Revenge is mine!! Here is a video of CCP Punkturis giggling while taking a video of me as I'm oblivious to how loud I'm singing in the office, which she then promptly released onto the interwebs. I've been waiting for close to a year to unleash my vengeance and now it tastes so sweet!


Lies!

That's me trying to chase PrismX down so I can shut him up. He never shuts up Ugh

Never a dull moment, always a pleasure to see what's happening.

Can't wait to have the faster, easy read font, and see CCP go from strength to strength.

This will help with the local channel chat box comments, and help me effect other players better too.

Thanx.

Getting you on your feet.

So you've further to fall.

New font looks absolutely terrible. Worst part of this patch. It is really a shame that CCP is refusing to listen to their customers on this. Thousands have posted that they hate this new font yet CCP Punkturis continues to think he is awesome.

This font is not excellence.

Totally agree. This font is badly designed and the former smaller font gave a much better look and feel. Especially in chat the font looks totally crap. I am wondering: is CCP blind not to realize and fix this?

Hated B8& etc issues and loved that this was being addressed. That said, why apply it beyond its scope? My eyes hurt. The only area where this was an issue (99.231%) was in the chat windows. If this change applied solely to chat windows I'd be over the moon. As it is I'm now desperate for options to 1. Switch between Proper case and UPPER CASE, 2. Change the font of all non-chat text... :( Loving all other elements of the deployment that I've had a chance to experience thus far.

I understand the reasoning behind it, but i really dislike the new font. My eyes are literally sore. Please give us an options of displaying it in the old or new style, or an option to choose a font that WE like.

Told you before launch, told you on test forums, telling you again now. The new font is not a good choice. Only in bold does it look decent (barely). Of the over 50,000 unique fonts, you chose the one that looks like old typewriter or dot matrix print. Plain old Arial, or Ventura would have been far better. Maybe even Avante.

Or hey!! Here is a thought, give us multiple fonts, and let us chose!!!

Nice, but I have some questions:

  1. Will it be possible to change the font size of ESC menu?
  2. Will it be possible to change the font size of the mission descriptions?
  3. Will it be possible to change the font size of the local player list (player names)?
  4. Will it be possible to change the font size on the ship fitting window?
  5. Will it be possible to change the font size in the item description windows?
  6. Will it be possible to change the font size in the PI, S&I, and market screens?
  7. Why not allow us to use our own favorite font? Most of the day I stare at DejaVu Sans Mono and I really like that font (the whole font family actually).


Nope, you'll only be able to change the size of the context menu, as before.


And you thought this was a good idea?

The default size on my screen is now too large... the text eats up massive amounts of space all over my screen now, the worst offender being the market window. The new larger font greatly reduces the amount of information viewable in the same screen real estate than the previous font.

The ability to select a smaller font size for the overview is a start, but you need to make the default font size adjustable globally, not just the context menus and the overview.

And no, I don't want to scale the whole UI, just the base font size.

Terrible new font. While it is more "readable" it looses alot of the style that is EVE Online. I feel like everything is gigantic. Scaling the UI to 90% makes everything much to small.

Yes I can make out the chars 6G& now, but now I have lines of texts such as in the market, chat tabs, etc where the text is much too large for the space provided. I think if the height of the font were scaled down about 10-20% it'd make things much easier on the eyes.

You know what? At first I thought that the new font lacked this "space-feel" that the old one had. But it kinda grows on me. Now I think that the new font looks great ingame, the readability is greately enhanced and it kinda looks good as well.

I'd only wish that CCP would put a little "air" around some of the text elements. Such as put a little height on top of, and beneath different list-type elements.
For example the training que. It is now so compact that it is difficult to read correctly.


So CCP: Put a little air everywhere and the new font will be a breeze :)
