Is it possible to use Tekticles to change text for UI/etc/everything apart from combattext, and then use nicedamage to change damage font? Can I use tekticles to change dmgfont into something other than the rest of the stuff?
Nicedamage/gdfont doesn't work with tekticles, but I want to use a different font for damage font only.
Tekticles and Nicedamage/gdfont/xDamageFont/... all alter the same global variable DAMAGE_TEXT_FONT.Quote:

The easiest option would be to simply delete any line containing DAMAGE_TEXT_FONT (should be line 25) in tekticles.lua.
This way you can continue to use both AddOn's.
As an alternative you can edit tekticles so it uses your custom font for the damage numbers.
Open up tekticles.lua and change line 25:

Replace "NUMBER" which refers to tekticles CalibriBold font with the path of your font.
To make things easier, place your preferred font directly into the tekticles folder:
E.g. your font is called "damage.ttf" you would replace "NUMBER" with "Interface\\AddOns\\tekticles\\damage.ttf".

Keep in mind that DAMAGE_TEXT_FONT loads only _once_ per session.
When you (ex-)change the fonts you have to do a complete restart of wow for the changes to apply.
Edit: Fixed typos.
Thank you very much!
