    Default Change it back. Please.

    Why did the font of the in-game scripture things have to change? It looked at least lore-friendly, now it just throws me off. I get that the UI changes changed some of the texts, but this is just unnecessary.

    This is actually pretty game immersion breaking.

    Would like it changed back, thank you.

    I'd rather not have it changed as it now at least is readable.

    The old font was terrible. Too small and unreadable. The new one is not the best, but at least readable. Not signed.

    I preferred the old font.

    I preferred the old font but then I don't have visual or reading issues like dyslexia.

    Best option would be a UI font option/size slider for in game notes.

    Maybe changing the fonts is the first step in a long process to add UI scaling.

    Yeah, old one was more aesthetically fitting for the game, but was also essentially unreadable. The net result for me was that I've got a habit of ignoring all text. So much so that I just plain didn't notice any change in the font. I suspect that's too ingrained now to change, but if they want things to be read, a readable font is a critical first step.

    Was going to say the same thing. Hopefully so.

    The old font was certainly more immersive, but the new font is superior for accessibility reasons. I think a checkbox in the settings to switch between the two would be excellent.

    Gods I hope so... My GPU does a decent job scaling up to 4k, but not as good as the game in native 4k.

    No one gives a bent copper if they just scale up the icons with bad resolution. We play for the game and the experience, not pretty little 50x50 pixel squares.

    Yeah old font is better stylistically but if it was difficult for reading that this is a positive change

    The new text is much more readable. I stopped reading old text years ago because it was so hard to read and not essential for gameplay

    immersion is was less important than usability and playability

    Now, who knows, I might change my years long ingrained habits and read stuff

    Sounds like what would actually satisfy most players is a UI option to select between the old font, and something that scales up to 4k and remains readable.

    Let's hope that adding an option was actually the Devs' first choice, but the antiquated engine just made it impossible to implement. Because choosing not to add an option if it were possible would indicate a certain lack, or at least lapse of competence.

    Opinion is clearly divided here. Is it too much to ask to let us pick fonts, so everyone can have one they like?
