There is a UI scaling option on Singularity now - it's very rough around the edges.

I never had a problem with the font style. Only the size, and it's lack of proper scaling. I don't particularly care for the new style. But the size (height specifically) is an improvement when it comes to readability. Unfortunately, it does mean the overview now requires more screen space. At least it is being worked on.

what we really NEED is OPTIONS

I want the new font, but I don't want everyone to BE FORCED to use it.

We could do with an improvement over what we currently have, not so sure the one on the test server is what I'd WANT to have though. There's a difference between wanting something better and agreeing to the replacement.

Some players really should get glasses (or monocles), but I'll deal with the new font P

Dont care either way. As long as i can read it.

People who cares :

Market overlords
Science and Industry overlords

And thats about sums it.

Others dont really care.. i guess.

Yes, EVE has needed a new font for a long time. EVE has also needed UI scalability for a long time. I'm not too keen on the EVE Neue font, but it's a damn sight better than the existing one: we can finally differentiate between 8, S, B, 5, and 6.

We need a new font but not one that looks like it's 1990. The new font is so ugly I PUKE all over my screen and cant see ****! And I tought "Is that a O or a 0?" was bad, now its "Is that a veldspar or a part of my dinner?". Why so hard to put a decent font in game, like the one used on the forums?

I don't mind the new font (and I recognise the need for it), but I'd really like to have the option to reduce the text size in the UI to something approaching the current font size on TQ, otherwise I won't be able to see my ship at all for all the oversized windows...

The old font has its issues, and I wouldn't mind them reworking a few letters in it (we all know 0OD 5S G&6 8B Il| and so on).

The new font however physically hurts my eyes and makes me want to stab people over the internet.

At first, I was excited to hear about getting a new font, after seeing it I hope we aren't forced to use it. Its readable, but it looks terrible.

When I first looked at the new font I thought it looked like ****, 5 minutes later the TQ font looks awful. It's all about what you're used to really...

And yes, it's needed!

Is it too difficult to let players choose whatever font that exists inside their systems folders?
