Guild Wars 2

And if this font is not available, what fonts are the closest match? Menomonia is used for the map and trading post, but it is not the font the rest of the UI uses.

Also, I downloaded menomonia.ttf from https://d1h9a8s8eodvjz.cloudfront.net/fonts/menomonia/08-02-12/font/menomonia.ttf for offline use but it is an invalid font file.

EasonPro/CronosPro. They’re included at the top of the wiki’s Common.css.

These are the fonts for the forum, but they do not resemble the font in-game for chat, achievements/events, etc.

You can download

https://d1h9a8s8eodvjz.cloudfront.net/fonts/menomonia/08-02-12/font/menomonia.woff
https://d1h9a8s8eodvjz.cloudfront.net/fonts/menomonia/08-02-12/font/menomonia-italic.woff

and use

http://everythingfonts.com/woff-to-ttf

to convert the files into working TTF-files.

Tiscan: thanks for the link. That works but the name of the installed font ends up being “.[]”. Can this be changed easily?

OK, this is way more complicated than it should be… took me quite some time to find an “easy” way to do it :-)

• download “Typograf” from http://www.neuber.com/typograph/
• install it and start it
• you’ll see a drop-down box in the upper left corner of the window with a folder-icon to its right → click the button and navigate to the directory where your “broken” ttf-fonts are stored
• you will now see two entries in the “Preview” area … one for each of your ttf-files
• right-click them and select “Properties”
• use the “Rename” button to rename them to something meaningful
• after renaming, you’ll be prompted to save the file
• DONE :-)

After exiting the tool, delete it and curse its coder for being a jerk (you’ll know why when you try to click the “close” button ;-))

Thanks Tiscan. You can use FontForge, it’s freeware. I was able to do this with the 2013-11-21 installer. The interface is ancient, so bear with me…

1. Element > Font Info…
2. Fix the names in PS Names and TTF Names
   - Family: Memomonia
   - SubFamily: Regular
3. File > Generate Fonts…
4. Pick TrueType, uncheck Validate Before Saving
5. Generate

Yeah, I tried FontForge, too… but it kept crashing on me and often produced corrupted TTF-files Thats the reason I didn’t mention it.

Thanks so much. TypoGrapf worked for me too.

When I made a template mockup I used Menomonia and it pretty much looks like the font that’s been used for the UI.

See screenshot for comparision.

Pat Cavit.9234:

Menomonia is only used for headings. IIRC the game uses Tahoma for all non-heading text.

The game UI font actually looks more like Trebuchet MS ~10pt to me.

Trebuchet!
Take cover!
