I have a large, high-end monitor and the text in EVE is very hard for me to read. Partly, I think it's size and kerning. But also possibly font-family. I understand supporting multiple fonts may be beyond the reasonable range of requests, but please do some more user research and see if you can find ways to improve the text rendering some more. My eyes will thank you.

- Q

P.S. the author of this post has 20/20 vision as of their last eye exam and doesn't have this problem in other games or websites.

Scaling the UI is the correct solution to this.

Yeah, I tried that. It helps, but doesn't solve the fundamental typography problem. I think that kerning could help here. Also sub-pixel rendering if they're not already doing that. I'm not sure what other games do to solve the problem.
