ZOS_GinaBruno · January 30

Please report any issues involving the new UI font rendering in this thread. In general, we prefer you to use /bug in-game but if you’d rather submit a report here, please give us as much information as possible, including screenshots and/or video if applicable. Thank you!

I found the new font a bit harder to read, it’s very thin.

It looks thinner yes, not only the ZOS fonts but the custom fonts used in my addons look thinner after the conversion to slug.

Whatever you did, please revert until it can be made as easy to read as it was before. The font is so thin it appears very blurry, which is causing major eye strain and inducing headaches. The only workaround I've found is to turn off custom scaling, but I have the scaling set very specifically so things are arranged as similarly as possible in keyboard and gamepad modes, since I switch between them constantly. This is a major step back in terms of accessibility for me.

Info from dev (ZOS) SethL:
"A couple of fonts had a bug where outlines were missing, and the fix probably has not made it up to PTS yet"
That's why we see them thinner.
So these will probably be fixed next PTS patch

As of 3.9.1 it looks like the font problem is solved except for Handwritten_Bold (maybe you didn"t see it because you don't use it with outlines in game)
