Probably
The problem though is that, like the way ships look, the way the font looks is subjective. What they really should do is make the font selectable.
It isn't subjective. The font causes headaches in the physical sense because it causes eye strain on quite a few systems. It is technically badly designed. It is an EVE only problem until you use the font for whatever reason in other programs.
There are futuristic fonts around that are well designed and do not cause eye strain. Some of them are even freely available. But ccp are probably to proud to ask if they're allowed to use them - or to tight to buy licenses from professional font designers.

CCP wanted a well known artist and celebrity to test the new font so it's approval would be well known. They got Ray |

I have np with the latest one, I think it was an improvement. But, as someone mentioned, best idea would be to have the font freely selectable. BUT THE CURRENT FONT IS MORE READABLE THAN THE PREVIOUS imo.
There was not a single change at the font since it has been dropped onto us in RMR. For half a year there are three devs working on the font according to multiple posts by Oveur and Kieron. Yeah. Right. Someone fiddled a bit with the font rendering engine, exhibiting no skill nor knowledge for the task at hand.

I wonder if the 2x3 devs are still meditating over the font problems ...

I don't think it makes much sens arguing with developers of a game. It's their game and fate too. Love or hate it.
We don't know why they changed the perfect Cold War font. It might be even liecence stuff and what not.
CCP had to implement a new font to support unicode and allow the client to be localized, afaik.
The specific font they implemented, though, was a design choice, not a technical one.
In fairness, CCP have recently been making huge strides in improving their responsiveness to the needs of the customer base, IMO. I hope you guys at CCP find the time to prioritise offering a basic range of easier reading fonts for the proportion of your customers who find the default sci-fi font prohibitive to their gameplay.
There are quite a few unicode fonts that aren't breaking each and every font design guideline. okay, it could be a calligrafic font on top of what we have right now ...
Olly, I hope we get a working replacement soon!

Really who cares about the font? Its not that bad. I rather they work on more important things tbh. I bet you once they replace the font, another group of people come up and whine about it.
Bad font causing eyestrain and headaches is not that bad. Mmkay. I think you failed this test - unless you're training for management.

We are sorry to inform you of our temporary and complete loss of bughuntung and GM staff. They're all waiting for appointsments for eye surgery and will be out of office for the next three months.
We wish them all a complete and fast recovery from a Dev's prank asking for screenschots.
