I like the new font.

I went through the first ~6 pages earlier with a simple +1 for every like and -1 for every dislike and 0 movement for those in the middle.

The count was up to +48 or so when I got bored.

Besides.. font won't get changed back. :-)

If all of you do not like the new font, perhaps you should shoot the Jita statue in protest. Its a totally original idea, I swear!

I can tell you are really upset, and offer condolences for that, but I really don't see any problem with CCP's response.

Sorry, I think you are kind of alone in your rage.

Please make it a point for me to not notice you again in the future, or I may have to jot your name down in my notebook at the Ministry.

Peace.

As a comparative newcomer!

I love the new font!

It scales well, gives me more room on my monitor with smaller menus, yet is far more easy to read even with the UI at 90% on 1920 x 1024 17in monitor!

Wasted energy :(

Could have easily made an alpha map of a font you'd like.

Like Amarr Sans.

So basically you are arguing that the new font is while useful, just fugly. I can agree with that but now I can tell if you're say the 0rphange and not the Orphange or 5am and not Sam. That is always more important than fugly.

Bonus font nerd rage.

IKEA caused a flap in the graphic design world in 2009 when it changed the typeface used in its catalog from Futura to Verdana, expressing a desire to unify its branding between print and web media. The controversy has been attributed to the perception of Verdana as a symbol of homogeneity in popular typography.[11] Time magazine and the Associated Press ran articles on the controversy including a brief interview with an IKEA representative, focusing on the opinions of typographers and designers.[12] Design and advertising industry-focused publications such as Business Week joined the fray of online posts. The branding critic blog, Brand New, was one of those using the Verdanagate name.[11] The Australian online daily news site Crikey also published an article on the controversy.[13]The Guardian ran an article asking "Ikea is changing its font to Verdana – causing outrage among typomaniacs. Should the rest of us care? Absolutely."[14]The New York Times said the change to Verdana "is so offensive to many because it seems like a slap at the principles of design by a company that has been hailed for its adherence to them."[15]

Can you imagine writing 50,000 words in posts about a game's font?

I can't.

It's already broken. They should shoot the Amarr statue instead.

Oh god damn, another font rage thread.


I was just thinking we needed yet another anonymous scrub who's opinion is of value to no-one to say exactly the same thing that has already been said several times.

Notice how proud he is that he posted sixty three times about how a font violates his human rights or something?

God damb, it's a fairly ugly font but it's more readable and it does what it needs to.

I guess if people are getting a hair up their ass about a damb font as the worst problem there is then things are pretty god damb good.

Even if you are correct in your interpretation of the post. 6% of 960 would mean only 57 detractors. I'll count them up right quick and let you know how far they are off. Will take a few minutes. Please stand by.




Waiting for your list of names.

Should only be counted up to the time when this thread was started though. Some people rage about the font so badly they might even login their alts and make hate posts with them too Roll

edit: Ah, there it is. So you found 57 so far which is 6% of 960 just like CCP said.

This is childish, it really is. Get over yourself, the new font is not nearly as bad as you make it out to be. If it offends your eyes so much that you have to write thousands of words about it, then maybe you need to take a break from forum warrioring. Go jerk off to some Helvetica maybe.

Oh, and you found 57 people in ten pages... thats 57 people in over 200 posts. So, in the first ten pages, a little more than a quarter of possible posters thought negatively about the font. Its entirely possible that they were later swarmed by people supporting the font, until you actually go ahead and count everything, your point means nothing.

OP should have logged onto the test server to stare that the new font for hours to get used to it, like me!

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.
