Changing Fonts

Hope this is in the right section, as I'm looking for help with an addon.
I recently came across the Morrowind Style Interface Addon. To be precise this one "http://esoui.com/downloads/info1593-MorrowindStyleUI.html#info".

Now to get that to work was no problem. However, the author suggest to use a different font along with it: Pawksickels.
So I downloaded it, put it in the same Add on folder.
Then I went on to download the kingthings execter font, like advised.
I drop the kingthings exeter.ttf to ...\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns\Pawksickles\fonts


Ssomeone in the pawsickle comments posted the following
In the addon's folder I created a folder called "Fonts" where I stuck the .ttf file of the font I wanted to use.
Open Pawksickles.lua and find the lines that say LMP:Register etc etc. Add a new line in the same format with the name of your font and the directory like this:
LMP:Register( 'font', 'fontname', [ [ filepath to font ]] )
To quickly change all of the defaults I opened PawksicklesConfig.lua and used Ctrl+H to quickly replace them all with the name of my own font.




So I opened the pawksickles.lua and added

LMP:Register( 'font', 'Kingthings Exeter', [ [Pawksickles/fonts/kingthings exeter.ttf]] )

as last entry before
CBM:RegisterCallback( 'PAWKSICKLES_FONT_CHANGED', function( ... ) self:SetFont( ... ) end )
CBM:FireCallbacks( 'PAWKSICKLES_LOADED' )

Then I went on to pawksicklesconfig.lua and replaced every
'Univers 67', 'Univers 57', 'Futura Condensed' with 'Kingthings Exeter'
I wanted the bookfonts untouched so I left the others alone (like 'Skyrim Handwritten' and 'Trajan Pro').

Problem is that not a single font changes. I have to add that I'm a noob what things like this concerns. Where went I wrong? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks. Something so obvious and still I missed it.^^ However, this leads to my next problem. I can choose Kingthings Execeter from the in game menu but then not a single letter gets displayed. I guess it's an issue with the font file since I can add other fonts with no problem.
