Oh god, wish I'd never looked at that. :' (

And nothing about ammo/item counts in patch notes...

Don`t get me started on how much i miss the old font. It looked hi-tech at least and right in place in EvE, new one is...well...lets face it, completely out of place.

We should just wait fr someone to figure how to use the old font again, since CCP called us "6%", no info on anything as usual.
On other hand...what patch notes?

Guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and buy a 16:9.

When I want to watch hdtv and movies I'll watch them on a 52" plasma at 16:9.

When I want to use a computer to display lots of data and play games I'll go with 16:10.

QUOTED for truth, while I am totally for UI scaling, I'd rather it was FONT scaling in UI.

Old font was hi tech, unique look, how about selectable font? Don't bloat entire window, just make text boxes bigger, fonts in text boxes bigger and windows scale up and down to accommodate new text fields.

See how it is done by Apple browser. Can zoom, can enlarge fonts without making pics blurry.

I love you CCP. I hope you love doing your work more than our whining. We love both you and whining

This post sums up why the 'best' work with DCM inc.

I suspect the reason Apple does this is because most images on the internet are in raster format (you can see the pixels!) rather than vector (scales to any size flawlessly).

I'd venture a guess that CCP eventually plans to use all vector graphics in place of their current raster ones, thus having the scaling up looking better in the future. Well, one would expect....

Quoted for CCP love. ♥

Our criticism may be heavy, but never forget we do this because we expect better from you than other game companies, and wish to see it succeed where others have given up. That's saying a lot, and we have a good thing going here.

Took a peek to the latest RC version in SiSi and in my mind the new font is usable with 90% scaling now, but...

Cry It still has very much uniformity issues what comes to font sizes in different places(Fixed now)
Big smile Numbers are not fixed width. (Fixed now)
What?Letter spacing seems to be way too big while using some of the smallest font sizes in chat. (Fixed now)
SmileName list font size doesn't scale down with the chat font and that looks bit odd as the default name list font is such big. (Fixed now)
StraightIt becomes bit grainy on some tool tips (check wallet, balance for example). (Fixed now)
ShockedFeature to lock down windows to their places has been removed due to technical reasons (= new font or scaling killed it). (Fixed now)

However there has been plenty of improvement from the "1st version" and the scaling in general has been really welcome.
I find current status of UI acceptable with the given time and modifications they had to do in such short time, but looking forward
to some finishing touches in the future Roll.


Just wanted to thank about the great work on visually polishing the updated UI. There may still be some odd line breaks here and there, but as a whole font looks and feels like proper tool again.

Now if they could just fix the alignment of the ammo count, the decimal point being hidden by some numbers, and the alignment of the 1 digit.
