Here's how you can set font properties: http://www.esoui.com/forums/showpost...77&postcount=4

Here are predefined fonts:
xml Code:
  1. <GuiXml>
  2.     <String name="MEDIUM_FONT" value="EsoUi/Common/Fonts/Univers57.otf" />
  3.     <String name="BOLD_FONT" value="EsoUi/Common/Fonts/Univers67.otf" />
  4.     <String name="CHAT_FONT" value="EsoUi/Common/Fonts/Univers57.otf" />
  5.     <String name="ANTIQUE_FONT" value="EsoUI/Common/Fonts/ProseAntiquePSMT.otf" />
  6.     <String name="HANDWRITTEN_FONT" value="EsoUI/Common/Fonts/Handwritten_Bold.otf" />
  7.     <String name="STONE_TABLET_FONT" value="EsoUI/Common/Fonts/TrajanPro-Regular.otf" />
  8.     <String name="GAMEPAD_LIGHT_FONT" value="EsoUI/Common/Fonts/FuturaStd-CondensedLight.otf" />
  9.     <String name="GAMEPAD_MEDIUM_FONT" value="EsoUI/Common/Fonts/FuturaStd-Condensed.otf" />
  10.     <String name="GAMEPAD_BOLD_FONT" value="EsoUi/Common/Fonts/FuturaStd-CondensedBold.otf" />

  131.     <Font name="ZoFontBoss" font="$(BOLD_FONT)|12|soft-shadow-thin" />
  132. </GuiXml>

You can use either SetFont("ZoFontGameLarge") or SetFont("$(MEDIUM_FONT)|18|soft-shadow-thin") or SetFont("EsoUi/Common/Fonts/Univers57.otf|18|soft-shadow-thin"), result should be the same.

Simplest way is to create a TopLevelControl, put in a scene fragment, and add that fragment to scenes it should display in. And create all your controls as descendants of the TopLevelControl.
xml Code:
  1. <TopLevelControl name="myAddonWidget" hidden="true">
  2.     <OnInitialized>
  3.         myAddon.initWidget(self)
  4.     </OnInitialized>
  5.     ...
  6. </TopLevelControl>
Lua Code:
  1. myAddon = {}
  2.  
  3. function myAddon.initWidget(control)
  4.     local fragment = ZO_SimpleSceneFragment:New(control)
  5.     HUD_SCENE:AddFragment(fragment)
  6.     HUD_UI_SCENE:AddFragment(fragment)
  7.     SIEGE_BAR_SCENE:AddFragment(fragment)
  8.     ...
  9. end
