The Fonts in Chat Look Fine with One Exception, The Ability to increase Font Size.
Keep it to One Font One Size. Changing the color could be good, People in Corp chat could Group them selves by color etc.. its got potential. But with regards to changing the Font Size. Thats a big No No no, it will be a smack talkers dream come true, in addition to Trade Channels in large Font. Its not Necessary at all
As to the Voice ? If its not Broke don't try fixing it ! It was fine before leave it.

Actually that saying only applies to functionality and therefore doesn't work for creative changes. Yes the voice was fine before, but then again so were the pre exodus graphics. Creating a game isn't just about bug fixing it's about game evolution. You of course are entitled to your opinion. I for one would bet that most new players will like this voice.

I absolutely despise the new Voice and Font that is on the test server! It brings the quality of EVE down several notches.
Do not put on Tranquility!

The thing is, with the new voice, is that it sounds like any average joe/jane's voice. Just like the current artificial voice, we need one that sounds technical, or mechanical. I'm a fan of a series on the PS2 called Armored Core, and in that game you have something similar to the current voice, announcing when the mission is complete. We need a futuristic voice. This one does not cover it. It's bland, and boring. And the new docking voice bit is excessive in added words. "Docking Request Accepted" was and always should be good enough.
As for the new font. It looks terrible, shows up not antialiased enough and makes the game seem unprofessional. The current font used on Tranquillity is perfect for EVE, and should not be tampered with.
The new chat text options are out of place for EVE. EVE is a game where you need your HUD as slim and uniform as possible. EVE is not AIM, YAHOO, or iChat. It should not be changed. If anything, a feature that allows others to know that you are AFK, would of been a better project, in my opinion.
The lack of an option to have a miniature portrait next to each persons reply, makes it more of a chore to identify those who are important to your current conversation, since strangers communicating in the same channel usually never have their portrait filled and being so make it easy to consciously ignore those people while you continue to converse with those you have bothered to show portrait to.
All in all, these are bad ideas, and they would seriously alter my enjoyment of eve, and I believe there are many more who feel the same. If all the people who played EVE got on the server, saw what I've seen and then had the patience to post their distaste for the changes, I know you would understand why these changes are not beneficial to EVE.

OMG! Yes THAT was a very good one! THE BEST!
And yes, as I stated in the other font thread: Please keep the old font and the old audio and pls don't allow formatting of chattext. Currently font and audio works just fine, and there is absolutely no reason to change what works well.
If you plan to expand the audio, then please use the current as base.

CCP, please stop "fixing" things that are not broken. The current TQ font, voice, and UI are excellent. Instead, please focus on gameplay and content. With the effort taken to make these needless changes, something could've been done about mobile warp disruptors in terms of making them work properly and strengthening them to make them effective.

plz do not change the font or voice, it looks broken and the voice sounds too british.
I like the voice sounding noticeably british (hating those american "R" - sorry guys), but the new voice has something cold, harsh and commanding that is utterly annoying (I can almost feel the whip after accidentially trying to set the same waypoint twice). She definitely speaks too fast and she should try to put some warmth in her voice :-)

I concur.
CCP please strongly consider leaving the Font as it is always has been. When I first played EVE I was impressed by the typography in the game and how sophisticated it was, please don't cheapen the feel of EVE.
Also, even though I as a BPC seller can be accused of being a prolific spammer, I see no reason to have formatting applied to channels what so ever. Again, this only serves to diminish the subtlety and stylish feel that the current UI has.

The reason why CCP implemented a new font in the chat is the support of unicode chars. EVE is about to expand to the Asian market therefore EVE has to support Asian charsets. Unfortunately the old font system is not able to handle anything else than the normal DOS/Windows charset.
CCP implemented a new font rendering engine that is based on FreeType. Many of you have already seen its first incarnation on Sisi. As the new font system supports unicode, it allows for use any charset that the used font supports. Furthermore much more different fonts can be used and the fonts are scalable now.
As you have noticed, the new system causes some trouble. Unreadable font, slow chat and so on.
But a solution is near: The next Sisi build will contain a more EVE-like font that is much easier to read. Also, most of the chat lag has been fixed. Oveur decided, that only bold, italic, and underline text modifiers are allowed in chat - so no colorful messages in big letters. However, the motd (message of the day) of a chat channel can contain all formating options. On the top of this, EVE has a new feature. You can now drag any item or pilot into the chat input window and create a link to showinfo.
The new chat is still far from being perfect, but with your help it will until we patch TQ. Therefore, please report all bugs that you can find in it.
It's good to see someone more official commenting on this matter, since it's a rather uniform 'NO' to the changes so far. EVE in Asia? It's an interesting prospect, and cross-language fonts are obviously what are required. Oveur did the right thing by limiting it to italics and bold only - the use of overly large coloured writing would have been a serious headache.
Any news on the voice changes? I'm guessing it's because you're re-recording everything in different languages, but there's no need for the rather rubbish English-speaking voice at the moment. It needs to be made more succint and it needs to be synthesised. A computerised voice would be useless if it spent all day describing what's going on.
Oh - please don't make the changes to TQ until they're absolutely working!

ack, I can't bear that new voice, it totally ruins the atmosphere. The artificial sounding computer voice on TQ is far superior

I think the reason for them to put new voice sounds in is because they want to use more of it but do not have the person anymore that was doing the original sounds? Anyways, Fonts look messed up right now but this is because of the new chat system wich will get fixed, about the voice, its quite ok, but it needs that special sci-fi touch to it, a touch that will fit eve. :) atm it sounds too much.. umm.. human. ;)

The original voice is completely synthesised, I don't think they could reproduce it though.

The russian font is simply horrible...even after making the chat background completely pitch black, and maxing out contrast on my monitor it still took me a minute to decipher what people wrote.
Besides the spaces between letters are gigantic and a 5-letter word looks like a 10-letter one with english fonts.

i spend serveral times on SiSi and wanna say :
a.) font - the new fond looks not very good. in some parts, hard to read.
b.) voice - the voice of TQ is clear and good to read for me, cause my english isn's so good  the new one on SiSi sounds unclear and too smooth.
c.) testing general - to test stuff more efficient, update the skill-levels (having on TQ) with SiSi or give us the chance (by command / <?>) to set them by ourselves. stuff in market should be very cheep and available in sufficent numbers. also new mods/skills should be put into market.
d.) bugs - pse give more respond on known bugs, cause it's unneccessary, to report one again and again without knowing, wether it arrived or not. (reportet serveral, but get no feedback yet)
tnx

NICE feature. put the old voice back tho please. I'd have no problem talking to her in a social setting, but it just doesn't sound right in Eve...

oh yeah!!! i love voice from mechwarrior. old hard core fan from mech II. gotta love ghost bear. anyways. yes i do believe that, that is the perfect voice for eve. the current one on TQ sounds like youve just typed the words into micro$oft's narrator and then recorded what its said and put to eve.
the one on the test server sounds to human.it sounds british.
but anyway lol. if u want a nationality selection lol, gotta put a variety. but if you want computer, AI *GOOD* sounding, go get the voice from mech II. 
um, coloured font is alright, different sized is bad, so is bold (bad idea). um the front needs alot of tunining. i personally like the current eve font (on TQ).
does anyone know what ratio of zydrine we are gona get in jaspet and hemo?
when is this patch approx going to be released to TQ?

If they've already paid for actor/studio/etc to record the new voice, I doubt they'll scrap it, to be honest.

even in case they didnt produce it themself and really paid for it that still doesnt mean just because they bought crap that they have to put that crap in game if most players dislike it
