[GUIDE] Mabinogi Font

The frame rate for Mabinogi tends to be low when you're running through Dunbarton or Belvast- especially since there's a large number of players and shops with party names. This increases the amount of text that has to be rendered by the game, making your client slow. CTR+N and CTR+P is useful, hiding the names and party to reduce lag. Noticeably, this makes a huge difference to the frame rate.

DATA FILE LOCATION: ...data\gfx\font\nanumgothicbold.tff

The font I currently use is YDYGO550.tff which has Hangul compatibility. Said to be from KR Mabinogi's client.

To change the font manually, a DATA packer is required.

Bitmap font from Abyss

Mabinogi's engine renders everything as a 3D model. Items in your bag, the bags, UI's, every single text, etc. Currently, the default NA Mabinogi font uses a large font that takes more time to render. Hence the reason why many people choose to mod their game to use a 'bitmap' font that looks small and pixelated.

Using a bitmap font is usually the best choice for better fps. But the font can be changed just for aesthetic purposes.

You can change your game's font through your data folder or through a memory patcher such as Kanan or Abyss.
