Indeed, It will take some getting used to. It looks nice though! The F seems as though the top has been cut off though!

The obvious place to see the F is the log off button. I don't think it's a UI thing though, just the way the font is. Still. The F does look as though the top has been cut off!

+1 to CCP Punkturis :D

Nice, but I have some questions:

1. Will it be possible to change the font size of ESC menu?
2. Will it be possible to change the font size of the mission descriptions?
3. Will it be possible to change the font size of the local player list (player names)?
4. Will it be possible to change the font size on the ship fitting window?
5. Will it be possible to change the font size in the item description windows?
6. Will it be possible to change the font size in the PI, S&I, and market screens?
7. Why not allow us to use our own favorite font? Most of the day I stare at DejaVu Sans Mono and I really like that font (the whole font family actually).

As i wrote on Facebook, maybe Noah forwarded it yet.

Expanded action menu with: Left Gûí mouse button.
Is the Gûí intentional or a character that is not available in the Eve Sans Neue?

For the love of God, please when you go changing things like this, give us the option to keep the old setting.

I hate the look of that font compared to the old one, and don't understand why you can't just give us a checkbox/drop down selection in our options to choose the font we use.

It is subjective whether it is better or not; I generally don't have an issue differentiating between the 6G& etc to be honest and when you make changes like this you should consider those who like or are used to the old way of things.

Make subjective changes OPTIONAL.

I seemed to have side tracked yet another thread.

Punkturis, keep up the great font update work!

CCP Punkturis,

I like the blog and I have a request and a question.

1. When you make font comparisons, please make the choice of the background colour scheme the same! It is very difficult to make a valid comparison when one is basically black/transparent an the other is kind of grey/translucent.

Please can you change the blog to show both font samples with the same colour scheme? If i had to choose one, I would go with the black scheme.

2. It feels that the new font has been 'streched' vertically somewhat, it makes reading it uncomfortable... very odd. Has the vertical to horizontal aspect ratio been tinkered with or is it just me?

Tedric.

Seeing it on SISI I've enjoyed it overall. It's a more comfortable reading experience, 100%. It feels "large" sometimes, and I'm not sure if that's just my personal preference, or just something to get used to as time goes on. As personal preference, I could go for about 10% smaller size - I know there are plenty of other folks who would like it larger even.


There are still some places it still doesn't quite fight snuggly yet, or some things need to be adjusted. I'm sure these will be worked out during the *cough* QA.

i.e. : Character names in Chat aren't bolded, making it difficult to separate Characters from their Chat message.


There are some places, I think that the form of the interface is still molded to the old font which is less vertical - and there is a challenge there. I took a screenshot of some issues in the character sheet which I want to point it out.

Hope this helps - I couldn't find another official feedback thread, so hope this gets to you.

I have to say that I have had no problem reading the old font.

Maybe that's due to the size of the monitor I use. I don't know.

However, the new font is definitely easier on the eyes though a little ugly and thin.

One thing I have noticed is the decimal point or lack thereof. I squinted at the screen and it actually is there but rendered so small as to be all but invisible. Not a show stopper I will admit ; for example, distance to the next way point (in AU) seems to have grown by a factor of 10 i.e. 433 Au instead of 43.3 AU.

I was wondering what wil lhappen to "~" sign because it looked like minus (-) ingame and got many confused.
also i think the crossed over 0 wont work as there is a letter like that actually and the no caps in menu really doesnt look good for me. but i guess i was just used to the old style.

CCP Punkturis, your work on fonts is not as glamorous as work on spaceships, but trust me on this, it is higher valued by the players.
A long awaited step in the right direction. My thanks.

Wish I had 10 thumbs, they would be all up!
Great thing, I've been asking for font review for ages, this will help improve the player experience immensely

Never a dull moment, always a pleasure to see what's happening.

Can't wait to have the faster, easy read font, and see CCP go from strength to strength.

This will help with the local channel chat box comments, and help me effect other players better too.

Thanx.
