I realize this has probably been requested before, but I thought I'd share my experience:
My display runs at 2048x1152. EVE runs and looks fantastic at this resolution on my system -- except for the the font size. It is *tiny*. The poor typography coupled with the extremely small font size makes for tired, sore eyes within an hour or so of playing at this resolution.
I can't set my display to a lower resolution acceptably. Anything less than the native resolution of the display results in a very fuzzy image that doesn't fill the entire screen horizontally.
Even just adding proper typographical effects (kerning, anti-aliasing, curvature) to the existing font size would improve readability.

I know we're not supposed to just "sign" these, but what is there to say?
I find EVE quite playable on my 19" CRT, but I set it to 1152x1024 pixels, whereas I run every other game in much higher resolution (some games as high as 1600x1200). I'd run EVE in higher rez too, except I can't read the fonts, then.
Also, my CRT is dying on me, and won't last more than a month or two I think, so I'll need to replace it, and I have my mind set on a 20" flat screen running 1680x1050 pixels.
That will nor be fun, with EVE's user-hostile interface.
Please do something about the font issue, CCP! |

Hi !
I have to agree with the other people here ( how come so few, though ?. I kind of figured way more people would be interested in this .. ). I'd appreciate having more options to improve on-screen readability. I understand this might well be a very subjective issue, but I hardly believe having larger fonts would harm anyone.
On a side note, if any of the powers that be happens to read this, why not go the extra mile and add a " Maximize " function for those of us that play in windowed mode ?.
Cheers.

I agree I have 2 x 22" screen monitors and even with the larges font size the text is realy small, was worse befre Apoc came in but we still need up to size 22px fonts realy.
Maby a way of changine/setting the colour of the text for different chat screens or different for different corps and or fleet boss

There are buttons on every chat window to increase or decrease the font size, they look like a- A+.
Unless you are saying the max size you can increase via those is not large enough? Aeon of Strife |

One million times signed.
This has bothered me from my first few minutes playing Eve. It causes me eye-strain and neck pain from unconsciously leaning forward to read the tiny, tiny text.
Please, CCP, make the UI fully scalable or at least give us options for bigger fonts. Even the expanded fonts are too tiny.
Chat windows have fully scalable fonts--why not the rest of the UI? I'm sure the fonts were fine when Eve was new and most resolutions were significantly lower, but these days with widescreen, high-res monitors, they're too tiny. |

(Emphasis added)
Some of us do more than just chat. All the other windows do not have the text-scaling you mention.
The market window, science and industry window, inventory window, corp window, missions description window, info window and all the other hundreds of windows in the game except the chat windows have one of two available font sizes, the largest of which is far too tiny at high resolutions.
Unless you use Eve solely as a pay-to-chat program with a pretty background, the fonts are not scalable. I think the original poster assumed that those reading this thread could figure out that he was not talking about the chat windows.
Next time, please think for a moment or two before posting. |
