Finally Europeans will be able to use the \ key and get different coloured signs!

I agree. I like the current font as well. Anti-aliased fonts really have no place in a computer screen environment.


I actually thought the new font was an upgrade to improve readability/usability, because it does improve those two things.

No, the fonts are just fine. Change back to the bold player titles, bold bubble text, change the vendor text back to the NORMAL style (not bold).

I am very happy to hear about the new font. The old font was way too powerfull and needed badly to be nerfed.

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.





So does that mean that I'll finally be able to use backslash? Quite annoying to not be able to use several letters or keys just because I have a danish keyboard...

Too bad all you complaining clowns suffer of readitis selectiva!


The european servers are live. European people are playing. Some countries in europe have special characters. The old font didn't support it, but the new one wasn't done. What would they do? Use a regular Windows font until the new one is done. Is that so hard to grasp? Apparently, regarding the bitching going on currently over this non-issue.

So... if you knew you were going to have to had international support, why weren't the "new fonts" ready to go when you made this change?

/shakes head

Do you guys do ANY PLANNING at all there?
