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.
The cool new fonts we're working on will be on Live Servers by the middle of next week.
wow.... been a *realllyyy loonngg week*. *cough*... i noticed we got new fonts for the planetary map.. whoopie..... but the chat fonts are still TERRIBLE! 
for those who dont notice.. the new temporary font is only 1 pixel thick no matter how big u set the font size.... but on the old font, it would get thicker when u made it bigger... it was ALOT easier to read.
plz dev's... bring the old font back for january update!!

Another day closer to Lasik...
