I've figured out how to change your font to ANY TTF and not crash.. this requires no modification to the game client so technically, its perfectly legal in TQ terms.

[Begin]
1. Go to your start menu, Run, and type in regedit and hit enter.
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft&#0 92;Windows NT\Current Version\Fonts
3. Right Click on the right pane and select new -> string
4. Change the name to "Courier New (Original)"
5. Right click on that entry and click modify.
6. Put "COUR.TTF" for the value data and press ok
7. Scroll down to "Courier New (Truetype)" and right click -> modify.
8. Now put in any font's file you want into the value data (ex. i want comic sans, therefore, i would put comic.ttf - comic sans's font file)
9. Press ok, exit regedit
10. Reload conquer and enjoy!
[End]

From now on, if you ever want to use Courier New (who does anyway?) select Courier New (Original) and you'll be typing with the old font again!

Hey r34p3rex, just letting you know man, i made an app for this and gave you credit. Check it out if you want.. makes your method of changing the font a little simpler and also allows you to easily change CO font to any TTF file you download off the net.

old font again? does this mean i can use font Ella again?
if not, then you're telling a method to change font not going through the conquer's ini file?

[giacometti]

well, you can have the old font "Ella" again (by the way, this one is just "Courier New", currently is "Courier"). But the spacing between chars is different now. Now they are smaller and chars get overlapped. It sucks.

so this wont give you the Ella font that conquer had before? it is just courier new?

[neumeu]

so like, how do we fix this and put it back to courier if we want?
