What kind of patch is this?

[Yadd of Legends]

I logged in today on Pinco's and got some kind of patch that includes KO2GoPro, MyriadPro and youmurder bb_reg (or something like that). I'd post a screenshot, but I just had to unplug because of a lightning storm. Does anybody know what kind of patch this is?

This is a forum about a game called Ultima Online. I don't know what your problem is, but it sounds bad; with lightning storm and everything!

Pinko's subforum is probably a better place to ask if you are curious.

Well, the first thing I wanted to know from you wise guys was whether this was a patch everybody got, since I don't even think Pinco's does patches anymore, before I started parsing the weird names

Let's not start debating how much better Pinco's looks than the default EC Anyway, back online, I see all those patches are fonts

The PayPal donate button, the "Will work for food" UO equivalent.

Those are fonts, as evidenced by the .ttf (TrueType Font) extension.

Actually, I see they're fonts, just wondering why a patch would update fonts

 

[BeaIank]

Those are true type font files, used to render text on the screen.

 

[Winker]

true type font files, whats the problem? All this fuss over fonts.....Hmmm

Installation trouble for somebody, Pinco was trying to fix it:
Pinco's UI

It's no big deal, but let me try again. Everybody keeps telling me the patch are fonts. Well, that's obvious, I can see that. My question is why should fonts have to be patched in the first place? If nobody has an answer, fine, some of life's unanswered questions must remain mysteries.
Edit: You're right, this is a question I should have posted to Pinco's forum. I falsely assumed Pinco was not active but just checked and see he is. Sorry for the misdirect

From what I understand, Someone was having issues with the existing fonts in the program files, and the creator of the UI was attempting to make sure that the problem wasn't more universal, by providing new, confirmed-functional, copies of the fonts, or new alternate fonts.

Not that big of a deal, just the date makes it suspicious (after all, there are several trojans that use 1 April as a trigger date, going back decades). Some programs have font patches and the like for April Fools jokes as well, though I don't believe that to be the case in this instance.
