Almost sorry to raise this issue again, but one of our people was recently (yes, really) told by a GM that if enough people voiced their concerns about the current font, it will be looked at...
Weren't however many pages it was of PLEASE FIX THE FONT posts after that patch enough of a voiced concern?
And lest it be thought that recent silence on this issue means that we've grown to like the font can I just make it clear that I for one still hate it. It's ugly. If you want it just about readable then it takes up too much screen real estate. And "just about readable" might be optimistic for some characters. And can we please have a font closer to what we had before the change we didn't want?
/me thinks this is probably flogging dead horse but let it not be said that I didn't voice my concern when they asked for it...

I'll sign this, although TBH, I can read Eve's text well enough at 2048x1536. That is, however, with it set as big as the game can make it, which means it overflows in all sorts of odd places, cutting bits of text off......

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 liked the old font better. The Pre-RMR one I think it was. With the softly rounded big A. Can't find a screeny now.

I would like to agree 100% that this post needs to get to 10 pages in the next few hours so a DEV will take it SERIOUSLY!! This font change that they didnt make is hurting my eyes as well. The wallet is clearly a smaller font then before and agent names are so thin it gets blurry to look at it. Put to wide and its too freaking wide. Please change it back to pre blood before you nerfed it once again.

This gets so SIGNED !!!! I can read the font, yes, but it sucks and I need to focus to be able to read it. Not to mention that my eyes tend to pop out and knck me out of existance after some time playing, plus I have to agree with a poster above that I do get a headacke readin the eve font, which doeasn't happen with other fonts, and I do stay at least 8 complete hours in from of the monitor doin stuff.
CHANGE THE FONT
MAKE IT MORE READABLE

Verdana rocks!
CCP, fix the font issue, seeing the comparison on the third party website just makes it so clear that there is an issue.

It's not just the font itself. It's also the rendering engine for it and its clumsy antialiasing.
Improve the font rendering engine. Make AA optional. Give us a new font.
Bla-blah. As if anything's gonna change. A*****es.

Gotta love CCP approach to things like that - let's ignore it for long enough, and it'll probably go away. Kinda works, though: I wonder how many people don't post here simply out of feel of futility. Customizable interface... Yeah, right. We can't even get to change the font without breaking the EULA.

The new "patch" seemed to make it a little easier to read, but I want to be able to choose my font!
Moderated, nothing constructive in this repost either. |

Please CCP do either of this:
Fix the damn font.
Allow to us change the font without breaking the EULA.

There's a reason that Verdana and Arial and their clones are ubiquitous on the net. They're easy to read on computer screens. The RMR font has slowly improved to the point where it is marginally legible, but it's still an objectively bad font - many characters are difficult to distinguish from others, etc.
If CCP refuses to change to a better font, I wish they'd at least give us the option of modifying it ourselves.

I can read the text for the most part. My only problems are with O, 0 and D, all of which are indistinguishable. We should have the option to change fonts (just add it to the ESC menu)

Yes, it would be nice to have a drop-down menu with a selection of Eve fonts, or better yet just allow to use the Windows fonts.
OR
Modify the EULA to allow font changes, but that'll never happen =/
Personally, I'm visually impaired and even with my glasses it's difficult to read the text. It would be nice of CCP to accommodate for the handicap. |
