UI Scaling is still in progress but it would be great to get some feedback on it or if you notice any issues please post here Smile

Well...
so far, standard UI font seems way to big...
but when you change it to smaller, it gets allmost unreadable (is that a word?)
chats are kinda oke with small UI, but rightclick in space text etc is to small/no smooth text

Yeah, the lowest percentage for UI scaling makes the font too small and nigh unreadable.

yeah the smaller scaling was mostly for people who have low resolution monitors and want to fit more windows on their screens when they're in fleet fights or other occasions where they might want to fit many windows

Might be True...

But I run an 1920 resolution, and with the standard UI the text (and textboxes) are way to big.
You lose total overview on screen.. with smaller UI the overview (overview on screen that is, not battle overview :D) is oke with 1920, but as said text unreadable

As the labels mean nothing at the moment I can give you the following feedback and remember I’m an OAP so eyesight may be a bit wanting lol.

Running a 24” screen at 1920 * 1200

At the first setting the text is really small in just about any situation but still manages to overlap and scrunch up in the [Esc] menu when viewed from the log in screen. The left side menus are the worst.

When logged in I changed it to the second label and this made the text much more readable but it also caused the text labels on some icons in the station view window to run out of space. For instance I have a container called ‘Ship Fittings High Slot’ and the icon displays ‘Ship Fittings’ and nothing else.

It seems the step up in size makes the small text the correct size but some text that is slightly larger becomes to large for the space provided. It looks like some text is displayed in a sort of fixed width and some in proportional text.

Otherwise not bad.

there's an option in the overview settings to use smaller font in the overview (was added after feedback in the font issues thread)

With "Overview" I kinda mean, the overview of text in my windows (chat windows etc)
With standard UI only a few lines of text fit in a chatwindow...

the options are (depending on your resolution)
90%
100%
110%
125%
150%

but if you could provide screenshots with the bugs you find, it would be much appreciated Smile

FPS moniter line does not scale down correctly line appers outside the box.
UI scaling from 90% to 100 broke rendering for me when I tryed to undock. redocking did not fix it. was seated at the time.
Please add the small text option to the combat log please
90% really pushes the font together.

If i dont know something about EVE. I check https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/ISK_The_Guide

See you around the universe.

well you should make it so that you can have the option of changing the UI to your personal preferance. Some people like it some like the one before

The Power/CPU Bars in the fitting window don't re-render at proper scale if you change to a different scale. Closing then opening the window does not reset them either. If you can't replicate it, try changing scale with the fitting window already open.

1. Can I get the "expanded font width" back please? I'm used to reading fonts with a "normal width" other than this weird narrowness of EVE fonts.

2. The font needs to be improved to scale better at smaller font sizes...

3. The font is jagged, or having "disappeared" corners where the pixels at the corners appear to be too faint and makes it look like it has a broken line instead of a curve (I can't explain it well)

It's great that substantial UI text blocks are finally readable. It would be nice if it was slightly more granular, - user specified % or similar in order to customize for a player's specific screen & resolution.


Small issue with Agent portrait with large scaling option selected:
