2. New font is bad - explain why it is fail:

Font is fail because it looks like crap both in style and form. New players won't think " hey it sucks but i couldn't read the old one" They will just think "hey it sucks".

Oldfont worked fine, with some complaints, but newfont is horrid and chooses function while ignoring form completely.

We have another forced change with no option to use the old one.

The font is more pervasive and affects more aspects of gameplay than nearly any other single attribute of eve. It wasn't given care, and was sloshed out half-assed. For a game that focuses so much on keeping things high quality, the newfont is crapfont. It's like a rabid monkey shat all over the beautiful ships, nebulaes, and yes, even my *spreadsheets* for the industrial side. The HUD for the combat screen is awful now. words don't fit into designated fields, or they're made so small at 90% that you can't read them.

Just looks like they threw some **** at the wall and hoped it would stick....

2. New font is bad - explain why it is fail:

Wastes Screen Realestate, and our only option for getting anything close to what we had is to shrink the entire ui.

1. New font is good - explain why you like it

I didn't like it at first, but thanks to the UI scaling, I set it to 90% and now I like it. Feels close enough to the old one at 90% for me.

1. New font is Good

It's easier to read and easier to differentiate. It's also better for making faces :D

1 new font is good, really nice for readability in wh space, with all the codes and abbreviations it's very useful to have easily differentiated letters.
Not perfect but a great improvement, having a different image for each symbol rather than some overlap (like ~ and - )

2. New font is bad - explain why it is fail:
It is uneasy on the eyes, gives headaches.
too wide, bigger than old font so it takes up more screen space unless you scale the entire UI by 90%, the spacing is bad... multiple places in the UI where the font doesn't even fit, like ammo number on turret icon if you have more than 100 ammo loaded, Character online notification character name looks horrible...

but that said, the text is more distinguisable than before

1. New font is way better in all respects. CCP *could* consider a more SciFi looking font in the future, but for now, this new font is way better than the old one. New font + UI scaling = Win on large monitors.

1. More readable, clear and scalable, one of the best little things in the new expansion.
