probably against the terms of service modifying game files in any way, even if it's for your own use only. Change the font and Path of Exile transforms into Path of Diablo.

Wow it actually looks good with old Diablo font. Hope this becomes a option in the future http://poestatistics.com/users/seibar/	Posted by Seibar on Nov 25, 2013, 6:24:20 PM Quote this Post
No, it looks like Diablo 2. Go play Diablo 2 if you want that font or just download it. Dont turn POE into something it is not.	Posted by Deleted on Nov 25, 2013, 6:29:25 PM
I'm gonna guess that GGG would get sued if they offered the old D2 font in game. Forum Sheriff	Posted by tpapp157 on Nov 25, 2013, 6:35:35 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

" No, it looks like Diablo 2. Go play Diablo 2 if you want that font or just download it. Dont turn POE into something it is not. We aren't talking about totally changing the font to it. We are talking about adding the option for those who want it to have the availability to do so. Rage somewhere else.

They would need a license from who made the font, if applicable.	Posted by Natharias on Nov 26, 2013, 1:08:16 AM Quote this Post
Try replacing files in C:/Windows/Fonts folder. Here is an archive that adds proper cyrillic support, for example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qi1s6cacwde0kzr/POE_Cyrillic_Fonts.rar I think you could just replace these files with other fonts, keeping original file names, copy them to Fonts folder and the game will use your fonts. Haven't tried it myself. Last edited by Redzor on Dec 5, 2013, 3:53:18 PM	Posted by Redzor on Dec 5, 2013, 3:51:20 PM Quote this Post
Generally you can just rename and drop new font files over old ones and itll work fine. Mind you though, thats only generally. There is no guarantee the font of your choice supports all the chars used by POE. pf! (Man I love that spellcheck thinks pf is a word but flags spellcheck) HAIL SATAN!
