If we use one or two extra fonts it should be less memory intensive than putting our labels with custom fonts in graphics and using these graphics in place of text labels.. I didnt find any mention of 'Arial' anywhere in the XML, so I assume this isn't possible to do yet. Arial font sucks badly, it is difficult to read at small sizes, Verdana is a much better choice imho. __________________ "I'm not a shrimp, I'm a KING PRAWN !" -- Pepe the shrimp.

We need some FONT choices in this game! Even if it is on the options screen. Even if it is only 3-5 choices. I am SOOOOOOOO tired of trying to send Lillililli a tell when it all looks like Llllllllllll. ....or maybe something like the link idea where each character's name is a hotlink to direct tell...click the person's name and it automatically places a /tell soandso in your main chat window. __________________

I cannot remember where to get the decoder key but it does come from microsoft. Master Tinkfu The Gearless Dev of Test 33rd Age Dragon/Mage of Istaria quest for the perfect FU Sig continues

Ohhh I love that idea sc2kmayor

Would be nice when some one shouts in a raid or guild or what ever and you want to quickly respond with a tell.

Has anyone found a link to one of these decoders yet?
