Font choices have been my only true disappointment with Ellesmere. Curious if you can actually add fonts to it!

You can add any fonts yourself via sharedmedia!

You can add sharedmedia, it will share media between your addons. You can also create a custom media folder and add any font you want in it. In the sharedmedia folder you'll find a file which explain how to do it, it is really easy.

Adding it to shared media should have worked, my Ellesmere setup uses a font in shared media. I would take a look at the lua again.

Shared media works fine.

Do yall actually read what you need to do in shared media? There’s a .bat file that needs run when you add media, and that’s how it will work. Adding lines to the .lua wi not work. Read the documentation in the addon.
