Change Thy Font Back Guide
Disclaimer!
I have extensively tested whether or not fonts impact the game in a drastic
way, and found that there was no difference between any fonts. I will not go
into detail about my testing, just know that the information I have is all based
on my own system. Please use at your own risk, and have backup files at hand!
Note: Saidin says, "We're still looking at all factors involving game performance.
One of them may be the new font. There are other factors going on too. The new
font takes a little getting used to, and we will be fixing some of the "shifted location"
errors over time." "If you mess up the game editing files it's your own fault."

Also note, if you go into your Windows files and Fonts, if you copy any font there, you can rename it to the default.ttf and it will display such a font. For instance, taking Times New Roman and replacing it.
Just for those who dislike the bland fonts and want something fancier. -

Then you will also need to play around with font sizes, bold, regular, etc...
Hectic, because different fonts have different placements and sizes. -

You do? Just applying TNR seemed to work fine, after all, most of the fonts are configured by the system settings. CF just has a simple base size for the fonts, the computer messes with them for anything else. -

Its like the current font, its off-set. A lot of them are small when you add them, and some just don't work well. Of course you can always find a few good fonts.
Hopefully, all the QQers will see it and stop complaining. There's too many complaint threads about a minor text change.
