The headaches. The effort, the mistakes.. The Giant friggin' pain in the arse that the font is.. has gone on Long enough.
This has been complained about and promised to be fixed for 6 f'ing years!
As a member of the community I DEMAND JUSTICE! I DEMAND THE ABILITY TO CHOOSE MY OWN FONT and FONT SIZE.
On a 1680x1050 screen, the font is so small I have to practically squint to see it. I already wear glasses and it's hard to see even WITH my glasses on (Now I need BETTER glasses because I play EVE!).
I understand that having a customizable UI is a major project and out of scope. But for Christ Sakes.. Please. Please can we change our font?
Will someone bring this to their attention? Will someone MAKE THIS HAPPEN? We've been waiting for years.

CCP cares more about walking in stations and mining planets than about actually having a usable interface.

When lawyers are walking around in stations with court orders and a huge optomitrist and legal bill, maybe then they'll reconsider!
When EVE was first developed monitors were smaller, text was bigger and it was easier to see. As time has gone on, the client has stayed behind and ignored a very basic feature every other piece of software has allowed.
I've left EVE twice because of the headaches. I want to play, and everyone agrees it has to change, but it always gets pushed back. And now it's six f'ing years and we're still waiting. It's time to stop pushing it back.
We deserve to be treated better than this. We deserve to be treated with some dignity and some respect. While walking in stations may get new subscribers, the ones who stick it out are the ones they should care about, and they are the ones who have gone ignored on this issue for years. They are the ones going blind trying to read a font that you can't even tell the difference between several of the characters.

Good issue, but this isn't the right place. You want the Assembly Hall, not Jita Park.

I don't think there is a single CSM that would be against improving the font.
As a CSM candidate the font was the first thing on my mind. It is not a complex fix and it causes issues with many people. It is a MAJOR issue since it can cause physical pain. I suffered from eye strain myself to to the crappy font and the inablity to change it. It took me a while to figure out that Eve was the problem. I am able to compensate for it by not wearing my glasses. Strange but true. Of course that means I can't really see a lot of text very well and it brings up other issues within Eve. Then there is the added bonus of free AA and Bloom without having to take the hit to the graphics card.

It's funny how the Russian localized client already has a WAY BETTER font than the English client...

CCP really needs to start paying a lot more attention to the health of it's players.
Creating more and more clicky horribles UIs with poor usability/accessibility is surely a legal risk.
Surely for the good of their customers they'd be interested in improving this even if they feel 100% isolated from any legal risk.
If after years of complaints, being completely aware of the issue, CCP shows no effort to improve damaging areas of their game...............

I have known many people that have bot bothered with eve due to the painfully small fonts, a simple solution that will bring new players.
Playing on 702=1080P is terrible, planning on getting a 32" Tv to swap for my current monitor, playing eve on on will be a nightmare

Edited by: El Liptonez on 30/06/2010 14:34:07 Fonts bigger? I hope this is optional and not like a few things they changed with Tyrannis.
I have a 1680x1050 screen as well. I love the small font size, but I can understand people who want bigger fonts. Still, hasn't the issue always been the bad font type? Like B and 8, 0 and O, S and 5, G and 6 and so on. This is something that seriously needs fixing. But something tells me some guy at CCP will have the awesome idea to just change all fonts to Verdana with font size 12.
If it's optional, cool. I just don't want to have my overview over 50% of my screen, the chat windows taking up the other half.

Try 2560x1600, it's a nightmare.
At least let us resize the fonts outside of the chat window.

well... even on 12000*7000 you can set display to 1024*768. Easy to read and no headaches ^^ . If you started to play Eve 6years ago, you should get used to that display.

Absolutely needs font options beyond those that CCP has given.
CCP must design this game with absolutely huge monitors.
I've been in the game since 2004 and am getting tired of waiting. Eve's player-base is older, and getting even older... anyone who 'loves' the fonts must be younger than 30, and they just don't know what's coming for them.

I get the feeling changing the font or the size of said font isn't a simple job due to how complex the UI windows are. Words would get chopped off, the font labels of ui windows wouldn't be aligned properly, would just be a nightmare.
So... complete UI overhaul please!
:P

Agree to this, the damn font is so annoying, I want some standard easy readable font in EvE!
Changing the resolution is not an option, I do not have a 1680*1050 screen to play with a 1440*900 resolution...
