Yep as the word is out that the size wont change back to any smaller and old font is goners for good... Trying to adapt.

Did quick dirty test on sisi and compared it to current ui. Images were not exactly 1/1 but I have general feeling how my ui will look like after the release.

- Log will be gone as there is no room to keep it open
- Cargo window will have only 3 visible slots instead of 6.
- Local will show about 3 names instead of 6 and chat area is pretty much goners (not that it matters much).
- Scanning window is much higher than before.
- All chat windows will be slightly smaller than before and have much less visible text.
- My watchlist has to move somewhere as overview is much more higher and takes the slot. Probably where log used to be.
- Overview gains only 2-3cm width which isn't as bad as I assumed. Viewable are in middle doesn't shrink too much.

I'll live with these changes but only because you won't give option not to. Would be happier sticking with old font. Nuff said.

This pisses me off more than Incarna, The Door and Nex combined.

The new font may not be perfect, It's still a lot better than the old one.

But you are right, better to fix the broken parts while it's still on the testserver.

Yea... thankfully I seem to be part of the minority this time and ccp can actually get away with this :)
