There are .fnt files in the mpq data in BW which i don't know how to modify. The font in battle.net channels could easily be changed however

Take screen shot -> upload to what the font
http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

But I'm pretty sure it's just MS Sans Serif

I totally preferred the chat font before they patched it in 1.07
and oh, if you're talking about that lobby chat font, it's verdana.

Its just an old rasterized font format, not particularly hard to reverse engineer or look up specs for.

Aside from the 'R' glyph, it's close to a rasterized and very not anti-aliased Akzidenz-Grotesk

Yea, it looks more special because it's an extremely pixelated font for today's standards. (bw is 640x480 compared to a lot more for your friendly neighborhood game right now)

I didn't know where else to post this but I had a dream I found out what font the chat text was, but when I woke up I forgot.

Somewhere deep in my subconscious I know the answer!

Kenyan Coffee is a narrow headline typeface created in 1999. In 2011, Kenyan Coffee was rebuilt and expanded into a larger font family. Don't forget to read the files inside the zip for details. Updated in 2012.


StarCraft is a military science fiction real-time strategy video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment and released for Microsoft Windows on March 31, 1998.


I don't think it's that typeface.

As I mentioned before it's probably Eurostile or a Blizzard's variation of it. Take a look at fonts Starcraft uses for Menu buttons, briefings, and game chat respectively.

+ Show Spoiler [font14] +

You can see that they are the same font of different sizes.
Blizzard probably did some editing on the size 10 font for better viewing though.


Now here's Eurostile typed on MSWord

There are small differences on some characters but these are very subtle.



Starcraft basically uses Eurostile or variations of it throughout the whole game, it wouldn't make sense if they had different one just for game chat.
