It seems you guys are really trying to take player opinions into account, it may not be perfect, but I like that. Thanks

What is crazy is that right now, you can pick whatever size font you want in the chat window, and I personally use the smallest, but what we are hearing is that going forward we will only have one size font in the chat window. Insane.

That is good news assuming me can make it as small as it is now. Last thing we need are our chat windows taking up more of the screen.

Last thing we need are our chat windows taking up more of the screen. The font in member list panel of chats has been growing (and +/- buttons wont affect those fonts)... This means that if you want to see longer names like before, you need to shift the vertical divider little bit to the left. This would obviously shrink your chat box and to keep that in original size, you would need to increase the size of your chat window... Easiest thing with that probably is to do nothing and learn to live with little shorter names. At least the beginning is easier to see now with font twice as large than in chat itself :) Not a game breaker but dunno about being an big improvement either.

Kal Vekstras Chaos Empire General Tso's Alliance 0	Posted - 2011.10.06 00:46:00 - [162] - Quote Every issue I've found has already been mentioned, but for what it's worth, I'd like to add my opinion and respectfully disagree with the new font. I don't have the data to claim which way the majority of players fall on the issue, but it seems fairly split from this thread alone. It's a wonderful thing that CCP is listening to people's complaints, and I recognize that some letters/numbers were very similar, but I've personally never had a problem with it and love the style. More than anything, I'm startled that the dev response to implementing an option to switch between the two was so adamant. Is there a coding restriction that would make having both fonts available difficult?
James Duar Merch Industrial Goonswarm Federation 0	Posted - 2011.10.06 01:24:00 - [163] - Quote I like that CCP is trying, but this new font is horrible. Please please PLEASE just let us use any installed system font (this is basic functionality to do with OpenGL and DirectX) and then supply an "EVE font" that you want as a default.
M4cD0g Trifolium Incarnatum 0	Posted - 2011.10.06 02:21:00 - [164] - Quote There are a few simple rules to problems like this and they are very much Industry standard if it comes to IT. 1. Change the REAL issue not the backend. In this case, have a Font artist work on the existing font to fix "I1, O0, 5S, 6G&, 8B" and make the font 1-2px bigger. This is the REAL issue. 2. Evaluate if a complete change of the backend fixes problems beyond the initial one or introduces more problems. In your case, the font change does not fix additional issues. It fixes the problems but creates a huge amount of new problems and legibility issues that you did not have before. If you would have changed the backend to make the GUI scaleable, that would be ok, since it fixes a lot more issues, sadly thats a different Project, but choosing a quick fix over a long term solid fix is NEVER the right choice! 3. Does the change stay true to the original design? You can't change any system without retaining its Identity. If you do that you are in a world of trouble. If you have a SciFi theme, stick to it. The new font breaks this rule. 4. If your feedback essentially stays the same don't change it. Simply meaning, if you do a poll and 20% say they hate GREEN. You remove all GREEN, do another poll and suddenly 20% say they miss GREEN. In this scenario you did nothing, might as well just not bothered. In your case, i bet that at least the same amount that complained about font size and "I1, O0, 5S, 6G&, 8B" are now complaining about the lost screen space, ugly and not SciFi enough new font.

Milann Nightwind The Rising Stars The Volition Cult 0	Posted - 2011.10.06 11:06:00 - [167] - Quote Something came to my mind when you said that this will speed up the loading. Since brackets seem to be made up of text rather than images, will this make things run smoother with brackets on in space as well? If not, then perhaps you could look into whether something similar can be done in that area based on the same solution? :)

Some love the new font, some love the old font. What I'm afraid of is that after having paid a graphic/type designer for this new font, CCP will be reluctant to let that money go to waste, even to the extent of ignoring how many players my oppose the change. Not that opposition should ever be rude, and not that a majority like or dislike it. But if it should come down to as many players disliking the change as liking it, then money will have been spent for no net benefit.

But the one shown in the Screenshots are way to round and have too much squiggles (I hope its the right word). It would fit good to a Fantasy Game, but not to a Sci-Fi Game like EVE.

A lot of people hated the old font when that was added too.. and a lot of people liked it.. Then the biggest concern at the moment seems to be the lack of data, although I'm sure CCP collects it's own. Maybe a poll for the old and proposed font styles could give an indication of player preference to both the devs and the players and at least quell dissent from one side or the other. :/ Alternatively, I'm still most strongly in favor of giving the option to each player personally. It seems like a win-win scenario that would please all involved, but I don't think we've gotten any clarification on why that wasn't going to be an option. There may very well be coding issues that I'm unaware of, but from a layman's perspective, it seems like there's no downside.
Thurken Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2011.10.06 19:26:00 - [173] - Quote The font on Sisi is better readable than the old one, but looks a little bit big sometimes. I prefer monospaced fonts like Dina: http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Jibz/Dina/ You can draw nice tables with thaat, which would be awesome in EvE.

Are you kidding me that you are comparing that font to this one? We have played for years with the old one, and love it or hate it, it is better than this new one. Quit tryign to tell yourself we are wrong. This new font sucks. We are the customers, we are right. You are here to make a font we approve of, not you.

The existing font is fine, they just need slight tweaks to it. Not a complete revamp. Adding your oh so loved tildes is great and all, but there is no need to make the overview look like crap and need to be way bigger than it is already. I have given plenty of constructive feedback about the font, as many others have as well. Primarily, make it smaller, tighter, and more like the one we have, but make zeros and ohs look a bit different. Huge changes, and a total revamp are not required. All of this could be solved, very easily, by making the current font or the new font a choice. Seriously, no one has any reason to complain if both are available. Same as Incarna should have been. Good CSM, and I appreciate your efforts, but yeah, don't care about what you think about my posts or my feelings about this new font. You can nerf my super all you want, as they have hurt this game, but nerf my font, when it is not needed at all, and I will ***** and moan like a little girl with a scraped knee.

Seriously, no one has any reason to complain if both are available I think there are two different versions of GUI (english/deutch, russian) and devs trying to use newer russian for all languages to reduce workload in the future. Otherwise why dont just stay with old font and fix problems in it. Probably not compatible.
