Perhaps I am the CNN of BNN here: Fair and balanced reporting. Yes, the font is horrible in some eyes, on some monitors. However, the fix is NOT easy, I am sure. Many aspects of the GUI, re-designed for OOTP13, would have to be re-re-designed to accommodate a different font.
The font they use is too skinny and faint, especially at lower sizes. Somewhere in
this thread, I put up a post comparing the fonts and you can certainly see the difference.
Markus alluded to the difficulty and to the availability of the work-around. This is to copy the vera font from OOTP12 into 13's font folder, choose a skin (dark one is best for this purpose) and stick with it (changing it with the old font installed leads to some funkiness). Is it perfect? No. But, I'm rather fastidious and yet it seems adequate to me. That is where Markus has left it and, to his credit, he did come forward and state his case so that we all knew the situation.

Hubris is Mozilla telling everybody that Thunderbird is for dinosaurs who use PC's and they're not going to develop or update it anymore. Hubris is Microsoft cutting off support for previous versions of Windows and making newer ones backwards incompatible for many applications (so, bye-bye Thunderbird in a few years). Hubris is e-mailing many other gaming companies about something and getting nothing but a canned auto-response, if that. Shall I continue?
