CCP Punkturis has been working on a new font for EVE Online and has written a blog about it. Much like the new font, her blog is very readable and can be found right here.
Let us know what you think about the new font in this comment thread, and when the new font is available on SiSi, we have a special issues thread ready for you right here.

Quote:Try it out and post!
Since there are endless things you guys do in EVE and we have probably not covered all of the use cases, we want to ask you to try it out on Singularity (real soon) and then report all issues in this thread: [link to thread]
Um, you kinda forgot that link there, a minor thing, but...
Still a really good change, though! I look forward to it! |

Comic Sans? In a sci-fi game? Are you serious? Or you are using EVE to test WoD stuff once again?

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

COMIC SAAAAAANS!
on topic: long, long overdue new font - but better late than never. :)
I don't know if it's an intentional troll or not but the constantly changing font in the devblog is a little annoying imo.

Which F? I don't see it!
We're still working on it though, as some may have noticed, the new "test note" is a newer screenshot than the "new esc menu"

This is something that comes standard with EVERY game, and should have been implemented 8 years ago. Am I really supposed to be exited? This was the hyped up "big news"? What a disappointment.
Just goes to show how neglected this game has been if such standard things are such an achievement. |

Have you considered using 'small caps' for menus? It is very legible and doesn't scream as much. Plus the lessened text height of small caps makes them take up less space on the screen than Caps & lowercase since they lack descenders.

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 |

I to oppose change in any way while lamenting that things never get done and still expect progress in every field of EVE right now.
I wish to make bitter comments on how to little has been done to late and demean the achievements of making a font that will make reading in EVE less of a chore.
These changes, together with the upcoming new/old hangar will surely impact my favourite MMO chat room significantly.

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. |

All caps is a BAD THING for readability and it's always bugged me that EVE switched so much of the text to it. People read word shapes more than the letters themselves and switching more of the textual content to regular case is a great move. All caps for headers and other small snippets of text is fine.
Letter spacing seems a tad wide but that could be a Windows thing. I'm looking forward to seeing this on Mac where it'll be rendered properly. 
Punkturis, it's looking good and I can't wait to see the final result.
P.S.
Where are you hiding the font files in the application? I can't find them.

How on earth can you turn a positive thing into such a fail post?

every optional thing for you means TWO supported possibly clusterfuxed hacks, and another option to store... and to read... and be aware while doing anything anywhere in the code.
so no, bye old font, welcome future. |

Not intentional; just a glitch. It should be fixed now.

Some old features in eve are like precious glass vases on a shelf with not alot of room somethings going to get broken when you put the new vase and they peferre it be the one the vase was supposed to replace.
I have an odd feeling that the contextual means to control which font is displayed is no where near in existence yet in the game but they're more than capable of yanking out the entire libary as they done before when it comes to the text. |

First impression: I don't like it. The all caps font reminds me of a gritty/old technology terminal-esque font. Which I totally dig. I'll give it a fair shot once it's implemented. Maybe this is one of those changes I never knew I wanted. |
