Is there such an option for all UI windows?

Is there such an option for all UI windows?

Even though I know the change might be awful for some people, my 23 Inches LCD at 1920 over 3 feet from my leather couch and hence me say Thanx, I can finally read. No more squinting. I just hope this new font enables people to add diff types of it to the whole UI instead of just the new one. I for one would love ol'trusty arial to the ui.

Not yet but might be added later.
keep asking for it

No, this is quite possibly the worst decision CCP has made. The old font was fine. if you had difficulty reading it maybe you need glasses or somthing.

Mate, no one says that change is awful, it's not playable on 15"... that is 8" diagonally smaller then your screen. With font like this, there is barely screen left to play or see new effect of warp/mwd etc...

The font is fine... People forget the reason for the font change and that is to increase scalability of the game itself.

As a player who plays eve on a very large TV, the old font was unreadable at best. I would have to get 3 inches from the screen in order to vaguely make anything readable.

On my TV i set my UI scaling to 110% and it works perfect, while on my monitor I set it to 90% and it looks okay. Now I would however like to get the fonts even smaller on my monitors (non TV's) so having an 80 and 75% UI scale would be a good thing.

But in really the whole 'i hate this font!' is nothing new, we've hated the old font for years and now you hate the new font. CCP will never be able to cater to everyone, nor should they. With this patch the new font is all about UI scalability, and that functionality works surprisingly well. So great job on that CCP - much appreciated.

For all you whiners out there, scale your UI down to 90% and if the chat fonts are still too large click the a- button on your chat windows to reduce the size and it looks great. That is until CCP implements or decides if they implement different scalability options.

If that doesn't work for you and you still want to act like stupid insolent children feel free to visit the account management page and cancel your subscriptions and never play EVE again. Honestly, no one will miss you and your disappearance from the game will only make EVE a better world for the rest of us.

Thus far, great job on the patch CCP! Excited to see more of this new side from you, hope it continues in this positive way for many patches to come!!

oh yes it is.

As a graphic designer you should take care of each and every customer.

Also you should know that letter spacing should be same no matter what size.

Unbelievable comments... no one hates new font! It is a good thing, but for some people. For others game is not usable! How can't you understand this before answering? Can you hook up with 15" screen and see what we are all talking about. Lower resolution to approx 1200 or 1300 pixels width and see what we are talking.

Of course if you not using EVE as a chat application only this is a good change.

first of all as a graphic designer you should know your audience, and if the audience you're delivering information to is 300,000+ individuals who play a graphically intensive video game in 2011, you're not going to be designing for a 15'' macbook. This font solution has immensly fewer legibility issues for a far larger portion of the people playing this game.




i really lolled at this. where did you learn this little "fact"? because that's definitely not the case. letters occupy space differently and interact with the characters next to them differnetly, spacing every character the same looks awkward and hinders legibility.

so in conclusion, you're a ******* ninnie.

Nope, just added for the overview because as that fine man said, it's one of the most important window in the game and some people display more columns than others there

So no one hates the font? What about all the posts and messages in game stating 'I hate this new font!'?

Also, if you have a 15 inch screen you need to seriously rethink owning a computer at all. If you own a 15 inch screen tell your mommy to take you to best buy and get at least a 20 inch screen for 100 dollars...

And last but not least, if you're paying 15 dollars a month to use eve as a chat program you may as well sign up on eharmony instead. or better yet, facebook is free!

There's an option in the overview settings to use small font

@Punkturis can you show me a screenshot? I am blinded by the new font and I cannot see this option ;-)

So now "butter bei die fische" I don't like the new font. it hurts in my eyes. after I start the game for the first time after the patch it was like a burning hot needle stich in my eye.

I don't understand what is so difficult to implement an option for font changing? or at least to change the size!
The font size in the contex menue you can change but not for the UI font. That's not consequent!

Now I tried it several times but I don't get familiar with this new font too big and hard-edged. It's unplayable.

I want back the old font or at least the option to change the font.

Old Font: Crisp Clear fitted game well. 0O S5 1I B8 etc etc too similar to allow free flowing reading of system names or anomoly index etc

New Font: Cartoony, does not scale well. but very readable.

To the people saying: "what was the issue with the old font?" SIGH:


its a big issue

lots of people hated the old font

I'm not going to talk about this with you any further because you are not in the 2011 year when everything is going handheld and portable. If you see this as OK letter spacing i feel sorry for your clients -> Wallet Spacing ... Also you should try to narrow down font in chat with their tool and see how font reacts.

Anyway... new font is a huge problem for a lot of people, it might be a lot better and good for some, maybe even for most of the subscribers but it's making a lot of people not able to play.

As a matter of fact it seems that you are still to young to know what you are writing about and you really should not post to these forums and make real issues look funny and insulting which is by the way against EULA.

As others have stated, the old EVE font was fundamentally flawed. This became very, very evident in Null or WH space where determining your system name/designation was well nigh impossible in many cases.

Drag the system name from top left into your chat. There you go. No more need to read the name.

Yes, I am too young to know what I am talking about yet I am not the one on a 15 inch screen now am I? The font is only an issue if you are too dimwitted to understand UI scalability. The font is only an issue if you have a computer that is about as good as a paper weight.

But font aside, and your tiny monitor (I don't think I have had a 15 inch monitor since somewhere around 1990?).. if the font is really the only thing people have 'issues' with, wouldn't you call that a blazing success for CCP given their past performances with patches? Because I certainly would.

Takes too long and distracts from other activities; not compatible with TS/Vent.
