Thread: About the new FONT
Q-3PO and I wanted to make a quick announcement about the new fonts.
Just so everyone knows, this is only a temporary font. With the European launch, we had to add the international keyboard support that contained new characters. ffice

The cool new fonts we're working on will be on Live Servers by the middle of next week.
Well the font is good as long as I can read it
This makes it INCREDIBLY difficult for me to successfully initiate an attack.
Anyone else have this problem?
And here was me thinking Keymaps and Fonts were independent of one another! It is a truly awful font.
To the person with the problem with the tilde key, you may be using a non-US keyboard (e.g. GB) which, technically, does not map a tilde to the key next to '1', it maps it to the key next to '@' - you should go into Options>Controls>Keymap>UI and remap the radial to the key next to '1' (which will probably show up as the angled apostrophe `) that'll sort out your problem out.
Why waste valuable developer time to make "cool new fonts" when the chef food bug is still in game? When harvesters broken in the October patch are still broken? When bounty hunter "white marks" are still occurring? When chemical dispersuion mechanisms cannot be experimented on by weaponsmiths? In essence, while there are still so many annoying, and in some cases game breaking bugs in the game?
SWG is losing subsciptions daily because of an apparent lack of focus on things the gamers feel is important. Please, lets squash these bugs before we add new things, I would rather have a playable clunky looking game than a graphically stunning game that you are so frustrated with you no longer log on.

Well gee, thanks for fixing the "IMPORTANT" stuff in this game like fonts ...
Brilliant, there, Ibicus. The font they -were- using didn't support some european languages, so they switched to a font that does while they develop one that will work for everyone and still look nice.
Of course, I suppose you wouldn't think it was so minor if all your letters came out as those null-character empty boxes, or as all ee's.
eeee eee.

Thanks, i hate this new font!!!

My guess is the people making new fonts (artists) wouldn't know the first thing about fixing bugs in the code base.
