2. New font is bad - explain why it is fail:
First of all it is broken at the corners, which makes it harder to read than the old expanded font.
Secondly it scales wrong. At UI scale 90% it becomes so wrongly rendered it's scrambled and unreadable.
Thirdly it is not even optional. |

1. Font is good. It solves the reading/differentiation issues of the old font and is actually scalable.

I have mine in UI 90% works perfectly well and is very readable on my screens. |

New font Fails- It is too big, blocky, and looks blurry/low-res. The old font looked crisper and sleeker, as well as fit better with the rest of the UI. |

1. New font is good - explain why you like it:
New font has classic good looks - does not sacrifice readability for gimmicks like 'looking sci-fi'.
Finally abandons the all caps style of the previous font which vastly improves reading and comprehension speed.
I was initially skeptical of the new font, but after playing with it on Si-Si and now seeing it in production, I am very happy with it and congratulate CCP on a job well done.
Source:
Quote:All-capital print greatly retards speed of reading in comparison with lower-case type. Also, most readers judge all capitals to be less legible. Faster reading of the lower-case print is due to the characteristic word forms furnished by this type. This permits reading by word units, while all capitals tend to be read letter by letter. Furthermore, since all-capital printing takes at least one-third more space than lower case, more fixation pauses are required for reading the same amount of material. The use of all capitals should be dispensed with in every printing situation.

The new font is much better.
If I spent 30+ minutes working on the market with the old font, my eyesight would be blurry and my eyes would hurt. Now, I can sit at a comfortable distance from the screen and not have to strain to read things.

B 8, OD0, and 6 G are all different, as opposed to a blob of pixels now. This is a good thing. Whiners can GTFO. |

2 - New font fails. It's too blocky and clashes with the UI. When I think of eve and the futuristic world I think crisp, sleek, and modern. The new font reminds me of the crap fonts we used to have on our computers 10 years ago. As soon as I logged in I literally said WTF?! because of the font. Worst case scenario would be to give us the option to change font, dont know how hard it would be but it would make the people who hate and love the font happy... win-win all around. |

It scales very nicely on my monitor |

^^ this.
Blah blah wah wah new font isn't purdy nuff, it's not shiny silver and metallic like I expected the surrealistic, futuristic version of my private Eve to be, boohoo. Stfu. It's legible, not the migraine-inducing crap we had before. Nuff said. |

At 52, with varifocals, you have to get the screen in the right place to read stuff, this is much much better.
For those who haven't got this yet, by the time you hit 45-50, you will, readable fonts FTW |

New font + 90% Scaled UI + my ancient 32'' LCD that does 1280x1024 makes me a very happy panda. I almost feel like im playing on a proper monitor again and I can fit more useful and clear information into the same space as before.
All hail the new font and scalable UI.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.
One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear. |
