Job well done...even if it takes us a few days to adjust!
Instruction for making the new font to not look like crap on your computer:
1) adjust ui scaling to 87.93%
2) set font size to 9.25 pt
3) download but do not install an Ubuntu USB distro
4) change ui scaling to 94.73%
5) whisper a prayer to Kali may she watch over us all
6) sacrifice a chicken and give a vial of the blood to the beggar at the nearest onramp
7) spend the next 8 years in a Turkish monastery while ccp catches up with the 1980s tech of multiple fonts and the 17th century tech of good fonts. |

There's a screen at 110% scaling 2560x1600: http://hakkarainen.kuvat.fi/tempo/spam2/eve_new.jpg
There's plenty of room and you can even see what happens around you if needed.
Sadly I didn't take a screen from the old font for comparison but it was so hard to read that it's not a big loss I forgot :D |

I'd be pissed if I bought a 27" or larger lcd to run 2560x1600 and still have a third of the screen taken up by the overview and still not have velocity or radial columns.

My only complaint about the new font is the uneven distribution of numbers. My wallet is hard to read because it is too closely spaced (when hovering over the toolbar), but when buying something the digits are far enough apart to park a Fenrir.
If I scale to 90% a lot of it looks better, but unit counts (ammo, ore, etc...) on hangar items become unreadable.
Overall I'd say it is a good start, but it need more polish.
Note to self, file bug report about putting things in a GSC, you get a badly coded error if you put prohibited items in one.

While not perfect, I find the font at 13 pt and scaling at 90% to be pretty good, and overall better than the old font.-á |

I like the new font, and support it's use. It's much easier to read.
But it will take some time to get used to.
Don't care one way or the other if an option is given to have old font or now, as I won't use the old.
On a side note, would love to have lokcing windows back. |

The screen is 30". Velocity should be there but I never remember to add it :P It doesn't matter though since you can do pve just fine without.
Why radial? |

I love the new font. The old one I had trouble reading at 1900x1200. The new font I have no problems reading please don't go back to the old font. If enough people hate the new font then maybe give them a option to switch back but don't change the whole thing back. |

new font is fine, shame you can't choose fonts though, When they were going on about fully customisable UI didn't realise they mean;t

make all text scalable
its simple
90% UI makes no difference when everything scales but the chat tabs
this is the problem, you can't get ALL OF IT looking good
you can tweek till you're blue in the face, but the scaling is useless unless you can adjust point size globally
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 |

Actually, i like the new font much more.
Edit: Also, I would prefer CCP to have their Developers assigned to more important things than changing fonts as we please. |

It's simply not possible -- there is no 'old font'. It wouldn't display correctly in Crucible's UI, so they removed it entirely.
:Edit: The new font doesn't hurt my eyes -- what gave me eyestrain was squinting to see the old one. |

I still find the old font much more legible ... not an expert on Typography so I can't put my finger on exactly what the problem is, but something about the size/shape/spacing of the new font just makes all the letters blur together when there are multiple lines.
Maybe it's something to do with the narrow width of the letters in relation to their height?
Unfortunately I don't have the screen space to increase the font size so I'll just have to put up with it (or not log in) until CCP fixes it or until some clever person finds a way around the problem  |

CCP have once again listned to the crying extremely vocal tiny minority and ignored the majority. The Majority is always right. Always. |

I'm surprised that no one noticed yet that when you set-up the UI to 90%, the Can are all grey in the overview. |

That's exactly why the new UI is much much better. The letterforms aren't an embarrassment to every other alphabet in existence. |

I have to agree with this, but the font is pretty bad.
Supporters: "I can finally read it!"
Detractors: "It's ugly, amateurish, not scifi, wraps poorly, giving headaches and clashes with the EVE art style."
Again why the old font couldn't have been optimized for clarity* rather then scrapping it entirely for a rush job is beyond me.
(* Seriously? People had troubles reading it? Playing since 2005 no problem. If your upset because you need your glasses to read it: thats exactly what your glasses are for. We have poor vision, deal with it.) |

I have to say that I really like the new font too compared to the old one. I think it's ridiculous to get worked up over it. The readability is great, and it I can now comfortably play on my big screen TV when I feel like couch slouching over sitting in the captain's seat.
I have perfect eyesight, but the old font definitely gave me headaches trying to read it, especially on said big screen TV at 1920x1080.
People will have their opinions obviously, that is their right, but for disliking a lot of what CCP has been doing lately, I have to say good job for this one :) |

The new font for me is a DRASTIC improvement when it comes to reading lists.
Its worse for reading numbers and its certainly uglier.
but just for being able to read lists without my eyes hating me is worth it to me
