I like the font, thankyou Jeto. Tell the Devs, thanks for a fun change. Shame they nerfed, the Friday mythic. I guess, they randomly choose, when to listen to Scrooge and take the fun from the game. But the font is good, very Norse RPG like. ---

And only 1 person asked for the Friday mythic to be nerfed. That’s also time changing that code, that could of been fixing a bug. ---

Why do you change the font? I think there are lots of things you can focus on and deploy your resources on… things that enhance the gameplay or things that the fan base asked for. We create a list for game improvement so you can observe and get the idea of what your fan base is asking for. [Game Improvement list](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/game-improvement-list/83126) It is really sad to see that you totally ignore and continue to ignore. really disappointed. ---

Ow, my eyes. The Bad Font League called and wants their mascot back. Seriously, this is next to impossible to read now on a small screen. It’s somewhat baffling that there was apparently time to change something that didn’t need changing at all, and zero time to at least get a second oponion whether any sane person would actually do this change. ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/4/2/42c8a59ced3cf81e7b8f1b0c0e624dd35bb683e8.jpeg) ---

I don’t like the new font, it hurts my eyes. I also vote for bringing back the old font, which I think is much more readable. When making changes like this, it’s best to give the user the option to change it; otherwise, it’s best not to touch anything unless everyone loudly requests it. ---

Companies don’t work like that. Not to say designers have nothing to work on, yet they crave for their salary and bonuses. You HAVE to change things noone asked u to in order to get promotions. ---

Whoever thought this font is a good idea on a phone-sized screen - they’d better have another thought coming soon. ![1000065379](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/d/5/d503fa9d8a8c7a6b12729f7fe4dc764911687bbe.jpeg) ![1000065380](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/d/7/d71d64ad47beb9e1cebeab52bf045f675f454677.jpeg) Do we need a magnifier to play GoW now…? 😥 Please, bring back the legible font. ---

+1 not-a-fan of the new fonts I find the text more difficult to read now, but I’ll allow the possibility that that’s just because I’m not used to the font and it will get easier as I get used to it. Kinda funny though, seeing the new font immediately reminded me of something I’ve seen before 😉 ![45d3c68f32f2f09ac2a44313388570a0984184c0](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/6/0/60bc7a895eeb8108029622c26b2bb1411e834acd.jpeg) ---

> [@Fourdottwoone](#): > > and zero time to at least get a second oponion whether any sane person would actually do this change. I want to believe that this was a change to the game’s single “default” font, and that the hundreds of references (throughout the UI) are not (yet) properly tagged for whether they are a “title” element (which **can** afford to use a decorative font) or a “body” element (which cannot). In other words, this is not actually as simple as it looks on the surface – though it’s still something they shouldn’t have “just” rolled out so soon. ---

If you can’t fix it, f8.8nt it. This patch should save GoW. No doubts about that. ---

I’m curious. When can we expect all the forum and help-pages to move to a similar unreadable font? When will bug reports and replies move to a font that nobody can read? Would make it much easier for you to ignore players complaining. ---
