I haven't checked the font myself just screenshots. My two main concerns were its cartoonish look but that's a matter of taste. What I have not seen addressed is if the width is going to break the overview. Early screens said yes. And that's a deal breaker. |

Stop whining over an old bad font, the new one is miles better, not perfect, but miles better, there's issues, I'm sure if they turn out to be true (as in, not manipulated like this thread op pictures) to make a point then they'll be addressed.
@op, I'm a developer too, I guess you are also or similar since you brought in PragmataPro to the thread (or you know someone who told you about that font), I value screen also, but I value my eyes better, instead of turning everything to midgetsize where you need a freaking microscope to identify stuff on the screen, try to buy a bigger monitor, makes wonders. |

New font is terrible.
I am willing to make paypal donations to anyone who can come up with a mod to change the new font to the old, or something better entirely. |

what fontsize are you using for your context menu? at least not the default one!
I would check myself to see what size is looking squashed like this but I'm at home and haven't gotten sisi set up there..
are you maybe scaling your UI to 90%? Yes, I'm using UI 90%. And menu size 9. The small fonts in chat (A- button) looks very nice compared to the same sized text anywhere else (the wide spacing is a NEED for the small text so +1 on that). Why you no make it universal? 90% scaling does not work the same as when you make the text smaller in chat. This has been stated a few times on the forums as has it been explained that 90% is for those who are willing to loose some readability to more window space. I think it's pretty unfair to post a pic of text where a lot has been changed in your settings (font size and scaling, specially 90% scaling) to prove your point of the font not being readable enough. If you want to use 90% scaling I recommend you use a larger fontsize in your context menus. fly safe and have fun ms.!
Owned! New font is great, thank you. |

The new font kind of reminds me of the old exodus days. As long as it is readable I don't really care. |

couldn't you tell that from what system you were jumping out of? only the first 2 letters matter anyway in null, and they are seldom repeated in the same system.
sounds like navigation fail
The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

If it does not work why you not make it work?
If I can see the good font in chat why is it not used else where in the UI on the same screen? Why is it not making sense?
Why make excuse? Why say "it's for those who want to give up readability" to make it sounds like a CHOICE? Are you not the one responsible to make it readable? It's on the same screen, why can't you make it work?

Where is my :Excellence:? Why am I wrong? You're not wrong. The response was a pathetic excuse. Hopefully it will be filed as a defect and be repaired in a follow up patch. Just be sure to file a bug report and get all your friends to do so as well. |

I hate this new font so much, that I'm seriously considering never playing again. This is a grade school font; not a spaceship font. I swear it feels like I'm in grade 6.

The slashed zeros are actually good, I like them. I just don't like the way the lettering looks, it's very comic serif looking. That's really my only beef with it.
I do appreciate the effort put into trying to fix up the fonts. Yes you absolutely can use the UI scaled to 90% if you mess with the settings a bit and everything will be readable. It's just the look of the font doesn't fit the game or the times. |

Didn't they learn anything from ship spinning?
Why not just hold off on the font until they can implement a method to let us choose a font to use rather than force this down our throats. Some people like brussel sprouts. I don't. |

New font is better. If you're not happy buy a monocle. A real one. Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try. |

The new font looked great in the limmited samples i've seen.
Legibility is the top priorty to me... but I really am into fonts in other things I do so I didnt really get enough to have a judgement.
This forum font is fine... there is just too much text in too many small windows (if you're a person that likes the market window showing 75 orders of yours and the first 40 buy and sell orders on your screen at once) to sacrifce legibilty for style.
As people will want the text as absolutely small as possible to be legible and yet still give the maxiumum information possible within a single glance the limit will always be pushed in a way that always keeps legibility far above styling |
