It is currently not possible to toggle between the new font and the old one. While we appreciate that this is something a lot of people are asking for, it simply cannot be done in the current font rendering system.

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.

There was a font specialist who made the font. I didn't make it myself

We will of course do our best to address all issues that have been raised here (other than the "OMG THE FONT IS UGLY" and other alike).

There won't be a way to use the old font and there won't be a way to select fontsize. That's because it's hard to maintain that in a UI window, if you make the font larger, it's not going to fit there anymore. UI Scaling would be a better way to sort issues with the fontsize, but that's another project.

The spacing of text in certain areas -- In some elements there is just too little room around the text. See for example the augmentations tab in the character sheet . Or the number of people in a chat channel: Corp [123]. The spacing looks goofy there. Just like the numbers of stacked items in the hangar. And there are a lot more places where this weird look exists.

now i live also in the philosophy "function before looks" but i find this new font to be both: bad looking AND worse to read...

the old one was perfect no problems reading of any kind, if you did you should've bought reading glasses or what ever.

How come ccp decided to change the font?

I never really got that, the old one was perfect no problems reading of any kind, if you did you should've bought reading classes or what ever.

This just doesn't make much sense screwing up Eve online even more!

Agreed. People have had the option to see the new font for a long time. They asked for feedback before it went live for a reason.

Wow I have rarely seen more idiocy in a single topic.

The new font went on Sisi a LONG time ago. You choosing now to complain about it now instead of after CCP asked for FEEDBACK when it went on the test server instantly invalidates your arguement.

CCP keep the new font. It is fine.

QFT. From both of you.

Closest match to pre-crucible font / window size settings can be obtained by using 90% scaling (from esc menu) + small font option (from overview settings). However some text areas become too small and for example reading how many items are in stacks could be little tricky on smaller monitors. Nothing you couldn't live with though.

Using 100% scaling you may encounter some problems fitting all your windows as they were (in space).

90% scaling makes things like your gun icon's ammo count numbers look like ****.

Sadly the new font is next to impossible to read for me :( I am really struggling to find a clear way to explain it but something about my dyslexia makes it so i have to work out every word character by character rather than being able to quickly look at the word and recognize it.

Anti-aliased fonts would be handy as it would soften the edges making each character more distinct, if I cant have the old font back or toggle between them, maybe we can add that without much effort. I could also really use some Kern spacing control as many of the characters seem to be stuck together making reading even harder. Again maybe that is something that can be added without lots of overhead.

Overall, font is worse for me :(

Yep... Like I said - that is one of the side effects of this.

The root cause is that the default font size was increased making many windows little bigger. Default font should have been same size than the old font keeping old windows intact. Scaling should have been used only to make standard windows together with the standard font bigger.

Anyways... 90% + small font in overview makes the thing usable. You can always hover over stacks to get some clarification about the amounts in them.

The new font is such a step backwards towards the stone age.

I can understand this type of font development when first computers where just invented, but we live 2011 with technology, graphics, interfaces advancing in a very fast pace - each time creating something beautiful and genius, but this font is not it - and totally out of pace.

Looking at this font for the first time I'm thinking "IS THIS A JOKE?"

Font scale in menues, in local window, in right click bookmarks is different everywhere, each time requiring visual re-adjustment.

Font Expert's first priority should be user friendliness and usability - font should scale and be readable in many sizes.

The biggest problem is each area you look at requires visual readjustment, this font is not user friendly - it's hostile.

I think CCP should immediately roll back to old fonts, and let their font expert finish the work on the test server.

I rate this font 1 on a scale of 10.

Old font I'd rate 7 on a scale of 10.
