Why do you make a good patch and then let it down with something like FONTS!! LOL! Why change something that no one has a problem with? You just add fuel to the fire with every patch by doing stupid things like this.
A quote from my corpie "UI is fked up and the new font looks like something a girl would use on her blog lol"
Anyways Nice patch! apart from the fonts ofcourse... |

First, you mention fonts, and now you're talking about something that no-one has a problem with? What is that? It can't be the font, since it has been pretty much the most requested change for, oh, the last five years or so. The new one improves readability to a huge degree by offering some actual differentiation between similarly shaped glyphs. Functionality trumps looks.
Stop trying to act smart and come back down to earth please, The new font is a joke and there was no problems with the last font. |

People have been asking for an improved font for ages, and now we got one. The old font was awful in every way imaginable, particularly when it came to legibility and distinction of glyphs GÇö two things you definitely want in a text/numbers-heavy application. If you believe otherwise, you simply haven't been paying attention and need to stop acting like you know anything about the issue.
The new fonts are not improved, my eyes feel blury when i read it, its tiring... the new font also requires theuser to move their eyes more to read a sentance, how is that more user friendly?
Anyways if i could put a bet on at the bookies, CCP chaning back to the old font will be one of them. |

That would probably help you spot the glaringly obvious flaws in the old font too (not to mention the vast improvements the new one offers).

Why don't you try quoting my whole statement, instead of cherry picking bits to quote...

I see that some people like it. Hopefully CCP will just add an an option to select which font we prefer to use.
That's because your eye has to move more with this new font, an i think CCP haven't tested it on smaller monitors... |

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!!
Cool story bro, Normal people don't use TV'S toplay EVE. How many people use screens bigger than 21", i would love to know those statistics.
So change the font, for the small majority of whiners, whining the old font was to small.. |

I couldn't tell you how many people play on screens bigger than 21" but i'd be willing to bet that it's more than you think these days. But lets go to the other monitors on my other computer. That one has a 32 inch 720P and a 20 inch wide screen HP 2009m When i first logged into eve on that computer on the 20 inch wide, yes windows were big. When i scaled the UI down to 90% that helped A LOT. would like like to see it smaller on that monitor? absolutely, but at 90% the fonts and windows aren't so utterly huge that the game is 'unplayable' like many of these whining babies are making it seem. even IF the font was a huge mistake on CCP's part, the fact that the 'font' (read: users inability to understand UI scaling) is the only 'real issue' people are having. To me that says CCP has stepped up and knocked the ball out of the park.
So what your saying is you have to botch all the settings up to actually read crap? Not very good default settings, will scare all the new players off. This is the beginning of the end for EVE if these FONTS stay.

It feels nonprofessional.

What size monitor are you using? I'm using a 19" monitor and its way worse than that screen shot for me.
I said earlier on, looks like CCP hasn't tested it on different screen resolutions/sizes. |

Probably so, but i have better things to do than download the 4 gig sisi client and to then spend my free time bug testing. We pay CCP for that.
EDIT: However, i did download it a couple of days to test ride the new bc and to view the new scenery, but i do not download it for each expansion to test for bugs.
As the guy said below, we did tell CPP it was broke though i posted about it yesterday. |

All these fanboe are actually ruining the game, praising everything CCP does making them feel they have done a good overall job, i most cases this is true but not this one.
Anyways fix your font, you changed the font to benefit the nerds who were complaining a while back to make it bigger because they got big computer screens. And you have ****** all us normal computer users over, who have a normal computer monitor.
This new font will scare new players off, you wanna know why? if i just joined and seen that crap il turn away. everyone in our corp says the same. |

Every time a new player takes out a trial for this game you tell them that OK? This font is going seriously harm eves growth, all because some fat nerds complained the font was to small because they have go over the top with massive monitors. |
