**PLEASE NOTE:** **The files contained in this mod are geared towards PC players using a Keyboard and Mouse.** **If you play using a Controller, this mod will not work without some changes you will likely need to make.** I do not currently have the energy to update or provide a walkthrough for this process, and further, I don't have a controller to test with. **Please see the Controller setup sticky posts by gryzzz in the Posts page.**If someone wants to upload a version of this mod specifically for Controller support, please feel free to do so.  
  
There are many users requesting very specific changes to accommodate their own personal wishes. I appreciate your feedback, but I apologize. I cannot fulfill these various requests for you. I urge more users to download the BG3 Modders Multitool and figure out how to achieve these results yourself. There are already a few places where you find guides on the .pak decryption process. Here is a place you can start: <https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/y7lghy/how_do_i_extract_bg3_pak_files/>

*Known issue: This mod may not function as intended if you are using a font which does not support Cyrillic characters. You should use fonts that support Cyrillic characters for best results. Apologies for any inconvenience!*  
  
DIY Font Replacer is a very small mod which does two things:  
1. Allows you to **replace the default vanilla font**with any font of your own (download any from the internet or use one that's already installed on your computer), or choose from one of the hand-picked fonts I've included with this package. Larian used the same font for every UI element. This mod will replace that font.  
2. Allows you to **adjust the sizes of the font** based on Larian's scaling convention. For example, if you want flavor text on tooltips to be smaller, you can change this! If you want to use a very bold font, you can adjust the size to your preference so that it's not overwhelming.  
  
  
**INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS**  
* Download the DIY Font Replacer from NexusMods.
* Extract the files anywhere you like.
* Then, simply **copy the "Public" folder and paste it inside of your Baldur's Gate 3\Data folder**. It should look something like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Public

  
Go ahead and launch the game and notice the difference! The font I've preselected for you is called "**Aller**" - which you are welcome to change by following the steps below.  
  
  
**HOW TO CHANGE WHICH FONT IS USED IN-GAME**  
* Navigate to **[your installation path]\Baldur's Gate 3\Data\Public\Game\GUI\Assets\Fonts\Replacers**.
* **Double-click on any font in this folder** to view it, or download a free font from the internet and save it in this **Replacers** folder.
* You need to remember the "**Font name**" displayed in the top-left corner once you are viewing your selected font (see screenshot below).

* Now, navigate backwards to the **\GUI\Theme** folder﻿.
* Open **Keyboard.Fonts.XAML** (preferably in Notepad++ or your text editor of choice).
* Line 18 should start with: **<FontFamily x:Key="DefaultFont" >**
* Change the font called "**Aller**" on line 18 to the name of the font you have chosen, for example: **PostAntiqua**. Do not remove the **#** before the font name - this is required.
* Save the **Keyboard.Fonts.XAML** file.
* **Launch Baldur's Gate 3**! You should notice the change as soon as the first loading screen help tips appear. All uses of the vanilla font have now been replaced with the one you chose!
* **Note: If no text is appearing anywhere in-game**, it means you either don't have that font placed in the \GUI\Assets\Fonts\**Replacers**folder, or you did not use the font's proper name as shown in Step 3.

  
  
**HOW TO ADJUST YOUR FONT'S SIZES**  
  
If you find that your chosen font is too large or too small, then open the **DefaultTheme.Fonts.XAML** file in the **Theme** folder and follow the commented text inside. You can also refer to the image below:

That is pretty much all there is to it. Feel free to download any fonts you find online and place them in the **Replacers** folder, then reference those fonts by name in the **Keyboard.Fonts.XAML** file and try them out in game!  
  
  
**TUTORIAL VIDEO / WALKTHROUGH**  
  
If you are stuck, please refer to this video guide covering both replacing your font and adjusting your font's size:  
  
  
Good luck and have fun. :)

Replace the in-game font with any font of your own (and change font sizes if you want to). Includes a small handful of clean, readable fonts ready to go!
