I have had some real life issues crop up the past month and haven't been on much. But I was just able to get on and oh my gosh, the overview font is really confusing to read now. Letters are all smashed together, it's very tall and not wide and it hurts my eyes.
I went to overview settings to try to make the font smaller but now the overview boxes are also very small and honestly the smaller font is too small.
So what changed? We've been through two overview font changes and they both sucked. At least the last one was somewhat more readable with the small font option selected, but this one is just an eyesore. Need stuff moved? Push Industries will handle it.

Because space-inefficient fonts displaying extremely important information in an information-dense part of a space-inefficient UI is terrible.
Basically, be thankful you can have a reasonable amount of visible columns in your overview without having it cover far too much screen. A vote for Akirei is a vote for Awesome! |

Aha, I figured out what it is. It got much more narrow and there is less spacing above and below now. The font is VERY narrow now.

I discovered that Eve really is a spaceships game and not just a space-themed version of Excel. Not sure what I think of that.

I joined EVE after the font change so I don't know what the old one looked like, but if was much wider than what we have now it must have looked horrendous.

Imagine a universe where most systems have names like DO6 or YAO.
Now imagine it is essentially impossible to tell the difference between a 6 and a G, or a 0 and a O, and so forth. A vote for Akirei is a vote for Awesome! |

It was even hard to tell between D and O, 8 and B, or S and 5 because square letters are futuristic or something. It was the worst damn font imaginable and it blew my mind when I came back after 4 years to find that they still used it.
Of course, if you live in empire where everything has names then you probably didn't notice it, but for us poor souls in nullsec it was a nightmare. |

I saw this request (remove stargate from stargate overview entries) spring up in the patch feedback thread so I believe this poster is talking about recent changes yes.
EDIT: Of course it might be confusing to simply remove it but some form of abbreviation might help keep them prominent yet readable.
The main issue was the 'broken' font being too wide and making the actual gate names unreadable. Even with it fixed now it would make sense to do something so shorter columns would still show the stargate name rather than clipping the important info (stargate... ) (a¦á_a¦â) ~ http://getoutnastyface.blogspot.com/ ~ (a¦á_a¦â) |

After the last overview change the font seems a lot smaller an harder to read for me to. Small font is hard to read, larger font (in overview settings) is way to big.
I think I can get used to the smaller stuff.... but it did change. If I remember this thread when I get back home, Ill post a screen |

Hold on uploading another image. Note this is the default 100% scaling ui.
http://siigarikitawa.com/images/newoverview2.jpg (small font) LOOK AT THOSE NINES
http://siigarikitawa.com/images/newoverview3.jpg (large font) WAY TOO LARGE (vertically)
CLEARLY you can see the numbers are much more narrow than my previous overview font, and it has the spacing above and below the characters is reduced versus my previous overview.

Being honest, I don't know which change did it, but I seem to fit a few less characters across my overview than before the font change months ago. This combined with (for me) for example lots of new Faction Warfare plexes on overview can make finding Stargates a lot harder.
Name column | Type |
Serpentis Port.. | Beacon | Gallente Major | Beacon | Stargate (Villo... | Stargate (G.. | Stargate (Hey... | Stargate (G.. | Gallente Minor | Beacon |
appears to be much more common and more apparent now forcing me to widen the Name column wider than it used to be. I'm not placing blame directly on any change but rather hoping you'll possibly look into a change to make the stargate name a lot more visable and easily identifiable. Thanks. |

Yes, it is indeed narrower and wastes less space.
Absolutely wonderful little tweak, that actually allowed more information in a smaller overview window - great job <3

No it hurts my eyes and makes it harder to read. What was wrong with the last font? IDEA: Make a wide/narrow selection for players to choose from.
Also I don't like how adjusting the overview columns works now, the column contents won't update till you release the overview spacing guides at the top. Need stuff moved?

They have just made the glyphs 1 pixel taller in the right places, making the text look, read and scale better.
New large has the same pixel width and overview line height than the old regular (taking same space) but appears bigger, clever way to improve usability for those who prefer bigger text.
Same adjustment also makes the new small version massively better than the old small one.
I hope you get used to it, because most people appreciate this change.
Big up UI font team! |

I wasn't even happy about the last font, but this one is worse. I had to play with the smaller sized font to make it look bearable, and now we get another downgrade.

I am not a fan of the new font either, overall it feels like a decrease in legibility with more effort now required to scan/read text.
I have found it easier to read though by reducing contrast in the UI so its not a pure white on dark black, I'm now using a charcoal grey. |

Why do we need such long descriptions for every overview line in addition to the symbols?
I think it would be pretty sweet to have an option to disable the prefixes for everything with a unique symbol to save overview space. For instance, instead of Planet I; Planet II; Planet III, it would just be I, II, III. Most things are easily identified by their symbol directly before it so in a lot of cases the full name is rather redundant.
Maybe a 'compact' overview is in order, but I understand holding off if it's currently being redesigned anyway. |

I wish mine looked like that.
I have 20 / 20 vision and I like high resolutions and very small fonts. In EVE I only increased the font size on some chat windows.
I play at 2560x1440 and for me the new font looks like each character was cut out one by one by a 3 year old.
And yes, I tried the UI scaling thing to all available options. The UI scales, but the font always looks really bad.
I'll post a screenshot when I get home.
Am I missing a hidden setting somewhere?
EDIT: Just like to mention that I pratically didn't play EVE for the last 3 years, and I was shocked when I saw the new font. I seriously thought something was wrong with EVE's resolution or my graphics card. |

I think I found out what is wrong.
@ 2560 x 1440 and UI scaling @ 100%
With FULL SCREEN setting I get this: http://i44.tinypic.com/5wwh2r.jpg Notice that fonts and the UI itself looks a bit off.
With FIXED WINDOW setting: http://i42.tinypic.com/rruw08.jpg I get this crisp and perfect fonts and UI.
Is it a driver setting? Or is it the game engine that does this? I am running an AMD 6970 |

Does it actually look like this in the game or did those jpeg images get "blurred" because the quality wasn't set to perfect 10?

There is nothing wrong with the font, not in game or in your screenshot.
If there was, you should file a bug report and not whine on the forums.
Just look at H3llb0und's screenshot, that is what a real problem looks like. There is a definite scaling issue. |

I saved the jpegs with maximum quality in Photoshop. Tinypic might have compressed the images. but the main thing here is the fonts and the UI lines, and they look like this in game.
On the second screenshot with the fixed window setting the UI and the fonts look perfect for me. |

In history I have experienced corrupted graphics with certain resolutions while the card has been working mostly fine in some others. All I say really that this is possible so don't spend all your efforts trying to find software solution if one doesn't seem to be found.
I have even had very old graphics card which managed to open one random game perfectly fine but all fonts looked like Chinese hieroglyphs and half of them were missing :) Anything is possible.

I'm sorry, but I didn't want to create another thread for this. And I actually thought you were having a similar problem to mine.
The font itself is very readable, maybe even more than the old one. Can't really compare as I was away from the game for a while.
It would be great if CCP could give us more choice, like a few font types to choose from, complete control of the font size, kerning, bold not bold, shadow, contour. Like some subtitle players have...
But again, the current font is great. |

The font looks good, but it's way too wide, overview is taking over the screen as it is now.
Mine looks like this right now, I warped to a random belt in a random system just to get the velocity etc showing: http://i.imgur.com/VHjMn.jpg (the quality dropped a bit when I stored it as .jpg, it's not that blurry ingame)
* Font looks nice, the size of letters etc works out really good imho
* The scaling is horrible, you have to fiddle alot with sizing things up/down just to find something that suits your particular resolution, this is major issue, feels like CCP just tried it all on one standard resolution on one PC and settled with that setting. I might have extra issues myself because I play on something unusual like 1600x900 (it just happens to be quite nice when you want to try see 5+ clients at the same time, easy to overlap them without ruining too much quality).
* Spacing on the font is horrible as well. The overview is impossible to not get massively wide. I had to compromise on mine and make name colums a bit smaller than I want, just so it just won't take over the whole damn screen. Grr.
TL;DR I think OP has a point. And the common theme between most people posting complaints, seems to be that it's hard to find a setup/scaling that works good on your particular setup. I.e. the "scaling" isn't very much scaling at all, you have to play with the setting CCP wants, or bust. this is a signature |

The train where issues with font were dealt left the station months ago and was very well handled by CCP Punkturis and her team. There was loads of problems in the start, but the improvements in the end product are something they can be proud of. Even maybe not being 110% perfect the font/scaling is still in state with what almost all players can agree with. You will not find much support to subject of this thread any longer.

I noticed that a few patches/updates/fixes ago, the overview turned on the "Small Font" option on its own.
Try and check if it's selected, and whether or not you like it that way. The settings is somewhere in the Overview Settings; IIRC in the Appearance tab.
Maybe it's turned on, and your "old" behavior is to just have it off.
Can't hurt to check. << THE RABBLE BRIGADE >> |

Katrina, a few posts down I showed pictures of the large font and the small font. They have changed since the new font was instated. Need stuff moved? Push Industries will handle it. Servicing highsec and lowsec - and we do it faster and more reliably than anyone else. Ingame channel: PUSHX |

The new overview font is much more readable, in both sizes. Perhaps you just need to give it more time, or try and play with the ui scaling. |

I still think old font was much better.

CCP can you please include both fonts in next release so player can choose which font to choose ? Old or new, like you did with ship spinning (player can choose ship hangar or captain quarters) |
