Grimnir is a replacement font for Skyrim UI. The aim of it is to provide a no-nonsense font with good legibility, at least better than Futura condensed, with a clean look. Even if it's a functionnal sans-serif, I wanted it more original than a Futura or a Grotesque. The shapes are warm, the capitals bold, and there are many details that give life to the words. I hope you'll enjoy it.
In order to use it you have to:
-
Download the Grimnir_Mod.zip file. It contains the font encapsuled in a .swf file named fonts_en_mod.swf and the fontconfig.txt file that maps the font in Skyrim interface. Unzip it.
-
Copy the fonts_en_mod.swf file into the common/Skyrim/Data/Interface folder. DO NOT delete the original fonts_en.swf file for it contains the other fonts needed to display the game properly.
-
Copy the fontconfig.txt file in the same Interface folder to replace the original (you may want to keep a copy in case you want to return to the original Futura condensed).
OR (if you have other typographic mods running and want to keep them) you can open the original fontconfig.txt file by yourself, add the line fontlib "Interface\fonts_en_mod.swf" and replace every occurence of the name "Futura Condensed" by "Grimnir".
This font contains only latin glyphs, so Cyrillic and Japanese won't be displayed.
Skyrim is the property of Bethesda, and so are these screenshots of the game.
