EVE General Discussion

It's quite readable at pretty much every size unless you're going down to 7pt or smaller, then most fonts aren't readable anyways. The B and the 8 are perfectly distinguishable at 8pt, the 5 and the S are perfectly distinguishable at 8pt. No distinguishing between upper and lower case, just makes it clearer what it is you're reading. The only issue with the font is the zero looks just like the letter O, but other than that, every letter and number is distinguishable from one another.

And it behaves similarly to a fixed width font.

This, TBH. x5

This. Make it happen like you fixed your other screw ups. Frankly this one affects gameplay FAR more than say gawd awful turret icons.... I have to see this crap EVERYWHERE.

Damn promiscus font, she said she would only ever love me! What a tart - she's mine I tell you; I love her more!!!

aye, just do it, no excuses. You made EVE... you can make the font.

The lack of upper and lower case differentiation is bad. There's a reason we have lower-case letters, and that's because they are much easier to read and to distinguish than the upper-case ones. All-caps does not make it clearer what you're reading — it makes it less clear and requires more effort.

As for the letter/number differentiation, ok, fine, maybe. That will come down to the font rendering, but it is still built around the same kind of “consistent base shape” as the old font and is therefore subject to the same issues of losing the defining differences at smaller sizes. The ones mentioned are those that immediately pop out as being particularly risky.

great idea.

I didnt say i couldnt recreate it. I just said that to do so i would end up with distorted icons, a compromise. Also, text in window tabs, ammo counters and various other places becomes too small and horrible to read.

Just swapping to 100% scaling ONLY fixes the icons, but gives me far less space to work with than the old UI hence the overlapping windows here. Also the text becomes even uglier. I for one cant remember a single issue with reading the old font.

There were some legitimate gripes for nullsec system names but fixing a few characters would have been all it took.

Oh, and a final word on ad hom. attacking an attribute of a person that could relate to the argument by definition is no ad hom. For example, how you play the game influences what you think of the game as per me saying you dont undock, hence no ad hom.
Me saying that you are somehow autistic because you are compulsively contrarian isnt an ad hom since again the accusation is relevant to the conclusion i was making.

Legitimate examples of ad homs from wiki:
"What would Mary know about fixing cars? She is a woman."

Now if that was ""What would Mary know about fixing cars? Shes never been near one." that would not be an ad hom and is more akin to what i said to you.

Seriously, i know its hard but its not THAT complicated.

I for one love the new font, I can finally read the text easily \o/

did you even read his post? I'll highlight the parts that make your answer look like an idiot wrote it.
