  • I agree something is changed and harder to read.

  • I don't think so. It looks like an Ubuntian font, so at first I thought it was my computer. But then I heard Global ranting on about it.

  • I prefer the older font myself, it looked crisper and more friendly with Cleartype (and the other subpixel font smoothing techniques used on other operating systems). The new font looks distorted and doesn't take font smoothing nearly as well.

  • It would be SO CUTE if they used that new BUBBLE FONT on the street signs!  Don't cha think Innie?

  • I just wanted it stated that new street font is blurry.  Im sure will be great, once it can be read.  I am not mentioning the other fonts in game, for a reason.

  • Shhhh!  Innie!  If we complain they're going to change all in-game fonts to Curlz MT!

  • its beyond blurry!   I can't imagine how ANYONE can read that!   (don't want to sound complaining and all....)

  • No Innie!  I was just kidding- Curlz MT is the butt of my joke, not you!  Unless, of course, you designed Curlz MT- but I give you WAY more credit than that.

  • Yeah, it looks bolded or something? It's not rendering in a very legible way.  Guessing it is not a permanent change...

  • Oh, jeez, Innie, you're right :( I went in-game to see what it's all about, and it's really quite unpleasant!

  • I dunno. It's whatevs. I can still read it, but I'm playing on a giant TV, which probably makes a difference.

  • A developer told Global earlier that the font will be tweaked tomorrow.  Hooray!

  • Heard 3rd hand: Users who don't have the new font already on their computer have trouble viewing the street signs.  It is possible to correct the problem by downloading new fonts, but I'm not very interested in getting fonts just for Glitch.

  • I can see the font clearly, but the letters are very closely placed, making them difficult to read, regardless.  I don't like the change.

  • Font is blurry and hard to read and I don't like it.

  • I thought that the font was clearer, bigger, and easier to see. BUT when I do stop moving and squint at it, it does appear slightly blurry around the edges.

  • looks bad when nomally viewed. When the post has more than one sign and it enlarges when you mouseover, it looks even worse. Blurry on both counts  :P

  • oh so glad it's not my eyes. for a second I thought my vision suddenly gotten worse over night. :P

    the new font is BLURRY, fuzzy, unclear. I hate it. HATE IT! stop 'improving' things, it is only making them worse. gah.

  • It seems Mac users are seeing it properly, and it will be fixed for Windows tomorrow.

  • Keep improving things, it is only making them better. Yay!

    (I thought it looked blurry too, but you guys, TS is fixing it. You can't actually think that they would have a successful product if they never made any changes, can you?)

    ...wait, what was this thread about?

    Hi, Innie!

  • Thanks for reassuring me that I wasn't losing my vision. I, too, find the new street sign names blurry.

  • They must have brought on another new "dev" who had to be given something "important" to do.

  • gotta love blur!
    (I love a lot)

  • The new signs look particularly clear to me(osx+ LCD monitor), maybe the perceived blurriness is down to OS/monitor/smoothing/onboard fonts or the Devs didn't check them out on other platforms before launching?

  • Update: Through the magic of computers and a series of trail and error tweaks, I now believe that the font-on-the-sign-post thing is in the past.
