0lly Minmatar	Posted - 2006.07.28 15:03:00 - [31] Originally by: Thyrees Descan Hi All, I play on a laptop at home and cant read 99 percent of in game text. Im not particularly techy but friends who are have tried the various resizing,respacing etc that are suggested and my font in game still looks like hiroglphics. So Please, please eve developers put some alternative fonts in game options to sort this out. Just my 2 iskies Thyrees :) There are ways of changing a font. Several Screenshots of various different styles of fonts can be found Here Secondly . you mention you play on a laptop. A lot of Mid range laptops run the Sis or intel Extreme Graphics engines. Unfortunately These chipsets afaik are not supported by Eve and the problems do arise. Hope this helps Regards 0lly If you were me , You'd want to be somebody else as well .

Tachy	Posted - 2006.07.28 15:18:00 - [33] Has anyone tried to adjsut the testserver client with alternate folders yet? --==*-- Even with nougat, you can have a perfect moment.
Rakeris Legio VIII	Posted - 2006.07.28 15:58:00 - [34] Would anyone know of a editor that I could use to change fonts over, from .TTF to .PFB? As I would like to see what Franklin Gothic Medium, Arial Black or Lucida Sans Unicode would look like. Thanks. --------
Argenton Sayvers	Posted - 2006.07.28 23:33:00 - [35] Edited by: Argenton Sayvers on 28/07/2006 23:34:03 The reason for this font is simple. The skill that makes it readable - (rank 5, charisma / memory) is done and ready, but whiners fear that the advanced version (rank 9, memory / willpower) will make certain play styles overpowered, and the game too easy for some professions. Some say that its about preserving the advantage of people who can afford to buy high end glasses. Therefor it has been put on hold until a way can be found to preserve the harsh, rewarding atmoshphere in eve, where nothing comes free of charge.

Rakeris Legio VIII	Posted - 2006.07.30 21:23:00 - [39] Ah, you just transfer the glyphs over? Interesting, thanks. --------
Prvince Varro	Posted - 2006.07.30 22:20:00 - [40] Edited by: Prvince Varro on 30/07/2006 22:20:37 wow, this is just amazing 0lly. As a new player, I can't tell you how much I hate the default font. Very hard to read and eventually strains my eyes. I m but a poor noob, however in the interest of science. I m going to donate some isk your way for further "reseach" F o r S c i e n c e! PS: Can you do a "New Roman Times" one? I believe "New Roman Times" is the international standard font for legal documents, b/c its so easy to read. Also, I m curious as to how long does it take for you to covert/create new fonts? I hope you continue your work! Thank you!
0lly Minmatar	Posted - 2006.07.30 22:46:00 - [41] Glad you like them Varro . But Please DO NOT send any "donations" . 0lly, as many know, is an alt - my main doesnt need isk. But thanks you for your input. As to your question ... It takes on average between 10- 15 hours to make the font useable. (Tweaking the metrics and scaling are the time eaters.) I really would like to convert a few more. however at this moment in time, RL is getting in the way. Regards 0lly If you were me , You'd want to be somebody else as well .

DirtyHarry Caldari	Posted - 2006.07.30 23:13:00 - [44] Nice one, and really easy to install judging by your page... just a shame CCP are against playing with client files, although I think they should allow the player to use alternative fonts. Havocide - DirtyHarry

Malthros Zenobia Caldari Independent Navy Reserve Kimotoro Directive	Posted - 2006.07.31 00:05:00 - [46] Originally by: FooB2 this thread is a shrine to "HERE ARE SCREENSHOTS OF ME VIOLATING THE EULA AND PLAYING WITH A MODIFIED CLIENT. OH HI CCP HOW ARE YOU?" QTF After the commerical break, people who kill people and then drag the body to the police station.
Argenton Sayvers	Posted - 2006.07.31 00:24:00 - [47] Turn in next time: companies who mess up their product, then sue the customer who vastly improved it in his free time - free of charge.

Oh right, breaking the EULA to change the font is a vast improvement. TBH I've never had a problem reading the font on EVE.
Mr Popov Shadow Company Alektorophobia	Posted - 2006.07.31 00:43:00 - [49] Originally by: Nee'kita Frist I feel they are much worse than present fonts (Although I have no problem with the present fonts apart from STILL not being able to differeciate between some numbers and letters B and 8 for instance. Try spotting the difference between a 0 and a capital O. How hard is it to put a slash through the zero and leave the capital O how it is? It's extremely frustrating when barking out destinations in 0.0 space where it's all letters and numbers.
