spacetimebender Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 A couple weeks ago, my computer decided to go all death-screen on me and I had to reinstall the OS. All my files were recovered, no problem, but even since I reinstalled the Creation Kit, the font for the editor window, object window, etc. have all been bold. I don't mind the way it looks, but it makes the windows too large to see the whole thing and I can't actually read half the text in some windows (like actor editing, for instance). I'm doing my best to work around it, but it's making me crazy. I tried making the font smaller for my whole computer, but it didn't affect the Creation Kit font. I've searched and searched, but it seems I'm the only person with this problem. Does anyone know what I can do? (See attached pictures for what I'm dealing with here.) Thank you in advance!

MissingMeshTV Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 This might be a long shot, but do you use any sort of font management software like Suitcase, for example? If you are, that might be something to look at. It's not uncommon for some font managers to activate the wrong weight of a font and cause the wrong font to display in an application. And if you are using a font manager and have been "upgraded" to the Windows 10 Creator Edition, it breaks font activation...in Suitcase, anyway. The fix for that it to uninstall, then reinstall Suitcase. Not sure about other font managers. If you're NOT using any font management tools, you might try removing (don't delete it yet in case this doesn't work) your CreationKitPrefs.ini file from your Fallout 4 game folder and seeing if that helps. If there is no change, then put it back so you won't have to recreate any preference changes you've made. I don't know if there are any interface font settings in the CreationKit.ini, but that might be another thing to try temporarily removing to see if that clears it up.

I'm not using any font management software, but maybe that would fix the problem. I'll try downloading it. As for CreationKitPrefs.ini, I'll go check that. I tried looking up if there was anything in CreationKitCustom I could change, but to no avail. Thank you so much, and I'll post here if I get it solved for anyone else who might have this problem. Also, sidenote, your videos on YouTube have helped me a lot. I started making mods about two months ago and you got me out of more than a few jams (and now, one more), so thank you! You're awesome. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissingMeshTV Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 If you aren't already using a font manager, chances are you don't need one. No need to go out and install something to add more complexity. If it isn't part of the equation, no need to potentially make it part of the problem. :wink: I only grasped at the font manager straw because I use Suitcase every day at home and work and having it turn off fonts or display the wrong weight of a font is something is deal with a on regular basis. That's not what's going on, so my only other wild guess would be a problem with your system font cache that is causing the CK to load the wrong font weight...only a W.A.G. though. If you happen to notice any other programs doing the same thing, that would point to a system level font issue. Glad to know the videos have helped you out. I'm still new to a lot of this too, so take what I "teach" with a grain o' chainsaw. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will also need to be more specific with what you need help with. Just saying that you can't "make it work" doesn't really given anyone willing to help an idea what your issue actually is.

ghozt24 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hello spacetimebender,have you figured out how to do with the bold font issue? I'm the same as you after having reinstalled CK... Thanks in advance for any tip.ghzfba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlahBlahDEEBlahBlah Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Might give a check in your iniâs to see if aeomthing went wacky there with the font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghozt24 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Hello BlahBlahDEEBBlahBlahI apologize if I'm misunderstanding, do you mean ini files like CreationKit and the like? I already tried to look for something about fonts in those files but I didn't find anything :confused: Edited January 31, 2018 by ghzfba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimboldt Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I've been having the bold font issue as well, and its driving me insane. I have no idea what to do about it. The only difference is I'm having difficulty with the Skyrim creation kit instead of the Fallout 4 one. Any help would be appreciated.
