Wish they would focus on other aspects than the font to be honest.
The font has been changed, what, 8 times now?
(And don't tell me that whoever changed it is a professional font maker and unable to do anything else :P)

all they've done is make it slightly more readable... which is a start
the right click menu font, when at "normal" size is a whole lot more readable

Barely noticable changes.
yet again, in a otherwise superb art department, CCP's typographic skills come up short...

Why not just have another option in the graphics area or general that allows you to choose any of the text types that have ever been used, and add new ones as they see fit.

"Another patch another font change. Better or worse? You choose:
Menus
Ship description"
right-click menu font has smaller spacing, feels more readable to me. Nice change.
The description font wasn't changed at all. You can check it easily in Photoshop -- overlay one over the other, set the 'difference' mode for top layer... they match pixel for pixel.

ok, i might need a new pair o glasses instead of a new font, sure, but I tend to be ok with most every other app but eve which really put some strain on me eyes.
Why doesnt CCP try to get the font ergonomically right instead of designer right, even forget a compromise ffs, just hire someone who knows ok.
Hoping for a serious change to all this bull**** s been going on since too long.

Although there doesn't seem to be that much of a difference, the new font looks much sharper and easier to read in the right-click menus. I like it.

its the same font.
The font sucks no matter how you look at it, more kerning isnt going to make it look better.(old - 1111, new- 1 1 1 1)i.e. you can put icing on a pile of sh** but it is still a pile of sh**.
there are much better fonts out there that can be used with unicode, so lets see the actual font change to one that will not make the difference between a I, 1, l, and o,0,O amonst other annoying things, LESS ANNOYING and unreadable.

Eww no, the current EVE font is much better than that....urgh...
Current font is fine, although I suspect people on CRTs might have trouble.

A lot of CRT's and even some LCD's. It's especially bad on Iiyama CRT's. Guess what are some of the best monitors on the market, and I use at home (19") AND at work (21"). Yep! They're brilliant for everything else so I really can't justify a change :/

Try with ship descriptions? Too few texts to decide, TBH.
Sure, how's this?
New font i.e. top one gives me headache.

I'd love to see the UI and all the text become scalable. 1680x1050 res is pretty but the text is hard on the eyes.

I Agree,I play at high resolution. The graphics look great, but PLEASE let me adjust the font to what is comfortable to me. Both in size and width. Not just a choice between 10pt and 12pt. I end up dragging my client to a different monitor set in a different resolution in order to "zoom" in to read. A minor anoyance, but one everyone who runs high res has.

Hmmm... no noticable difference on the 2 different LCD panels I'm using at work.
My 7 year old CRT at home displays the pre-3908 font with no problems at 1280x1024, any bigger and the 12pt fonts in Windows get murky.
This signature is a tribute to the greatest signature of all time.
It's not the greatest signature ever, it's just a... Tribute!! |

New record: 8 minutes from Login to beginning headache.
(Not counting the equal time from logging into SiSi last week before writing some bugreports about the UI issues.)
The User Interface is meant to drive players away from EVE?

I'am using resolution 1280/1024.
This new font is terrible. There is a space between line. When using the chat option "text only" on a chat , we now see 30% less text than before for the same chat windows.
Please CCP give us an option to restore the old font !!!

I just logged on, and I have to say the new font is a major annoyance. Especially the line spacing in chat windows it horrible. This is in my opinion a case of 'fixing a running system'. Please CCP, see that you revert those unneccessary changes asap.

To put it mildly, I am VERY frustrated with the font "changes" CCP keeps making. For context on how I view the game:
3 PCS:
Laptop - 1920x1200 widescreen LCD, I run it in both full screen and windowed @ 1600x1050
Desktop1 - 1280x1024 17" CRT - run in full screen
Desktop2 - 1024x768 17" CRT - run in full screen
As you can see, a wide variety.
Personal sight traits :
I like very small text and I can view it very well, even from a good distance. I don't have a problem reading text at 1600x1200 on a 14" laptop screen ( I have this at work )
The biggest difference I see with the new changes is in spacing... and most annoyingly , there is a huge gap between each players chat lines now. This is very frustrating to me because I want to be able to see as much chat as possible in as small an area as possible, so I don't have chat windows covering my viewable area.
And for the BIGGEST issue, what I don't understand is how they can make all these changes and NOT address the biggest issue...
You still CAN'T tell the difference between:
"0" (zeros) and "O" (ohs)
"5" (fives) and "S" (esses)
"6" (sixes) and "&" (ampersands)(sp?)
The biggest aggrivation is the zero's thing... I live in 0.0, and it can very frustating trying to search for a system name that has either one in it, you have no idea which one it is and you have to work with trial and error. 0.0 can be dangerous and I don't have time to trying figure that stuff out.
sigh, nuff said for now.

Hey, it's only since december '05 that we got the most horribly designed font of all games I know since Elite(C64).
Barely enough time for ccp's UI design team to find out that there are problems with it.

I never noticed that the & symbol looked like the 6 until I read this post, then tested it. I always had problems distinguising it from a G. Whenever I'd type P&P, people would ask "What's PGP?"
As far as the font goes, I could live with it as is, but would REALLY prefer there to be a way to choose from installed fonts on your system already. It would take all but 30 extra seconds for EVE to scan my fonts folder for compatible fonts to build the list for me.
On that note, would it be terrible to allow UI customization? I'm tired of my screen being filled with chat windows and inventory windows and a bulky HUD. This is with my max screen resolution (limited by my 17" monitor, not my video card) of 1280x1024. I should have plenty of room, but I don't. I know either I or someone else could come up with a snazzy new layout for people like me.

I'd be happier with Times New Roman or even Ariel, I do see a small difference, but to be totally honest I'm not sure it's just because I'm told that there is Why the hell does it have to be so bloody 'Square' anyway? Angles don't make Sci-Fi I'm sure we got over that in the 80's

It's pretty trivial to do. It's also not allowed. Sigh.

I vote for a major font change as well. At a minimum the font should be extremely readable, with actual aesthetic design considerations thrown out the window. It may be a good idea to use different fonts for different purposes as well. A serif font for descriptions and a sans serif for the HUD, for instance. Taking it a bit further, the user should have more control over font size, maybe a 13pt selection will help some.
I would be suprised if CCP has never consulted with a big font company, but you never know.
FrutigerNext from Linotype would be awesome by the way!
