Font replacing is broken?

I used to have a folder in the WoW folder called “Fonts” - it simply replaced the chat window and mail font into something I can actually see. As of today, the stock, unreadable fonts are back. Is this intentional?

[PSA: I have vision issues severe enough that I can’t legally drive, and glasses won’t fix what’s wrong with my vision.]

I noticed that my entire WoW install got moved into a sub-folder named “_retail_” from where it used to be. Maybe because of that?

EDIT: Yeh see this Blue post: WoW.exe missing after update, unable to launch from launcher - #2 by Zuvykree

Hm, I tried to remove everything from the retail folder and launch it but apparently that retail thing is pretty important. Weird, but that you for pointing that out, I missed that.

Edit; Yeah, very obnoxious that we weren’t alerted to that. I’ll play around with it for a bit.
Edit edit: Success! Moved the font folder into the retail folder. Fixed it up =) Thank you!

Thank you so much. I’m visually impaired as well and I was having a heck of a time trying to do anything since I couldn’t figure out why my font had changed and nothing I could change it to was readable.
