📋 About This Mod
This is just a bring over from Oldrim to SSE from the original page by evercharmer.
Original mod can be found here:
Alternate Book Fonts
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is not an official SSE page for this so I decided to add it in case anyone looking through UI mods came across this instead of hunting for ones on the Oldrim page. This mod is intended for Immersion and role playing and players that are actually interested in reading the books in the game but don't like the original font used by Bethesda. I am not a big fan of it and plan on changing it myself. I have included 2 pics in the gallery of the default font to show how it compares to the other 6.
If you like this mod and want another one that's a great complement to it, try my other port from Oldrim that keeps track of all the books you have read:
Reading List SSE

Description:
Adds 6 new fonts for the books in the world. Currently these are the fonts you can choose from:
-
[]Cheboygan
[
]Datura[]Magik
[]Michaelmas
[]Old Typefaces
- []Planewalker
If you don't like any of the fonts here, evercharmer added this to the description part of the page on how to convert your own fonts for the books:
If the font you want isn't up here and its licensing doesn't allow for conversion, you can do it yourself. Using the sIRF Generator(http://www.sifrgenerator.com/), you can convert ttf font files to swf files, which the game can use. Note that some fonts may not have all the
characters necessary, and I've found that some don't work even if they do though I can't figure out why. After this, you need to edit the file
'fontconfig.txt' in your interface folder like so:
Add the following line:
fontlib "Interface\yourfontname.swf"
And change the following line:
map "$SkyrimBooks" = "SkyrimBooks_Gaelic" Normal
map "$SkyrimBooks" = "yourfontname" Normal
Obviously, replace yourfontname with whatever you called the swf

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Nostalgic Morrowind font for book lovers (517 endorsements).

- Decent download count (24,918) shows it's been tried by many.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects book fonts—if you wanted a full UI overhaul, this isn't it.

For Skyrim players who miss Morrowind's Planewalker font and want that Magic card vibe in their books. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive UI overhaul or if you prefer the vanilla font.
