While i disagree with the OP in regards to reverting to the old font, I would have to sasy that more work needs to be done with choosing appropriate font sizing for the context of the individual UI elements. The overview and market information grids are terribad, there is a text wrapping problem with items in containers/hangars/cargohold, and the user has no control except for the context menu sizes.
Personally, I think the context menu size setting should drive the text in many of the other UI elements...

I admit there was a problem for some folks because the old font was difficult for them to read.

Instead of fixing the problem by providing a larger size of the existing font that people could read more easily IF THEY CHOSE TO,

You instead replace the great old font, with an ugly, horrendous piece of craapola.


You didn't fix the problem, you simply traded it for a new one.


I don't understand. You spend so much time and effort to make EVE such a BEAUTIFUL game, then you splatter this kindergarten grafitti font all over the beauty.


You have to read the font to do almost EVERYTHING in the game, and it overshadows and pisses on all the hard work you've done to beautify the game.


It's like painting crude glasses and a moustache on the Mona Lisa for crissakes!

REVERT TO THE OLD FONT

I had just resubbed my second account, and was on the verge of resubbing my 3rd industrial alt. Now there's no point. I can't bring myself to stare at the screen enough to do anything industrial. If it isn't fixed, the 2nd account will lapse, and I will probably go to paying for my first account with isk -- if i can stomach the font enough to pvp where it's less intrusive.

REVERT TO THE OLD FONT

Learn your lesson from Ship-Spinning, and now with the fonts, and don't take stuff away that's worked for 8+ years. Provide the option to do something new, but allow us to keep the old. Learn your lessons from the half-assed turret icons, and apply it to the half-assed new font.

REVERT TO THE OLD FONT

Leave the new font as an option for folks that don't like the old one if you want, but don't remove the old font!


NO new font are ok UI scaling need fix.

No, the new font is fine. The font and the scaling just need a little tweaking.

If CCP implements an option to choose the font, I'm okay with that. But please for the love of all that is holy, don't force the horrible old font back on us! Shocked

No.

The new font is much better.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

New font is ok, it's the lowercase letters that are the problem - put it back into capitals please.

New font is great, get some glasses if you have trouble reading it, really.

The only problems are . and , way too small and the opacity is too low on them.

/sigh

People aren't complaining coz they can't read it, they are complaining because it asceticlly unpleasant.

The badly spaced lowercase letters make it look like a bad dos program. I have no issues reading either font but as it is now I can't stand to look at - it has ruined the feel of the UI.

I like the new font, personally.

I guess I understand your disposition with it. Thin fonts aren't for everyone. I like Segoe UI light so this new eve font is good for me too. But to each his own. Perhaps they might try offering a few different font selections that people can choose from.

-1, I like the new font, a bit strange at first but already getting used to it.
