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

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.

QFT. From both of you.

Tippia, saying you never un-dock is no ad hominem,

For example. How am i to warp to a wreck in a battle when i can barely see the wreck?

Your answer is to use 100 percent scaling

Numbers don't look great but now I'm getting used to it, it is not as bad as I thought it would be..... if that makes sense.

Fair play Punkturis, you did your best but were always up against a hiding changing something so fundamental in game without making it optional (for the more conservative, change resistant bunch...like me!)

I think CCP should give it a couple of weeks at least and see before doing anything knee-jerk.

For the record, I undocked and went to the closest belt to give a picture of what I play at: 2560+ù1440 @ 27"; 90 percent scaling; 10pt font; small overview. Maybe I'm not seeing these issues because I have plenty of real-estate to play with, and the new options give me even more. The overview is small but readable (thanks to a decent enough screen surface area) and provides plenty of room for the information I need. Nigel then undid my scented saffron pantalones and greedily ate my panecotta; which I considered to be quite rude .. well to begin with

Yes it is.
You're making the implicit argument GÇ£you have no idea what is needed on screen because you don't undock, so your view doesn't countGÇ¥ GÇö that's as classic an ad hominem as it gets. You're also making some pretty silly assumptions to base this fallacy on.

Wrecks are still easily identified at 90 percent scaling.

Poor CCP. They get yelled at for old font. They change it, allowing player feedback every step of the way. Font goes live. They get yelled at again.

Seriously people ?

Incorrect, classic ad hominem is, "you smell like poo, so you dont have a clue about fonts".

As for wrecks, not as easily pinpointed or clicked on as they were. Now how about containers. They are much less noticeable at 90% and their white circle is at best grey.

As for your real estate, possibly. [GǪ] All of which i had no problem fitting all this on screen with the old font and was perfectly legible. New font is a compromise between legibility and space. Unacceptable for anyone who makes use of a lot of their screen for data.

You know, id be happy(er) if they just made it so the icons and various other things didnt scale with the UI.
Id be even happier with a decent looking font like the old one.

pls add at least an option to choose or if that's not possible change it back, ty.

you don't see decimals at all and everything looks like ms-dos 20 years ago...

Jeez -- you can't listen to other people at all can you. 2560+ù1440 @ 27" and you can't understand what normal lower life mortals use and are whingeing on about??

It's readable.......

wow you have known this was coming out for about a month and you choose today to complain about it? Seriously forum warriors?

Theres only one version of ad hominem, something else would have a different name.

As for cans, Im now certain that you have never even been in a medium or even small battle.

As for customisation? I can either have a large font that takes up lots of space that would otherwise be useful to display more information. Or i can have the font scaled down to look better and give me useful space back like more overview rows but at the cost of clarity on icons in space and overview. Not sure how you cant see this is a compromise or take my word for it that this was not a problem at all with the old font.

Here is my old overview that i tailored and loved so well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79Xj_SqQo0Q

Don't care if possible or not I want an option for the old font. This hurts my eyes.

2560x1440@27"...... sounds like a Mac to me.

It's not a good font. There is no proper distinction between capital and lower-case letters aside from size. Proper lower-case letters are far easier to read than upper-case ones (more distinguishing cues, so less information needed to process, so quicker to read). It also falls into the same trap as the old font, with very little or even no distinction between similarly shaped glyphs (O0, B8, 5S), which gets increasingly worse at lower sizes.

Soon I will have to wear glasses because of this UI.

Abloobloobloo!

Also, an option to select font size would be nice. We're not all 67-year-olds with sight problems or playing on our 3 mobile mobile phone screens.

I love the new font. It's legible.

So made it possible. Dont you have any programmers?

i don't know how you even can say the new font is much more readable. you don't see dots at all. everything is clustered together due to it's size. stacked items in inventory are absolutely horrible to read... the ammunition count in the mods section is also very unreadable.

granted, for poor eyes it may be much more readable now like the guy said he can now read it even without glasses (btw i would wear the glasses still else you will hurt your eyes even more...)

and it's just pure ugly... 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... you even have to enlarge the chat window by factor 2 that it becomes readable...

and sorry i would have said something earlier but i was busy playing the game. i play actively since like 3 months and i have still so much to explore i wouldn't even know why i should play on a test server...

edit: i play on 1920x1200 windowed, on my second monitor there is another instance of eve running in 1280x1024, there the new font's are kind of ok as it is farther away from my head to the side but for my main screen it's just

I happen to love the new font. I don't understand what the problem is.

Personally, I hate the new font. I had the old font for 8 years and, it's not so much that theres something wrong with this font, its just that there was nothing wrong with the old font. At least we deserve the option to choose, it has such a huge impact on the game and has completely ruined my overview (atleast for the time being).

Lots of lovely graphical changes (which really are quite something), tarnished by this horrible font.

Either give us a choice, or give us the old font back.

And pinning windows. I liked pinning windows.

Make a new one then -_-
