    Well there you go. They had to change the font for legal reasons. Can everyone stop complaining about the font change and why they are spending time on it now?

    Yeah, those diacritic marks - especially the umlauts - are way too small for someone with my eyesight to read easily.

    This new font is pretty cool, and it's pixelated; that's a plus, but the old one fits a bit better. I don't like it very much, but that's just because I'm not used to it.
    I really like the little emoticons though, great job! :lickitung:

    If there's one thing I don't quite agree with, it's the part where U+00AB Left-Pointing Double Angle Quotation Mark is a heart. No love for U+2665 or U+2764, I suppose, and now a whole lotta people can't write quotes the way their language dictates. Like in French, Italian, German, Danish, Swedish...

    And I say this as a Dutchman, whose language dictates "".

    Really digging the increase in font-weight in this new typeface. Now we can all go boldly where no man has gone before.

    I totally understand losing the original font for legal reasons, though. Being a web dev, I generally just stick to Google Fonts for projects due to how up front they are with the fonts being licensed as fair game on commercial projects, but it definitely lacks in variety compared to sites like DaFont.

    The new font is cut off sometimes at the right side of items.

    Thats OK!
    More Fonts incoming?
    And the community can make custom fonts?
    What about HUD? The community can make custom HUDs?
    *Dat alot of questions*
    And someday in some future we got Steam Workshop support? For installing mods or suggest something?

    Your future-visionoscope is faulty. I'm pretty sure it would be Dysenteric Unicorn, lastest in a long line of really sick unicorn version names. ^^

    Edit:
    Custom HUDs may already be possible (Or maybe not, and just custom dialogues), and the font was always replaceable, being a TTF file.

    And I will fight against it until the day I die.

    Presumably at the hands of those I have corrected.
    I hated the DPS changes in Gouty Gorilla. The game was at its best when it was still Phlegmy Ptarmigan.

    I'm still way too proud of Overly-attached Ocelot.

    A bit off-topic... Anyone else thinks that vehicles as a tech seems like a bad move? It's weird that you can just transform into a car at any time, any place. I would rather have a garage where to store my car, instead of just random boat spawning in middle of a room.

    They're actually planning to un-tech vehicles. It's something I'm looking forward to. Calm your clutch.

    Garage? So you need a garage and a vehicle on every planet? Kind of expensive, I think.

    A garage on the ship would be great. Maybe nice if you could choose a vehicle at SAIL which you can the use on the planet you visit.

    The planned vehicles are object-like, in that you can carry them in your inventory and place them in/remove them from the world with your matter manipulator... or just enter them and drive them away.
