Brief history of eve's font
CCP pay for "evesans" ( name of the font) to be made.
CCP release font . Chaos ensues. Font complaints flood forums.
CCP response "Get eyes tested, its fine"
Rendering engine tweaked.
Complaints still continue.
CCP ignore protests.
Font variations created by people. eg see examples
CCP get miffed and lock font into res.stuff file and put checks on client so every patch results in corrupt load.
complaints again hit forums
Mephysto - says send us screen shots so we can ignore / look into the problem.
CCP continues to ignore UI and font issues.
Good luck in getting changes - cant see it happen.
Regards
Al Thorr
"You cant polish a turd" - The new rendered font is living proof.

Don't say 16-20 would be too big, its tha player's choice after all.

I used to have a job porting a menu driven PC game to Playstation I & II. It's a harder thing to implemement than you think - each and every menu will have to be messed with to get it right, involving surprising man hours.
However - IT NEEDS DOING. I have "perfect" vision. I have also just bought a 40" LCD TV. I'm also a returning EvE player who's been away for three years. I have to run the game in 1368x768 to be able to play it without straining my eyes lots, which sucks (add in the antialiasing issue and it's a real ball ache that you pay for monthly ).
In this day and age, there are going to be a lot more folk with big screens requiring high rezzes like me appearing every day. I know it's not as simple a thing to do as it sounds, but please CCP, you are going to have to do it sooner or later, and you'd make a lot of people happy by doing it sooner.

There used to be an unofficial fix for this, I was using 14 point Verdana for the main UI font. No major issues with screen layout or the rest.
There is no valid reason for keeping your players from being able to read the screen easily.

Larger sized font, yes please. Maybe it's time for a new, more legible one as well. In descriptions and such, the current body font can easily become a wall of grey-ish things. The content does not exactly jump at you in the way the text of a book might (or might not).
Also, since EVE is larger menu driven, it's not always the easiest thing to quickly find the option you want with the current font.
As for choosing our own font, this could be a very bad idea. As long as the interface is not resolution independent you might break the interface. It's all a bit tight already. Typefaces differ in a plethora of ways, besides the pure aesthetic differences in the letter forms. Base line differences, letter spacing etc all that matters. Maybe if CCP prepared two or three fonts that we could choose between but that should be the limit of choice in this respect.
But larger font sizes, yes please. Preferably a somewhat more legible one (subjective, of course).
Tbh, I kind of miss the serif font showing your current location in the top-left corner of the main screen but that's a more stylistic preference.

I realize it may take a major reworking of the UI, but this game needs a major reworking of the UI anyway. Please make the UI, including the font, scalable. |

I really second that. The font is not easy to read as it is. The shape of the font has a lot to do with it, but also its size.
When EVE Online was first released, the standard resolution of LCD Monitors (for the ones who had one), was 1024x768. The font was still fine then because it was still easily readable at that resolution.
Now however, most players now have bigger screens, with bigger resolutions, and yet the font hasn't changed. For example, I'm running EVE Online on a 22" widescreen monitor at 1680x1050. Needless to say that the font is extremely hard to read, especially when I'm tired.
There is an option to condense it or expand it, but to be honest, that makes the font even harder to read either way. You can also change the font size of the context-menus, but that fixes only a part of the issue.
You should offer at least 3 fonts in EVE:
Monospace (i.e. current font) Serif (i.e. Times New Roman) Sans-serif (i.e. Verdana)
Then, offer at least 3 size presets:
Small Medium Large
You should also be able to change the default font size of windows & UI panels, tooltips, and context-menus separately.
The default font size you choose for Windows & UI Panels should also impact the base size of IGB tags such as H1, H2, and such (therefore affecting size of text in agent mission briefings). For example, if choosing normal as the default size would mean your font would be 10pts in size, then H1 could be +6pts, so 16pts.
For example, one could want very small text in his overview and fleet window so it takes less space, but have a bigger font in information windows or agent mission briefings.

Originally by: Valdarham What's wrong with it? I've not seen anything wrong with the font.
If you're running high resolution, it's very hard to read because:
1. It's too small 2. It's too thin 3. Some characters are too much alike (i.e. O's and zero's, I's and one's, S's and five's, etc...) 4. The shape itself is hard on the eyes, and this is a fact. Squared fonts are not meant to be easy to read.
I have studied desktop publishing in College, and part of our job involves designing and using fonts intensely. We had courses dedicated to fonts and typography in general.
There's a reason why some fonts are always used by default in Windows and other operating systems, it's because they have been proven to be easy to read (scientifically). For example, the on-screen font that is known to be the easiest to read is a sans-serif font: Arial (or Helvetica for its MAC equivalent). Tahoma and Verdana are pretty close behind. The font is designed to be smooth on the eyes, rounded and thickened just enough to be easy to read. The space between letters is just right, the proportion is natural and the shape of numbers and letters are far apart enough so they are not mixed up.
For printed text, it's usually serif fonts that are preferred (such as Times New Roman). The serif itself is what makes it easier to read "fast", because it's easier to differentiate certain letters that way.
The typical printed font size is somewhere between 10pts and 12pts. Smaller is too hard to read on most mediums, and larger takes too much space and is harder for your eyes to track.
The EVE Online font is far from falling in the "easy to read" category, and would actually fall in the "deco font" category. That font should be used for big bolded titles or stylized text, but not for window titles, tooltips and module info text. It's just not natural and not flowing for the eyes.
Some people might have gotten used to the size and shape of this font, and may like its style, but for most players with larger resolutions, it's very tiring to read and should be changed. |

My 45yo eyes love Verdana on my lousy, old monitor. But Good ol' Times New Roman is easier to read on my son's his-res flatscreen.
3 fonts and 3 sizes would be simple enough but would allow nearly every combination of visual acuity and monitor resolution to be accomodated. |

I can't read anything on my 73" Mitsubishi DLP at 1920x1080. I only get around by rote when I'm playing on this display. And it beats playing on the other 17" LCD for many obvious reasons. I don't care so much about the font itself as the ability to go past 12 points. It needs to be adjustable far past this. |

Yes, please.
Just got a new graphics card and was looking for options to make it cry and since there is no AA I turned res up...ooooh pretty and smooth graphics...but to read the largest font at 1920x1440 requires me to be 3 inches from my screen (19" CRT). :(
Um...DEFINITELY needs to be bigger...or can I get a free magnifing glass? :)

Edited by: Judiciary Pag on 25/07/2009 04:45:56 Years ago, when my eyesight was still flawless, I got majorly hooked on EVE. That lasted for a year or two and ended with me having gone through two sets of glasses (I'm up to three now) :p Don't get me wrong - I only blame myself for that, not taking enough breaks and so on - but I do wonder sometimes if it would've helped if EVE had some sane fonts.
Anyway, I just reactivated my account again, and am somewhat shocked (or rather annoyed) to find it's still not possible to get a decent UI font. It was so bad on my 1920x1080 22" screen that I just swapped it with my old 1680x1050 22" one :/
I should say it's not just the text size (which it seems you can now at least modify to some extent by making it less condensed), the shapes seem horrible too, I can up the chat window font size 2 or 3 notches and I still can't read it comfortably.
So theres my vote, please consider making this possible!

I think the fonts are hard coded. CCP payed a big chunk of money to be able to use this font, not realizing at the time how bad it actually was. Though I dearly support a new and better font, if only one that distinguishes between zero's o's b' 8's etc.I won't see it happen soonÖ.

Edited by: Siigari Kitawa on 27/07/2009 09:03:58 To be 100% honest, the font readability is fine. The font itself looks alright to me, I have no problems with it.
Also, this current font is without a doubt the cutest for :D. :3 and o/
Now, onto the dirt:
The font needs to have some of its characters fixed. Like in the OP, there are quite a few characters that are impossible to differentiate, and it's a pain. Fix those letters first, then go from there.
Please post in my thread regarding the original Warp Drive Active font.

The Eve font is symptomatic of the lack of usability consulting.

I recently read a thread that suggested a way to fix the font size, went to change it thinking I had been unnecessarily penalizing myself all along, only to discover that I already had it set to the largest setting >.<
If they are really dead-set on using said font, at least let us make it larger :(

Use Futura or Fixedsys Excelsior
The former would look awesome and the latter would look horrible UI wise, but is the most readable font that we have for computers.
Perhaps allow us to pick our own font source for the chat (not the general UI).
And for gods sake, don't even think about using Arial or ANY of those fonts, they are all horrible.

I want a font that I can read! Make it bloody larger. LARGER!
I have to click a few times on the chat window for that to be readable - but at least that is fixable! Arial 10 is pushing it a little regarding readability. With LCD display, you want to be running at native for best text contrast. But that's bloody 1920x1080 making the text tiny - even on a 32"!!. Or 1280x1024 on a 19" is insanity!
I want Arial 10, Arial 12, Arial 14 and Arial 16 selectable for interface. Heck, all of UI.
The original post's problem is also caused by font being too darn small.
There would also be less confusion in 0.0 regarding gates if all the names were lower case. You know,
I,1 O,0 5,S 6,G 8,B vs. i,1 o,0 5,s 6,g 8,b
But for that to be readable, selectable font size is vitally important.
If some developer doesn't want to allow changeable font size, his coding editor needs to be changed to white on black with point 8 font immediately!!
PS. The website has a tiny font too, but at least one can change that with a modern browser

I would join large screen camp and vote for an increase of font. I have got 120-140dpi notebook 17" screen. native res is 1920x1200. I must play 1024x768, otherwise I would go blind soon.
I have contacted guys through petition, but been told to go in dev forum.
I hope more people join this petition and developers will do anything with that. Time passes by and everybody has got cheap 19" + LCD. It will not last long and there will be standart 22" + screens.
Basically, this game is unplayable @ resolution higher than 1280x1024 (12 size wide font and large screen).

Playing at 1680x1050 here, which I assume is becoming the norm. There is an enormous amount of information on screen that has to be left onscreen to play this game. The current font is not easy on the eyes. I have seen contract scams that specifically take advantage of the font in this game. That is a pretty good indication that the font needs work. Please provide choice in the for of font selection and larger size selection range.
Thanks

Edited by: Clintus on 12/09/2009 16:21:14 I recently decided I would like to play EVE again and re-enabled my account for a month. I attend the local python programmers meet-ups, and every once in a while EVE comes up. Originally, I played on one of my laptops. Sadly, I cannot read any of the text in the game on my current setup. My situation is fairly different from most people, however I have played a lot of MMOs and games in general on this setup. This is the only one so far I have had this problem with.
My setup is a 60" HD TV running slightly less than 1920x1080 for overscan reasons. I don't even have this problem with really old games. It's only EVE.
My vision has been tested previously above normal(20/15). Most people have trouble reading things at the distances I can. The eve font is nowhere near legible on my setup.
As a developer myself, I am going to call out laziness in the dev team, or possibly graphics content team. This is not a game mechanics need to change complaint, its a "the interface sucks" complaint. If people were complaining about something being to hard to do, I could understand the devs ignoring the complaints. I would respect that. However, this issue is a known issue and nothing is being done about it. EDIT: The only other possibility is the dev team is too small, but if you look at every piece of content CCP has(their site, the eve site, etc.) its all at about 10pt. Maybe they just have an idiot designer.
I will not continue to pay for something I cannot play. I will be canceling my account, and probably not return. If the devs put a ETA on this that isn't too far out within the next 2 weeks I may remain an EVE customer, otherwise I am going to voice to anyone who mentions EVE about how CCP drops the ball on something so small, but critical.

Ok I have to add my own request as well. The wife and I have been playing off and on since the beta. We reactivated our old accounts from 2005 just this month, as 12 of us from my website/forum have all gotten together to play, plus my wife and our roommate and a few others. The biggest complaint I have about the game (the ONLY complaint really) is the font size.
Yeah, we can change the font size in chat, but the UI font are just too darn small. Wife and I and roommate all have 1680x1050 22" widescreens. 12 point expanded font barely makes anything more readable. Every single night, all 3 of us, as well as most of our forum friends have eyestrain headaches from trying to read the $#@# font in the UI windows.
Moving up to 24" or larger will only make the UI font smaller, which means more headaches. We are all 4-eyed nerds who wear glasses so there's not much more we can do except take a lot of tylenol and limit our playing time.
Please CCP, you made this game when CRT monitors and 1024x768 resolution was the king, but this is 7+ years later and almost everyone now has 19" or larger widescreen, which means incredibly hard to read tiny font.
PLEASE, PLEASE fix this at some point. Please. This is such a great game, and keeps getting better and better. There's a reason why my wife and I have begun playing again for the FIFTH time since beta. But the font...please.

I play on a 24" at 1900x1200 and although I can read it, the text is truly tiny and painful. The UI in Eve is one of the game's worst points but the fonts should be trivial to fix (unless the devs did something really stupid, like hard code the font sizes in several different places or, even worse, make the layouting engine not able to scale.)

Really appreciate anything that CSMs can do to put this topic on the front burner. Eve is such a pretty game overall, the font is the single ugliest thing in it. Why-o-why canĆt we just have a simple, elegant, readable font? Is it really asking so much???

Edited by: Mara Rinn on 18/11/2009 01:30:57 I'd love a font something like "Twenty-One" or "Abtechia". Though it would want to support the full gamut of European alphabets, including punctuation and numbers.

The font changed in 2006, I know because I quit playing in 2006 due in part to the font. I had a 1400x1050 screen and it was just really hard to read. I started playing again when I got a new monitor, and it's been ok. Maybe they tweaked the font a bit in the meantime, I don't know.
Anyway, the font is not that great. There are many commercial fonts that look very modern and are also easy to read.
Frutiger Next is one. - - - -- - - - -- - - - -- - - - Little known fact: 95% of DS's signatures have nothing to do with EVE. |

With all the issues regarding gameplay forming a proactive and empowering community to EvE Online, this font issue - no matter how many times it has been brought up over a lengthy period of time - is perhaps the most crucial CCP is going to face in any foreseeable future.
Hell, let players tweak the font system in the SiSi client and provide you with a plethora of suggestions that you can choose from. I promise EvE a load of publicity in the acdemic and professional service design publications for such a prosumerism/produsage-oriented approach towards typology as well as visual and usability design.
Apart from not losing customers because you'd make the game better (and less hurting for the eyes), you might gain some lost customers back if you again send those 5d free game time invites to unsubscribed customers and tell them that this issue has been fixed (or at least changed with the aim of fixing it).
The font/readability issue is not one that requires work without generating revenue - in fact, I dare say it is quite the contrary.
Thank you for making this change yesterday.

I also have a problem reading it at 1920x1080 on my 42" LCD. All the lower non native resolutions have a blurred degraded look to them. 1152 is the next best resolution and it still looks horrid(except for the fonts which i can then read). I've wondered if I could trick Eve into using a different font. Either change the font file in Windows or perhaps somehow inject a different font...Similar to how people do graphics model changes in other MMOs, put an uncompressed file in a certain folder etc.

A game that's as text-driven as EVE should really have far more font options than those currently available. Choosing between a small list of serif and sans-serif fonts, and being able to set the text size of individual windows or the game universally would help alot.
I have trouble reading some of the text, and my vision is quite good. My father (who plays) complains quite a bit about having trouble reading things.

I am a relatively new player and I enjoy EVE a lot, however one Issue is bothering me a lot:
I play EVE in 1920 X 1200 resolution and the fonts in the game are absolutely tiny and I really have to strain my eyes to read them. I did find the way to increase the fonts in the chat and also chose the "expanded" font width, but the fonts that are not in the chat or context menu are still very small and hard to read.
I tried to find a way to increase the fonts in wiki.eveonline.com and found this CSM issue: http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/UI_Font_Issues_%28CSM%29 Which had a link to this thread.
I also noticed that according to that page it seems like the issue has been raised back in 2008 and the CSM still didn't vote on it. Anyone knows why?

I completly agree! This is by far my bigest gripe with the EVE client.
I would hav ethought the launch of Dominion update would have been a great time to work it in. They alreay cleaned up a bunch of UI things like fleet control eve-mail etc. Would it have been too much to fix the font problem while at it?
Do developers read these threads? are we just waisting time complaining here or is there soma chance that someone that can fix this will see it and do something.

LOL Oops; wrong quote. I wanted to quote the player that said: "I'd imagine this is less difficult than wormholes" or something similar.
LARGER TEXT FONT OPTION, pretty please. You would think this could be addressed rather easily and quickly. OVER a year I have repeatedly asked for the text (fonts) to be upgraded (option for larger font size most needed), these old eyes (even with newly prescribed glasses) can't see some of the text (esp. the map features).
Do you (CCP) see that players need more font features!!! Please give us the font options and include LARGER TEXT.

But I was thinking - why are so many people reading and supporting this idea.
Then I open the post and again was surprised to see the idea post so simple and as I read it I laughed.
Talk about nailing it on the head. I nominate this thread for the all time simplest yet profound use of the english language - a few letters and the man spoke volumes! NICE!

Is there a chance this most valuable staff member has been sitting idle eating donuts waiting to be given the job of fixing the most important issue in the game?

This is SO small, but SO IMPORTANT! I can't tell you how many people I've talked to think this is SO RIDICULOUS, and that nothing has been done about it for SO LONG.
This is actually one on my primary agenda as a CSM this term, along with ability to further increase EVE Font size: http://www.cinoricsm.com/forums/index.php?topic=9.0
These types of little things are exactly what my campaign for CSM5 is all about, to "Fix the Little Things First!" Hone, tighten, improve, polish... make more efficient the current gameplay as it is, before implementing more huge features that can only continue to complicate the gameplay. Even just 5 little things like this combine to create a synergy that vastly improves your daily EVE experience.
If you value giving priority to little fixes like this, vote for Cinori Aluben. My priority is that CCP make these "Little Things" a priority. As such small items wouldn't require heavy coding time, devoting dev time to them is solely a matter of prioritization, which the CSM will have an active part in now.

They paid to create a brand new font of a small size, and ended up with that illegible mess?
Pointless re-invention of the wheel, when there are already fonts out there that do the job much better, that can be freely used (proggyfonts.com). Dev time could have been better spent elsewhere.

I don't know why they didn't do something in this case. There are a lot of players who would play more then they had bigger fonts, but nothing moves. I had a brake in Eve and wanted to play again, now i see why i lost the fun for this game, i try but it's realy hard to read on res 1920x1080 "25. I can go to an orthopedic surgeon when i play this game 2 years, when i can sue them and they must change the fontsize :).

Edited by: Mitchell Hagen on 26/06/2010 05:39:12 There is a problem with creating a new font. The EVE font supports a wide range of Unicode characters, and creating an all-new font would require a lot of work.
So I think the fixes should be: 1. Edit those characters in the existing fonts that look too similar. 1, I, l, |, O, 0, etc. The Eve fonts are sans-serif fonts, but that should not be an impediment to adding a few serifs to an otherwise sans-serif font if it improves readability. 2. When creating a new larger font, there is no need to create a new font from scratch. Just scale up an existing font instead. The result may be a little blocky but it would do the job until a better font was created.

HTFU everyone, do you want this game to become Hello Kitty Online?
"More readable fonts plz!", no way. Veterans of this game succeeded with the fonts as they are, and it is just a case of you not wanting to adapt, silly spoiled carebears. So what if you ruin your eyesight, its a worthy sacrifice for CCP and EVE.
On a serious note. Another of braindead obvious issues that must be fixed ASAP. Though depending on coding it might not be as simple as it could be expected.

Edited by: Vidar Kentoran on 28/06/2010 18:20:09 It's pretty lame that EVE doesn't have a full selectable and resizable font interface with OS font choices plus the ability for knowledgeable users to add their own fonts.
It's _really, unbelievably_ embarrassing that this game came out in 2003 and 7 years have passed with no change to fonts other than REMOVING the ability for users to use their own, when that should've been a standard feature to start with!
If I was a UI developer on this game, I would be completely and totally ashamed of this lack and it would be the #1, first thing I would fix. You see it every time you login. This is basic, UI 101, baseline expectations stuff.
There's no need to build new custom fonts to fix this issue.

Even if you could have a window scale slider from 100% normal size to 200% normal size... then you wouldn't get parts of characters falling between pixels, (like 'n' looking like 'r' and 'li' like 'll' or even just 'l' in some cases,) and you can see it fine on higher res screens. If the windows are drawn with an api which uses matrix transformations (Pretty much every good graphics api known to mankind) Then it shouldn't be that hard at all.
This isn't real code, but something along the lines of: SomeEveForm.MatrixTransformation.Scale = Settings.Graphics.WindowScale Draw stuff Mess about with some mouse click code bobs your uncle!
Right, there you go. Some free thought. Please use the money we give you as players to make the game more playable. It's in you're own interests.

They could just pick a better one, or give us samples and conduct a poll as to which should replace the current font. :-D But yeaH, CCP needs to FIX IT!!!! Little things like this are exactly the kinds of things they need to work on between expansions.
Because there is a huge difference between 1-LEO and L-E01 :-D (actual systems, maybe-maybe not. But there definitely are countless real examples of why the font stinks.)

Just adding to this discussion, CSM minutes aside. I've failed to sign up three friends because they took one look at the font, asked how to change it, and when told they can't change the font face, size, colour, etc their response was, "what bull****" followed by deleting the application.
So there are at least three data points indicating that polished quality would sell better than new content. New content resells to old players. But that is a different issue.

It has been mentioned and discussed and talked about repeatedly for years. Still there isn't a response. I mean hell, the game is literally causing eye strain in its subscription base. Just have like 4 people work on inputing a series of fonts (typeface, color, size), release it on Singularity for 2 months, let us find all the glitches/issues, and port it over.

Amazing that this hasn't been fixed with all the bad word of mouth advertising because of the font.
If only they would fix this my friends might actually like the way this game looks.
As it is all they see is the 1024x768 stretched out on my 24" widescreen with no AA and all because I can't read the font on post-1999 resolutions.
For crimonies sake how hard can this be to do!!??

Edited by: Gailion Jut on 17/09/2010 20:35:08 As for me I'm 46 years old and have to use a laptop to play. The combination of my old eyes (that suffer from perspiopia) and the limited size of my laptop tends to give me severial challanges. Reading the items with: 9,8,6,G,0,O,5,S,and B can be misinterpited. Also puncuation such as: , . ; : ' ". Other font options as well as a better choice of font size would really help out this old grey haired dad. (My eyes after hours of playing Eve).

One could argue, emphatically, that the blind eye turned to the font issues detailed here is a rabid, seething wound, an insult de force to all the CCP men and women who have worked so hard to build the fantastic ship graphics** that are so visually stunning at higher resolutions. None of their work is truly enjoyable when accompanied by the optical stench of such small, unreadable characters. This data, these font characters, are absolutely necessary - we can't ignore them, they are the lifeblood of the Eve universe - yet their useability has been compromised by a "conspiracy* of inaction" within the very company that stands the most to gain from a final solution worthy of the fantastic ships that we fly.
... *this is not to say that action has not been taken, just that none of the actions taken have resolved the problem. ... **(and every other object of art in Eve).

How about NOT creating a new font from scratch, but using a Standard font, one that's scalable perhaps? And one that has nice unicode support.
Just use a different one and allow us to resize it to be big!

Since this is obviously pretty low on CCP's to-do list, why not simply use the font from the Russian UI for the English UI as well?
Originally by: Laika Bethari Yes. Fonts from Russian translation look much better for me (the only reason I'm using Russian UI). Unfortunately they keep on translating stuff and I have to use English UI.
I did the same thing after I saw a Russian mate's screenshot. Not only is the plain English text more readable, but imo also looks a lot nicer.
What really scared me was the realization that learning proper Russian will probably be faster than waiting for a fix

I agree the current font sizes in EVE are not sufficient. They are to small.
I would very much agree that they need to be of a font size that will be easyier for the ganers to read.
I also have reading difficulties even with the largest font size currently avaiable in EVE.
Thank You

Eve has no aimbot and it's not on xbox. It's played by old poeple like me who didn't get married when they were thin enough, and thus have the disposable income to buy screens so large that most of the overview and some channels fit on them.
Alas what with years of gaming and, you know; no wife, the eye-sight isn't what it once was. And it was once 'ok'.
So yes; a font I can actualy read at this res would be nice.

Today is the 2 year anniversary of this post.
Anyone with a decent size monitor would at the very least concede that the size of the font is horrible. The ability to customize the displayed font is tantamount to have a successful UI.
The player community has asked for this _longer_ than the shortcut change that was implemented, and requires roughly the same development resources in terms of who would write the code and the code layers that will be impacted.
Please fix this. Please.

This will be my first, literally, post on a game forum ever. What drives me from EVE is the eye strain. I am tested at 20/20 and don't need glasses- but after an hour or two of playing EVE my eyes are sore from the strain.
I have recently returned and am finding new enjoyment in the game but I take issue with anything that causes this amount of eye strain in so short a time. It is unsustainable if I want to keep playing.
Please, CCP, as one of your players I want to let you know that the number one thing I'd like to see come to EVE is custom font.

More fonts? yes, and easily done I would think.
Related: bigger fonts that scale with resolution. I want to be able to read the text whilst playing on my 40" HDTV. Was so disappoint with no font scaling. Had to go back to my 18" LCD.

Oh yes please. I just had to buy a bigger monitor (27" with low res) just to be able to play for more than 30 minutes at a time.
I was also playing the game at launch in 2003 and had to stop after a few months, partly because I could not drive my IRL car anymore. I have 20/20 vision, tested this year.

Yes.
New fonts would be nice, but at least make the current one have some larger options above 13wide. Like 14 and 16. __________________________ Obi-wan only felt that way about Mos Eisley because he'd never played Eve Online |

I would like to be able to play EVE from my HTPC but, even on the lowest resolution setting, the font is pretty much unreadable from my couch.
