Can we get a font that actually uses this masterful character again? I actually use this character, and its even on my keyboard. It amazes me that EVE supports cute little hearts, the "TM" symbol, and other wacky characters that I either don't know about or don't remember, but doesn't graphically distinguish the Tilde "~" from the Minus "-". Is this a hard thing to do? I mean, I like the Kali font a lot, but I'm tired of having to type longhand, when one character will do just fine.

I don't really need it, but we have unicode support so we should have it. And while I agree it is more usefull than 99.9% of the other characters (including the letter 'z', screw that letter) ♥ is best. So yea, if you devs get bored and it ain't too hard -- let's go tilde!

I'm not a regular tilde user, but it is useful when you're trying to give an estimate. Example:
I do about 500 DPS~
That tilde indicates "give or take", "approximately", "around", etc. etc. It'd be nice if people could see the poor squiggly.

Yeah I'm actually kinda disapointed in such a small thing Hahahaha... I don't really think it matters too much but I use it all the time to give an appoximate amount... haha... I always forget that it's a minus sign though... Hahahah Wow... I never thought anyone would care enough to bring it up... Hahaha... file a bug reprort :-P I think it'd probably be the 1st~ (in game I'd say 1st-ish) one they've recieved on such an important matter!

Yeah, I know its not really a "pressing" issue. There are some serious issues that I'd rather be fixed/tweaked than have a discernable tilde, but given that it seems like we change fonts every content patch anyway, I thought that I'd toss the idea in with the hope that someone in the decision-making group would see this and say, "Yeah, what did* happen here?" Or, maybe just realize that this game really is a math/economics game and that we should have a mathmatical way to show an approximation. It seems like the Kali 1 font has already been chosen, but maybe Kali 2?
