I am talking to the decision makers about the font replacement. In order to try and convince them I need the following from you the players:
A Bug Report with attached screenshots (zipped, zip file size under 2mb) that clearly display the current font in your monitors native resolution, the current font in a non-native res and a clear description of the monitor type you use, your typical resolution, the what the native resolution is.
Please note, this is by no means a guarantee that font replacement will become available.
I'm not sure you people understand what our issues are with the font. It's not so much that it looks bad on specific monitors or at specific resolutions, it just looks a lot worse than the previous font used in Cold War. Just stop changing the blasted font, it's getting annoying. Roll it back to what it was during Cold War and leave it alone forever.

Choosing the font would be nice.
Here's a comparison I did. Since I can't login with the old 3913 client to take in-game screenshots, I took a shot of the EULA.
This may also help those who think the eve font rendering engine can't do a decent looking font, it can. Nothing is changed between these the two besides one 113k font file.
EULA text compared between Dragon font and EVE Verdana font
And here's a merge I did of the two, in photoshop. The first paragraph is the current font, the second EVE w/Verdana, the third back to current font.
EULA with both fonts on one page
(make sure you're viewing the image full-size, not scaled)
I find that while I can read both, I can read the Verdana much more easily and with less strain.
How did you do that? Screw what the developers and moderators say, CCP is horrible at making fonts.

oh please, theres nothing wrong with this font.
It's tiny, squished together, and too tall and too thin.

What part are you asking about? Playing EVE with Verdana, or having one EULA with both font types in it? The latter, eulamerge1.png, was done using photoshop. I just stuck the 2nd paragraph of the Verdana pic in the EVE font pic.
...
Did you really think I was asking how you merged two examples together?
