The files are in the skin folder in a folder named fonts.

As you can see if you open the kit name.fontxml is the following code

 

<record>
<string id="file_name" value="GT-America-Standard-Bold.ttf"/>
   <integer id="extra_spacing" value="0.6" />
<real id="boldness" value="0.7"/>
<string id="capitalisation" value="upper case" />

</record>
 

After place the font file ypu want in the fonts folder you just have to change thsi code. For example: if the font you placed in the fonts folder was helvetica-bold.ttf (this is the name of the font file), you just should change the code for

 

<record>
<string id="file_name" value="helvetica-bold.ttf"/>
   <integer id="extra_spacing" value="0.6" />
<real id="boldness" value="0.7"/>
<string id="capitalisation" value="upper case" />

</record>
 

Note that you should change with the exact name of the font file. 

 

For the "autograph" the procedure is similar but you must create a new xml file (with the extension .fontxml). For that you can copy one of the mine (for example namex.fontxml) rename it and change the code (and don't include the code line for capitalization if you don't want use capital letters).

 

Thanks for your valuable knowledge and time flut.

 

I have had my first success in editing an xml file!

 

So I have managed to change the kit name, but the number seems the same? Is there a seperate xml for the number?

 

Also for the autograph, I followed your instructions to the letter. I created a new .fontxml file which I called playername

 

It seems to have no effect on changing the font though? Do I have to call it something different? How does the game know what font is for the payers name in the profile area?

 

Thanks again in advance mate.

Flut thanks a million for your reposnse.

 

I see that I can achieve what I would like to by editing xml files.

 

This is above my level of expertise! Where are the xml files you are talking about and is there a guide to help the correct formatting of xml? I understand I can just use notepad to edit.

 

Thanks and sorry for my lack of knowledge!

Flut,

 

Thanks a million for your work. It is amazing and increases the enjoyment of FM year after year.

 

Just wondering I have quickly photo shopped the player profile pic. Is it possible to change the font of the player name (like an autograph, didn't you do this another year?) as well as the font for the shirt can this be edited as well. For the pic I just used 2 x fonts that were freely available online. Also where it says coming soon for the stadium, can this be updated to the correct stadium pic? Thank you so much in advance. 

Hi All,

Do you think we will see an update to include promotions/ relegations & correct 16/17 champs league entrants soon? I know that the final playoff is not until 29/5, maybe then?

TIA

Hi there,

Love the skin! Just wondering why it looks different for me? No signature, cap information etc...? Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

Sorry for the question. I am not quite understanding.

In the game folder db 1600 / db1601 (which one do I use?) I see that there are folders dbc, edt & lnc. edt and lnc folders I get it it, simple just overwrite these folders with the ones from your patch.
What I don't understand is what happens with the dbc folder in the game? The patch doesn't have a dbc folder in it just a 'FM 16 real names fix'. I am not sure what to do with this. Can you explain this to me like I'm 5 years old?

So sorry for the what is no doubt a silly question,but I'm confused!

Thanks in advance.
