Edited by: Tommy Johnson on 10/05/2009 06:50:20 Specifically, the size. I'm on a big LCD TV and there's lots like me. and there's gonna be more and more. The font is too small for the high rezzes I'd really want to run this game in (I have to run in 1368x768 to stop my eyes, which are good, trying to crawl out of their sockets in dismay).
I know this is an old issue, and there'll be a chorus of selfish folk who don't have a problem saying "there's nothing wrong with it" when clearly for a significant (and growing) number THERE IS.

The problem probably is that the game GUI is not designed to handle a change in the font size.
So changing the font size means checking and fixing the entire GUI so it doesnt look completely messed up...
Im just guessing though.

Thats the chat font, not the actual context menu / item descripton / ad infinitum text. Beyond 1280*1024 the text gets very condensed and horrid looking i've found ______________________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

If you look at the existing format and the current font sizes you can plainly see that there is in fact room for the font sizes to be increased. Really all you need to do is enlarge it. you wouldn't even need to enlarge any of boxes they text resides in. there is room.. and seriously this should of been done years ago. this game is all about eye candy and I can't even play it at max res because I can't see a thing on a 50" HD TV. see the problem with that? lol.. It's no fun playing a game and getting a headache from it.
It's one of the main reasons I quit playing for a while. now I have to play the game at a higher res just to be able to see. so I spent thousands of dollars to build a top of the line pc and the game UI gimps my system.
This game is all eye candy and I love it for that. The font issue really needs to be addressed and acknowledged. it's been pushed aside for to long already from my point of view.
I'm sure it's fine for all the people with average systems who can't run it at max and I'm happy for you all that you can see..
but this isn't about you.. It's about the people who are really having a hard time enjoying this game because of one simple thing.. Font size.. So "please" do something about it..
Thank you..

I play at 1600 x 1200 (the most my antique CRT will support) and find the font readable if I squint and indent the glass with my nose.
/signed for larger GUI font and continued work to improve the GUI (I like the new fitting screen, took me 10 seconds to get used to it).

Yeah, just installed this game and right away its frustrating. I can barely read any text at all.
I'm playing on a 32" HDTV with an HDMI connection, I was THRILLED with the game's graphics its just the font size... I'm having to "guess" what to do because I can't read anything at all.
This has been an issue for 5 years?
Upgrade it already, it should be a relatively simple fix ! |

I already have it on the largest setting and it's not good enough. It's still tiny. |

...for chat text only. The rest of the text in the game stays tiny.
But thanks for trying. |

I agree, I play in 1920x1080. the text is just painful, A+ makes it a biny bit bigger, and a lot thicker. I don't need an A that is so thick it's wider than high, I need clean smooth text to read... when I play on my main (the HD TV) I mostly avoid chatting all together or my eyes will burn from trying to read the small text -_-a |

I think there are a few problems with the UI that stem from the font size and design. The characters for O, 0, and Q look alike. So do 6, G, and &. As do B and 8. As do - and ~. As well as |, !, and I. As do : and ;. And . and ,.
The confusion when reading the characters is multiplied by their small scale. Periods and commas are different, but the small difference in length is near impossible to notice at resolutions beyond 1024x768.

This font size issue is also one of the first things I've noticed... I'm on a big LCD TV too.
I've seen countless people asking how to change font size in the rookie channel...
As you might have guessed, I have opened a petition. Which led to nothing except "go complain on the forum". So here I am :)

I am using a 1920 resolution and have no problems. Increase the font size manually in the chat windows you want (the 'a-' and 'A+' in border area).
My only problem is that the fonts are butt-ugly when made larger, but legibility > aesthetics.

Odd, I'm having no issues at all with reading the context menus on my 1680 x 1050... I wonder if the fact that I'm at a sensible distance from my monitor has anything to do with it... --

What is a sensible distance from a 1680x1050 flat screen monitor anyway? Asking out of curiosity, as I'm still a CRT user (but not for long).

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).

Needs to be an easy way to just universally increase the font of every UI in the game and not just a select few. I like my 1600x1200 resolution but eventually it's going to make me go blind.

Edited by: Lifelongnoob on 26/08/2009 21:07:48 come on ccp when u first created the eve gui most people were lucky to have a 17 inch crt monitor 1024x960 resolution .... 6 years on most people have either 1 large 24 inch wide screen lcd or 2x 22 inch widescreen monitors. with 1900 x 1440 resolution.
its time the eve gui got a major overhaul to allow for newer screen technology.... and people can see the text at these high resolutions.

I was just about to make a thread about wanting it SMALLER.
I'm on a high res monitor. I like efficient UIs. The font and interface elements are way too big.
Give us smaller, proper sync pixel fonts please.
