please revert the font back to the one on the main server. The current font on test server is strain on your eyes to read and chat screens run together.

In some places the new font looks very nice and others I can hardly read it like on the overview for example. Numbers are especially hard to read.
So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. |

I simply hope that they'll make the charactors a little thicker. They're poorly defined edge-wise in my opinion (nothing should make my eyes water to read).

Edited by: Scyrdein on 21/11/2005 15:03:37 Edited by: Scyrdein on 21/11/2005 15:02:45 The are several new fonts, some of them I like, some not :)
If this is about font that used in chat (for english language) so yes, so small and crowded... it is also used for descriptions and news..

But there is another one thing...
Old one Link
New one Link
So I`d like to see it like that...
Link
Old small readable font for tabs and text (but a bit darker as in the new version) and new one sci-fi like for numbers and headers...

Makes my eyes bleed trying to read chat and overview. Please revert font back to the same as is currentlyon trang server. There is no need to mees with the font. There is more important things to fix or tweak like the over nerf of drones and missles.

CCP. Fire who ever is in charge of doing fonts. Every change is worse then the last.

Edited by: Scyrdein on 23/11/2005 08:36:36 It is not a solution. Actualy I`m quite pleased by dev`s work, but some things are just wrong. So many ppl said that we need a possibility to choice fonts we like. One font for chat, for all languages, possibly for each chat window. That will realy solve a lot of font related problems with eve... I just don`t understand, why not to make a voting? With a pictures representing possible changes in the UI, and choose the best one. A bit later, I`ll post here my pictures just to show my point of view about fonts.
Dev`s pay attention to this problem.

I'd really, really, really love to be able to chose the fonts - or at least use some clear font types like Arial or Courier New.
...or maybe replace everything with Wingdings/Webdings.

Id imagine the font looks nice on whatever resolution/screen size/display the person working with such was using.
However on a good quality 17" CRT playing in window/fullscreen mode at 1152x864 or 1024x768, the font is really nasty. Even at its maximum size it's a strain to read.
Please take a look at it. - - - Eve University Capital Module Shop |

Its just like the last time they tried to change the font... some people will like it, most won't, and they'll have yet another riot on the forums about it. A few days later it will get reverted to the normal font we have now. I don't understand this burning desire they have to change the font every release for no reason.

Unfortunetly that is not about "not liking it". Its about damaging your eyes while reading this new font (maybe not at 800x600 or so ... but who plays at that resolution these days.
The font ist just crap. here the points I noticed: - different spacing between different characters - some characters are out of the print box even (e.g. "1") - No spacing between e.g. "." and "3" and between other character combinations - Font is too thin and setting font width to 1.0 does not change that. - Setting font width to anything else than 0.5 or 1.0 and the font is scaled badly. So it must be a bitmap font.
In case that the bitmap font was choosen to improve gfx performance then they achieved the opposite. The gfx is about 20% slower and that can be seen even at the char-selection screen. (I still hope that they compiled the test patches in debug mode which then could be the reason for the slow-down)
Also the old font has a shadow which makes the white text even readable against bright backgrounds. The new has no shadow.

frankly, a graphic designer deserves to be put up against the wall and shot for this one.
it is unreadable, and actively painful.
perhaps it's CCP's plan to placate the chinese govenment - make the entire planet unable to play for more than 3 hours without painkillers....

On this topic, please file bugreports, stating your gfx subsystem and monitor type, coupled with exactly whats wrong in your opinion with the new unicode font.
Its important you file them this way, rather than here, and state whats wrong rather than, 'I don't like/hate it'.

Sry I havn't noticed that an unreadable font is now called "bug". Why the Devs are always messing up with that ingame font? Maybe they are too bored. Nobody knows. The current font on tranquility is and will be the best choice. No stupid font experiments pls. I promise this new font is going to be reverted to the old one if it's ever going live.

When you say you made a report to the GM do you mean that you petitioned it? if so then you need to bug report it using http://bugs.eve-online.com, you rarely get any feedback/responce to them but we are reliably informed that the BHs look at every single one of them and pass them on to the devs.
Regarding the font, yeah it isnt nearly as nice as the current TQ font, however I don't find it totaly unreadable, there are instances where I find it hard to differentiate between two characters and I can no longer read the smallest size chat text, however it has been stated that the font needs to be changed to provide support for UNICODE which will allow EVE to progress into new languages and cultures, which IMO can only be a good thing.

I like to have a possibility to change the color of the font. White letters on black background is a huge strain for my eyes.

Who ever picked that font should be FIRED. It runs together making it hard to read and it's been dimed down making it hard to see. It makes my eyes hirt to to try to read it. And with the lack of player control over font such as type, color, brightness and size, we stuck with crap we can't make out.

As a new player, I have not seen the old font.
I don't really mind the font, except that certain characters look very much like others and they all link together too much.
For example, 6 and & look nearly exactly the same. This doesn't come up too often, but as a newbie, seeing a skill that says 9D 15H but looks like 90 15H is confusing as anything. Is that 9015 hours? or 90 days and 15 hours? Oh, that's 9 days?!
Another example is something like 10km, which I can't tell if it's 1.0km or 10km. Quite significant when choosing a weapon as well as orbit range.

The new font is horrible. I am about 2 days from cancelling my sub at this rate, I am not gonna sit and strain my eyes so they can have unicode diversity the way I am. I have felt zero love from this "free content" as they decided to slant it once the servers wouldn't stay up so far but this font is just rediculous. - Chronus "the Man"

I totally agree...even with the wide setting it sucks.

I detest the new font as well - it's barely readable on my (modern LCD) screen and it has awful spacing, kerning, descender and stroking issues.
If you feel the same please go to bugs.eve-online.com/newbugreport.asp and vent your displeasure. It's the only way to get through to CCP about the importance of a legible font in a game like this.
