Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Grats! Now get cracking on all those devs that keep adding an apostrophe to Kings Row!!
PS- your UI font hurts my brain!

How do you change the font settings/style anyway?

To the OP: very funny. Had a good laugh myself.

I thought Kings Row was named (since the Depression) for the old gang "The Kings." Therefore, it's not the row belonging to the king, it's the row where the Kings are located and doesn't need an apostrophe.|

You can use either TweakCoH or just do it manually, by creating a folder called "fonts" in your ../City of Heroes/data/ folder and copying in the font file you wish to replace the default with. Then you simply rename that file to mont_demibold.ttf and it should come up in game.|

Note that because not all fonts have the same width, you run the risk of grabbing a font that's too wide which will cause the the menu buttons to overrun their allocated containers and sometimes overlap with one another.

Thanks - I was going to ask. I have a few comics lettering-style fonts, but I'm not sure of their legibility in the CoH interface. What point size is yours rendered in?|

(Also, Comic Sans is a worthless, sloppily designed font, popularized only thanks to Microsoft's ubiquity. Fortunately, there are alternatives.)

Whoops... My mistake. I used to use A.C.M.E. Secret Agent, but have since switched to Lafayette Comic Pro It's been a while since I've done any changes to it, but I believe I'm using it at 11pt.|

I don't like Comic Sans, and I was very much opposed to it for quite a while, however in my first year of University, I got to meet the guy who designed the font. Apparently it was intended for a very specific use in a casual-friendly UI guide for Windows. However, he finished it too late for that, and it got picked up for use in 3D Movie Maker, which installed the font to the general font library. It proved popular enough there that Microsoft included it in a release of Windows 95, and it took on a life of its own from there. It never really should have been a font that reached the open market, but people liked it because it wasn't as rigid and formal as most of the other default fonts included with Windows.
It's a survivor. I can respect that. I won't bloody use it, but I can respect it.

Thanks Basilisk!
I tried to do the manual way, and it didn't work. Not sure what I did wrong, hmmm...

It took someone pointing it out for me to find that my I had a Yellow Title that said "Can't Spell " followed by his name. All this was in response to a late night post I made when I was too tired to look at the correct spelling for his forum name.
I've since refused to spell his name correctly on the forums or in game. I did actually spell his name correctly in a PM sent to multiple people listing who all it was sent to. I knew that some of them possibly didn't know the joke, so would have been confused.
Still, this is another good one. Zwellingderheadovermuch keeps proving his sense of humor even under adverse conditions.
Kudos.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
