New EDEN update makes font look disgusting...

[EO 11230]

And here's a right forum for you https://www.reddit.com/

 

Mmm, not quite sure where your coming from friend, I have merely given a suggestion to ease the woes of the affected.

 

Thanks for the link tho' I'll be sure to check it out.  ;)

LOOKS FINE TO ME!  I can finally read the fonts.  This is a personal preference thing I guess.  I'm running ATI 3x monitors btw

[katipo66 94]

The original font was very good, nothing wrong with it, it was crisp, modern and easy to read and made the game feel very slick.

 

Sorry the new font looks like amateur hour, big step backwards imo.

[hcpookie 3770]

Agree to disagree :)

 

The font is bolder of course and that could lead to some resolutions causing a "fuzzy" look around the font.  That's part of the process

 

edit to add I for one can't stand the 2-point font size that was similar to the "warning label font" on some things... simply too small.  I have a huge amount of real estate on my screen and enjoy being able to use it.

 

Again, personal preference.  ;)

 

In fact, I'd love the ability to move those LH/RH UI boxes to the far ends of my 5760-wide resolution...

[froggyluv 2130]

I like it.

[grumpy808 21]

I like the font, but the kerning seems really tight. I understand why the devs might need to do this, but it definitely makes the font less legible.

[hcpookie 3770]

OK yes in some areas like the editor INIT dialog box there is a bit of fuzzy and it looks almost like the bottom of the font gets chopped off some.  In-game UI action menu is fine however.  The font is MUCH easier to read w/ its bold-face type, however, than previously.  So not perfect but still legible enough I can read it better than before.

 Here is the access code for the Legacy Build.

I'm flattered.

[Jackal326 1158]

Perhaps an option to select the font the game uses would be beneficial? Perhaps put said option in the GUI Customisation menu? Perhaps then everyone will stop complaining because they don't like change?

again, I asked for screenshots ... bug, w/o bug, toss it on Arma 3 Feedback Tracker and post here url to the ticket

then we can deal with it (e.g. if the antialiasing is bugged and make pass over fonts while it should not)

Here's a ticket with some screenshots.

[CaptainAzimuth 714]

After addressing my squad over the update, due to me being unable to test out the game for the next few months, they've brought to my attention that Font should be an optional thing. Naturally, everyone's eye's take certain things better (or worse) than other's. In short, having it optional to switch the font between the legacy version, and the new version, would be a much appreciated effort. However, i am currently unaware of any engine limitations regarding Font being an Option, but it's worth looking into. (to be honest, i had no idea the font... of all things... would be one of the main hit-points of this update)

[Izhevsk 11]

Anyone else having the new 3D editor constantly crash and be extremely clunky and unusable.

The new font looks just fine on my rig, does it not look like this for everyone else?  1920x1080 Small interface size

 

[ruPal 143]

19", 1280x1024, Normal UI size

Font looks horrible. All text is too blurred and condensed (text readability is worse than in 1.54), check screenshot, underlined the most ugly symbols . The only text that looks ok is main menu text on start screen. Cannot play Arma because of new font.

Other than it being small in a few areas, I had no problems with reading.  And what are you reading so much that you physically can not play the game because of the font?

Same settiings and it looks just fine for me too.

This is bad example for the Prosecution.........

 

How can you be mistaken for something that does not exist. 

[mistyronin 1181]

Likewise. Maybe it an issue with some resolutions & interface sizes?

If everyone who has issues with it post their specs, and game language, maybe we can help the devs.

I think he is saying that the new font is clearer for that example...

I agree with Misty.... we should probably collate some data on language and interface size...

[Beagle 684]

This. The difference between fonts is quite jarring, and the excuse that the old font made the distinguishing of certain characters difficult seems out of wack. An option to revert would be very welcome.

In fact it was nealry impossible to distiguish the 5 from a 6 with the old fonts. The current font used IS better readable and readbility should matter before "Style" in such a case. The old font was as hard to read as a death metal band name on a cover.

[ruPal 143]

Old font clearer. Symbols can be easily distinguished. New font much blurred, assymetric, condensed. They can be hardly read. I had to strain my eyes to read it. Game is no fun anymore. Words look like big blurred spots.

But "MX" can be easily read. Old font wasn't perfect but was clearer, you strained your eyes only really small text but now I have to do that to read most of the text in game.
