EVE General Discussion

I actually had to stop playing. The new font gave me a massive headache. I don't know if it's the font itself, or maybe just not used to it, but I couldn't take it anymore and closed the game.

it's a drastic change, but they found the perfect solution with ship spinning even that doesn't impair the gameplay as much as the new font.

just have both possibilities... :)

Mostly i don't complain about a thing, because mostly i will adapt. But serious, give us options, i really hate this font, i tried scaling ui to 90% but thats terrible for me, and font size to 9 well it still hurts.

Isn't there any solution to change the font back ? or make a new system for multiple fonts ? old and new one.
About the rest, it looks so much cooler so keep up the good work

[Mariah carey - all i want for christmas] All i want for christmas is, seriously a new font.

Any change if we go on with complaining about the font, you will change it ? i really don't care if you make a new system with both, but i want the old back.

I'l trade you the old font for a box of Smirnoff ?

New font sucks.

Why do you fix things that arent broken?

Like to jump on the "I don't like this Font" wagon as well.

Why did it change?

I played games 15 years ago that let you select the font you want to see. Why is it impossible for a 2011 MMO to have some options?

First thing I noticed after the patch was the horrible new font; I had a stack of 66 ships and the "66" was so blurry I could not read it; in fact all stack quantity numbers are mostly illegible. Also on headings when there is number followed by a right bracket, the bracket is much too close to the number. So after spending most of my gametime trying to figure out how to reset back to the old font I come to these forums and discover that there is no way to change back to the old font.

I am entirely confused by those posting that the new font is better and clearer; at first I thought they were clearly being sarcastic but I am starting to think maybe for some the new font is actually better, but for me it is so much worse and so completely illegible in many situations that I am at a loss for words.

Don't get me wrong, I think the old font sucked and needed to be replaced, I just find it astonishing that it was replaced with an even worse font.

Sign me up on the petition to change back to the old font. New font is sooo bad, I am looking at an 8 and the top circle is larger than the bottom one

On a related note is there a way to change the font for the forums? It seems to have the same or similar font as is ingame.

I never used the test server and never read any reference to the font being slated for change so this all came as quite a shock to find that they changed it to something so bad without giving the option to change back.

1600x1200 is my resolution of choice and I use a 19" CRT monitor with a flat aperture grille.

Sadly the new font is next to impossible to read for me :( I am really struggling to find a clear way to explain it but something about my dyslexia makes it so i have to work out every word character by character rather than being able to quickly look at the word and recognize it.

Anti-aliased fonts would be handy as it would soften the edges making each character more distinct, if I cant have the old font back or toggle between them, maybe we can add that without much effort. I could also really use some Kern spacing control as many of the characters seem to be stuck together making reading even harder. Again maybe that is something that can be added without lots of overhead.

Overall, font is worse for me :(

The new font is such a step backwards towards the stone age.

I can understand this type of font development when first computers where just invented, but we live 2011 with technology, graphics, interfaces advancing in a very fast pace - each time creating something beautiful and genius, but this font is not it - and totally out of pace.

Looking at this font for the first time I'm thinking "IS THIS A JOKE?"

Font scale in menues, in local window, in right click bookmarks is different everywhere, each time requiring visual re-adjustment.

Font Expert's first priority should be user friendliness and usability - font should scale and be readable in many sizes.

The biggest problem is each area you look at requires visual readjustment, this font is not user friendly - it's hostile.

I think CCP should immediately roll back to old fonts, and let their font expert finish the work on the test server.

I rate this font 1 on a scale of 10.

Old font I'd rate 7 on a scale of 10.
