With season 2, STO now has a new UI font, that is *MUCH* more bold and filled than previously. It's a lot messier and it's harder to make out the lines in the text. Please consider scaling down the boldness of the UI font to make it easier to read.
Fonts like Arial Bold (for example) isn't used for bodies of text for a reason. :P
PS. Champions Online replaced their awesome font with a new hard to read blurry one a little over a month ago and has not improved yet. I don't play that game no more..
Use a font in the Century Gothic family at least, if you want to use a bold font. It is much easier on the eyes and has a nice look even when AA'ed.
I have good expiriences using variations of Century Gothic, and if used in a color that is contrast with the background, it is made even easier on the eyes
Yeah, it's horrible! Looks like a naff cartoon, now. In fact, I only logged on here this morning to make this very point! What was wrong with the way it was, before?
This new font is worse then the old font but the old font wasn't without problems.

All looked the same.
These are only a few of the problems that existed with the old font.
So what Cryptic needs to do it to pick a commonly used font, like Arial that is easy on the eyes.
This.
New font is much worse, but frankly the old font needed help. What's worse is that the problems in the old font still persist in the new font, making the new font 100% terrible.

Possibly, I guess I got used to the old one. I much prefer it to the new one, I wonder why it isn't simply an option to keep the old rather than the new?

As weird as it sounds, it would be my reason to cancel! It causes severe eyestrain (everything looks like a big blur!)

I want a new font that can be read without straining my eyes.
Neither the old or the new fonts are any good.
