I actually like the look of the font. Unfortunately, it is slightly harder to read than the previous font.
@Wadiest_Yong Yeah, some font options would be nice.
The font runs together too much. It is fuzzy/blurry.
Why did you do this CCP?
Why make chat harder to read? I tried upping the size of font in chat but short of making it XBOX HUGE (Font size 20 vs 12 which I was using).
WHY?
The NES Store font is good
Yet the game front is bad for the eyes
/
Which game file can we edit to set frontsize to 20?
All I want to do is read the market prices
Letās say it again.
This change did not have to be polarizing. The implementation of that design choice is why it is polarizing.

We are closely monitoring your feedback and are going to be tackling specific issues with overlapping text, blurriness of the bold font or spacing of characters that you have been speedily reporting. Please continue sharing your feedback and letting us know exactly what issues you are having with the updated font style, so we can pass it back to the team.
So, likeā¦ how does this gets reported countless of times on SISI, someone on the CSM is aware of it, but still makes it all the way (clearly unresolved as you admit @CCP_Dopamine) to TQ? Thereās clearly rendering issues, thereās weighting issues (with bold, coloured, italics text), thereās blurriness and issues with anti-aliasing. How does that slip all the way past any quality control in a game that is 80% text!!! In the same patch when you release an entirely non-3D and text mode even.
It beggars belief.

Hi Res Displays might benefit from this OFC but average resolutions of letās say 1920*1080 are in ABYSSAL shet. Small fonts gives you back EVE, mostly, but the right click menu too will be shrinked to āI need magnifying glassesā now. Plus I canāt freaking understand why you FORCE US to swallow all these changes without giving us an option to just NOT use them!!! FASCISTS!

everything looks fine to meā¦
These changes donāt need to be polarizing, the method in which you introduced them however.
If multiple players are reporting physical discomfort and experiencing eye strain and headaches there is something clearly wrong, and itās not just āchangeā

Just a personal opinion, but my old eyes find the new font much easier to read.

Personally I like the new font better than the old one, took a few hours to get used to but then again the whole game takes months to get used to. Iāve not found any issues with it so far.
Yeah the new font is bad, i listed it in the known issues thread but i imagine CCP in their infinite wisdom think this new garbage font is somehow an improvement

I spend half of my time on the market window, now i canāt remain on the client for more than 15mn, after that it becomes tedious. I never tought i could stop playing Eve for such a trivial issue.

Odd how the human brain works, yesterday after login I thought āwow this new font is horribleā. A few hours later I thought āactually itās not so bad just needs to be a bit sharperā. Today I logged in and thought āwow this is so much better and more readableā.
I think the first negative reaction was just a novelty response. A bit more sharpness would still be nice but in general it was a good change.
