OMG. I wonder why or how this Windings come about. I havent met anyone who speak and write Windings.
as RPing would go, I would say Wingdings are jovian code transmissions....

FWIW, my thoughts:
In the short-term, can the devs please rule that changing the font file is exempted from breaking the EULA - i know that a lot of folks are too spooked to do it while the GM's are forced to respond all 'fire and brimstoney' whenever they are asked about it.
In the medium/long term, add the ability to select fonts or font sizes to the UI.

I find the game very hard to read, yet other games don't suffer this issue. Its a bit silly of some posters to blame eyesight as the issue when clearly I can read word & excel documents just fine, and don't wear glasses at all.
But, the font in this game makes me squint and avoid reading. I tend to find myself looking up stats on websites out of game rather than using the info panel ingame simply because difference in readability.
Its an issue, and it should be resolved, and without threads like this one how would anyone ever know that many people don't like the font?

I only made the font variations as I found the current then / and now variations poor.
I honestly believe that as far as CCP go, as long as they state you are EULA breaking, they are happy. As it is costing them nothing in additional licences in using a "hacked" font.
Personally, I do not expect to see a new font for EVE for a long time.
All I have given players , is the chance to choose. Remember all the screen shots that have been made were 1280x1024 images with the font setting made to condensed. ( no clear type function was / has been loaded ).
To the people who asked for lucidia and othe variants . Im afraid I will no longer have the time to complete them, due to RL commitments. but I am sure some one else will / can do them. without too much trouble. :)
Thank you for all your support btw

Well I know that CCP messed with the file structure to make it more secure. The fonts might not even be in those files anymore and might be in one of the encrypted .ccp files.

One universe, one server, one font.
You will learn to like it. Or you will stop playing. Either way solves the problem and dev ego stays intact amirite? ¼¼;;

Devs,
As a new player, the font problem needs to be taken seriously. I have never had an issue with fonts before in any other MMOs or FPS games that I have played. For me, the Eve's "font issue" isn't a matter of style, but of legibility. The current font makes reading everything from corp chat to where I m in space, difficult and even painful at times. The spacing and skinny font is a strain to read and imho, really takes away from the beauty of Eve. Being able to read the game-font is fundamental to any MMO.
I hope the reason why CCP hasn't allow "custom 3rd party fonts" isn't because it doesn't fit perfectly inside the desinated box.
please allow us to change the font, either in-game or by 3rd party means.

Hi. The font has, in my opinion, been one of the worse parts of the interface since the first day I picked up the game. A few other options would be really, really swell.

Current font is too small (even when set as expanded, which overflows and whatnot in places, tbh) and difficult to read (O-0-D).
Make it selectable!

I don't even have a problem with the font and I recognize that this is an issue.
FFS, CCP. Please, just give people a way to put different fonts in themselves.
I'm sure things had to change for the move over to true unicode support, but c'mon.
This is one area where you need to take a BIG clue from Blizzard. Their UI has been editable by the community from day one and it was to the massive massive benefit of the community, the UI, and customer satisfaction.
How long does the crappy UI and forum stuff have to go on?
I think you could get 20 people to volunteer to opensource code up a new font for you with a single blog from a dev.
You've got 100,000 people ready to make your game better, use the power!

I'm currently running eve on a 1920x1200 native res laptop. CCP has broken 0lly's awesome font patch, and if CCP doesn't do something about increasing the font sizes then I'm quiting eve at the end of my monthly subscription. It is just not worth the headaches. Looks like i'll be going back to World of Warcraft to get my MMORPG fix, at least they know how to implement a simple "ui scale" feature.

OK, irrelevant of whether the font looks great on your PC, or looks utter crap, this issue needs to be addressed. There are enough people posting to make it clear that there is an issue, and although some seem to be 'anti change', I hereby lend my support to the already-proposed idea:
The End-User can choose which system-installed font is used in-game, including using the default CCP font if they so wish.

I have no issues with EvEs font and set it to as small as I can (even use the condence option).
TBH I like the font.

I agree. I can understand you had to change the font again, but atleast give us some options. This font is really a strain for the eyes, especially on higher resolutions.
The EULA argument annoys me, how can changing a font give someone an advantage over anyone else ?

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.

User-selectable fonts, maybe from a short list?
Everyone has different preferences, screens, visual abilities, etc.

Yeah I still can't get used to the font.
It's so unnecessary to make us put up with it as well. Providing no choice of fonts is really only a matter of design vanity, at this point. We would be happier with a choice of fonts even if the "easy reading" choice would not fit with the sci-fi motif of the game.
What use is attractive, sci-fi looking text that is largely illegible to a broad range of your customers, hampering their gaming experience?
Please allow us the option of choosing to submerge ourselves in the game by means other than the font.

I would like to have option to seleck font size in each windows diferently.
No it is very bad for me. If i want to be able to read the text withnout problems, I have to put minimal resolution = the overview window is teribly huge. But If I put the biggher resolution, then the overview window is OK, but Im almost unable to read text in mission briefing or chat.
So I will be very glad, If CCP makes the setting for font in each window (or at least most common windows). So I can use some big rosolution, but in the windows with lot of text I can make the font bigger and easy to read.

Hi all, 0lly here.
Alas havnt downloaded the new patch yet so I havnt seen the font.
Assuming CCP have yet again altered its font file / location . the only things I can say at this time is I will have a look into it.
I cannot say when as Im away working in RL at the moment and Ill be from my main workstation for a couple of weeks. But Ill have a go on my laptop.
Hopefully I may get a solution.

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.
