Although yes it's clearer, it has somehow changed the feel of the game, IMO it's not the font so much as the lowercase letters.

In RL I work as an engineer, in engineering documents it is common practice to use all capital letters for clarity. IMO this gives a certain feel which is probably part of what attracted me to UI of EVE - it is familiar and 'Techy' looking. The UI now looks less cool intersteller HUD/Technical manual and more childlike with it's lowercase font all over the place.

BRING BACK CAPS AND THE 'TECH' LOOK PLEASE Evil


This is my biggest complaint about the new fonts: the techy look and feel gets ruined.

They should at least maintain the caps for some labels and the neocom. As I said before, take example from SWTOR. Keep the caps, pls, CCP.

Spacing is kind of weird, true, but at least it now scales up properly.

Would still prefer to have times new roman or arial

Wait. So what are you talking about?

First, you mention fonts, and now you're talking about something that no-one has a problem with? What is that? It can't be the font, since it has been pretty much the most requested change for, oh, the last five years or so. The new one improves readability to a huge degree by offering some actual differentiation between similarly shaped glyphs. Functionality trumps looks.

Seriously, Tippia, stop making so much sense. I find myself liking your every post. Enough already!

hello,


...give them 1-2 month, until the get used to the new font ^^..some cry because of problems and some cry just because of something is new :-)

We have the same scenario at WIS - give them time to like it ^^

Finally its much more readable now...and better for your eyes...

I am not crying, I in my opinion - that I am entitled to voice as a subscriber - feel that new font no matter how legible has changed the look and feel of the UI for the worse.

The new font itself isnt the issue, its the lowercase letters that make it look like a poorly made msdos program. I would prefer it to be all capital letters as before. If you don't agree then fine, but don't make out like I'm some whiny child for putting forward my point of view.

Good day.
