I noted from the forums that the fonts have changed and at least one person suggested saving the old fonts folder. ((Did that.))

What I would like to know is, will copying it back work, or will there have to be something else done?

thanks for any info

Just using the backed up font folder did not seem to work for me. :(

Thanks for the info, Neva, even though it is negative.

Now, if only a DEV or someone with real knowledege would reply with how to do it, we'd both be happy. :)

Is this something platform specific?

I don't know, but on my Windoz machine (Win 7 premium) the fonts all got thinner and harder to read. They're still sans-serif, but lighter.

Edit: I just did a side-by-side comparison of the font files in Data \ Fonts \ as of now and in the directory I saved. They appear identical, so there must be some other change that makes them look different in game.

Could be - I'm on a Mac and I haven't noticed a change in fonts used.

Simply adjust the font size from game config>Interface>Chat.

Had a talk with Ulukyn, the font is the same, just the rendering changed. I think it is looked into now. Check http://i49.tinypic.com/21jwsvr.gif for example before and after the patch.

Might be aliasing or alpha, something like this. But I agree the new font is somewhat harder to read. Noticed the change on windows client, can't say for other OS.

For some reason, i have them reading better than before.

I use MSAA and AF forced in my ATI drivers. at max.

Can you check if people having this isssue are all in windows and with ATI cards?

No knowledge of Nvidia, tho in the ATI drivers there is an option enabled by default that screw all fonts even in some windows application, such as Live series.

It's the morphological AA that should always be disabled.

Not sure if this can be applied, but is good to test if it can be the case.

Windows 7, but I have an NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti. If I understood all of what you said I might be able to do something. I have the card set to allow the program to control anti-aliasing and I don't see anything called Morphological anti-aliasing in the control panel.

Yep, I think that's an ATI feature. Dunno if exists something similar to NVidia, so, probably, the problem is not graphic driver related.
Unless you find something with different name, but same behaviour. If it exists, you could just goggle that AA and see if an NVidia equivanet exists.

Well, had to be checked.

I recently had this issue too when i installed the Catalyst center and it was definitely the Morphological anti-aliasing setting.

While I am sure that changing the anti-aliasing may have an effect on it, I have figured out what the base problem is. The game switched to a drop-shadow font, and in certain colors the drop shadow and the letter itself blur to heck and back. You can see this very clearly if you have a teammate (purple and really blurry) and then select her and maneuver her name until it's against the sky.
