SiSi will have a new font in the next build, most likely tomorrow, September 21st.
Read about it in this dev blog and please use this thread to report any issues you encounter on the test server.
General feedback on the new font can be posted here.

Already posted in another thread but it's worth to repeat. Don't release this font until all cyrillic characters get normal looks.
[[FIXED]
Just one example: http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/5093/20110919181111.png
Why this "-+" letter isn't symmetrical? Other characters like "-î","-¦", "-ä" also look weird.)
[/FIXED]
OK right now I re-checked and errors in previous statement was fixed in latest nightly.
But still "-+" looks like "-+" and dot is barely recognizable.
Why I'm bothering with this now? Because CCP can release stuff and then never look back or fix bugs just like with fonts on eveisreal page: http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/9852/brokenfont.png
English font is ok thought. |

I do hope this isnt just for chat boxes and the entire fonts within the game, i still would like to be able to play eve on a 32" screen using 1080p without having to squint at the station info text and all other text. About time & good work if thats the case. |

I agree it has greatly improved legibility and that's good, but the new font just seems too.... round. Doesn't seem sci-fi at all.
Just my 2c, make with it what you will. |

It's some sort of Icelandic April Fools Day, right?
I mean, with at least a 5-year backlog of genuinely broken stuff in the game, you guys aren't seriously devoting resources to changing the FONT, right?
I thought so. Phew.
For a second there I thought you were serious about this. Totally had me going. |

Sorry to say but the readability has degraded judging by those screenshots. Yes, you now can distinguish between some characters, but overall it takes me more effort to scan a sentence. |

It's a good change. Especially with a bit of fine tuning. My question though is why not let us choose from several fonts? |

Please make the font changeable in size while still the new font applies to ALL windows (not like the current mix of fontsizes if you leave the default size). Many alliance leaders will have multiple chat channels open at the same time, so even small fontsize must be easy to read and not create headache. So far the font looks more like Serif than Sans. While Serif is ok for letters I do not like it for internet pixels.

Can someone post an image of what the "~" (tilde) character looks like in the new font?
Also perhaps a showcase of the different font sizes in a chat window? |

Also, see the menu screen:
"Show introduction movie on next login"
"Show Session-Change Timer"
"Only stack windows if Shift pressed"
Try to use existing info window if any (except if shift is pressed)"
If you can't decide on one way of capitalization, maybe it would be better to keep it in all caps. |

Try adding an extra pixel in between all the characters. They seem sorta scrunched together. |

This new font is horrendous. I'm not sure I'll be able to stand playing the game for more than a few minutes at a time if it comes out anything like the devblog screenshots.
Some characters are too small, some too large, some too close together. The game font *needs* to be monospaced and scalable, how hard can that be? There's a multitude fantastic fonts already out there and available, why reinvent the wheel as a square rather than re-use one of the perfectly good ones already out there! |

Currently in EVE, with the default options, I have a very hard time to read stuff. So I use a bit different color for background, have increased the menu font size to 13, and have set the font width option to expanded. It's better that way, but far, very far from what I could call readable. (I have glasses; have a big LCD monitor with 2048x1152 resolution.)
I see from the pictures that you have removed the font width option - and sadly I already see that this new font, while certanly better then the old one, will give me a hard time reading stuff again in EVE.
I guess there can be some technical difficulties to be able to choose from different fonts, but I ask you to
- put back the option for font spacing (width, how you called it),
- preferably enable to be able to set the font size too and
- give us an option to set the font color too, not just the window colors.
(For me, light windows with dark, bigger fonts would be much better.)
Best regards,
Peter
Ps.: The 2 pictures show in the blog are not very good examples to be compared, because you didn't use the same background color and transparency values for the pictures. |

Although at first I found the new font disgusting and nauseating, I'm pleased to report that after some time my opinion of it stayed exactly the same. |
