I HATE the new fonts!

Recently, the devs have started playing with new fonts. How they plan to implement them is beyond me but right now they've overwritten all the old fonts. My signs look like they belong in a Cesear's Palace Casino with that new font and the name on my Seamoth is almost unreadable. Even the Upgrade console has lost it's technical appeal. Overall, the new fonts do not fit at all with the game's theme like the old ones did.

If someone could take some before and after screenshots of these elements and post them here, that would be nice because, with my game UI still a mess since 29400, I'm not certain if anyone else has noticed a change in the fonts or if this is simply a glitch on my end.

But to put it simply, I want the old fonts back!

    We're changing the fonts to better support other languages, as the previous fonts did not.

    Please keep the feedback coming.

    I like Days One (the old font) too... But as Scott says it's a pain from a localisation perspective. I wonder if there's another font out there that could retain the Days One feel but offer full unicode character support?

    Personally, i like the new Font more than the old one. The new font seems much more cleaner and easier to read than the original one, but i guess its a question of taste in the end.

    I noticed the font thats on my wall lockers seems smaller now too? I have a lot harder of a time reading what I labeled my various wall storage without getting a lot closer to it. Perhaps the size needs to be upped a bit, or if its just that the new font is smaller, then a font choice that has thicker lettering or something.

    Agreed I loved the old font but understand the need for a new one. Hopefully the one being used now is changed or I get used to it. But days one font was definitely my favourite. What was the name of the font before days one. That one was very bold, just curious.
