📋 About This Mod
Pre-defined setup of TrueType fonts for OpenMW to make users life easier.
Main archive with fonts requires OpenMW between 0. 45 and 0. 48 nightly builds from July 18 2022.
Newer OpenMW already has built-in TrueType fonts used by this mod, so it is enough just to remove lines from openmw.cfg (location is here) which tell OpenMW to use Morrowind's bitmap fonts:
fallback=Fonts_Font_0,magic_cards_regular
fallback=Fonts_Font_2,daedric_font
Optional high-resolution UI button textures require OpenMW 0. 46 or newer.
Included fonts:
1. Pelagiad by Isak Larborn - used as a replacement for Magic Cards font
2. Ayembedt by Georg Duffner - used as a replacement for Daedric font
3. DejaVu LGC Sans Mono - used as a replacement for Century Gothic font
All fonts in the main archive come with already tweaked openmw_font.xml to make these fonts to work properly.
To install this mod for 0. 45-0. 47 or old 0. 48 builds, just download an archive with fonts and place the Fonts folder to the configuration folder (location is here).
More info about fonts settings is here.
Optional files contain HD texture buttons and the tweaked Pelagiad font (which better fits the Magic Cards font size than original Pelagiad).

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have OpenMW installed and know its data directory location – fonts go there.

- Test the fonts in-game after installation; if they don't appear, check that the font names match OpenMW's expected names.
