📋 About This Mod
Overview
Replaces all common interface fonts with more visually pleasing and realistic ones while maintaining a "lore friendly" feel. Or less lore-friendly if that's your thing. With the 2. 0 release there are more fonts to choose from with full configuration!
Changes the method that text is displayed on books and notes to make it appear less like they were created with inkjet printers.
Edits all book interface graphics that have improper transparencies so they don't look like stickers anymore.
Supports English French Italian German & Spanish I think.
At least all the fonts should. I only speak English.. sorry.
Compatibility
Should be compatible with virtually every mod unless they alter the book.swf, fontconfig.txt, or book graphic texture files.
Fully compatible with interface mods that use the system fonts and all book and paper retextures.
Compatible with any new books added by other mods, although the page breaks and page formatting may not fall exactly where they were intended by the original authors (Book Covers Skyrim - Lost Library for example). All text will display fine, just not as aesthetically pleasing as it could be.
Sovngarde - Mist's Font Replacer SE patch provided in installer.
Sanguis - An Oblivion Font patch provided in the installer.
Enderal Font For Skyrim SE patch provided in installer.
Scribes of Skyrim - A Font Extension patch in optional files.
Oblivion Interaction Icons is fully compatible but requires you to manually add the lines below to the fontconfig.txt file included in this mod.
fontlib "Interface\Fonticon.swf"
map "$Iconographia" = "Iconographia" Normal

Just use your favorite mod manager. Load after any other interface mods or mods that may change fonts.

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this mod through it to easily manage load order and uninstallation.
- Since this mod changes fonts, it may conflict with other UI mods that also alter fonts—test with your current setup and adjust load order if needed.
- Check the mod's posts or comments on Nexus for user screenshots to see the font styles before installing, as the description lacks visual examples.
