The nickname font is not loaded

Hi,

When Fira Sans Condensed Medium is selected as the default font - the nickname is not displayed after login. It can be fixed by running /reload.

Probably this font is added to the shared media by WeakAura.

WoW version: SoD
Grid2 version: v2.8.8

Hi. I tried 2.8.11-beta version - it looks fine now. Thanks a lot!

PS. About your note - I noticed that in almost all addons some fonts are not displayed instantly when open the font combobox (in the addon settings). There is a blank space instead and closing/opening this combobox fixes the issue. Probably it might be related.

This means the font is not available when Grid2 is enabled. You must register the font early.
A WeakAura is not a good method to register a font to be used by another addons, they are loaded later in the addons load&enable process.

Try out 2.8.11-beta version. Report back if this version fixed the issue.

Note for future reference:
Strange thing. Some fonts are not displayed on login if :SetFontObject() is used to assign some default font settings to the font string. It seems a different text must be assigned to the font string to "unstuck" the widget (calling SetText() twice and with different texts).
