I got the game last winter but the fonts were so small I couldnt play it. They said at the time this would be fixed in a future patch but I never found anything. My feedback applies if the font is still the same. I couldnt play the game because it was so much harder to read then all other arpg’s so I refunded it. If you make the font more readable ot give us different size options or choose to have a option for traditional fonts I’ll buy the game again
i think adding the resolution you’re using and the size of the monitor would help the devs with your feedback.

Font is very blurry and small. Lots of people wrote about this even before the 1.0 launch and after. This is very important, eyes get tired quickly. New update is coming soon, will it remove blurring and text size settings?
I want to know this too. I definitely noticed vision changes when I played over the winter… and i have older eyes too. I mean, this can’t be good for people’s eyes in general even when they’re young.
I just hope it’s coming this patch because this is sadly a dealbreaker for me for 1.1. I love the game and the new stuff looks really cool but I just can’t do that to my eyes again.

I’ll never understand why games insist on using their own hard-coded fonts. Restricting font size? Makes perfect sense: I’ve seen this in Grim Dawn where great-looking user fonts are too big and screw up some of the dialog boxes. But if I had the choice, I’d switch to my current desktop font (Open Sans) in a heartbeat.
LE didn’t had its own font until one of the major updates. I cant remember if it was a 0.8.X or 0.9.X patch.
@EHG_Mike explained once why LE created its own font. I think the main reason was to make tooltips much better and how they want to do them. Using pre existing fonts gives you quite some limitations. Also not all fonts are license free so its also a 
thing.
Creating your own font is quite some work, especially when supporting multile languages.
But I remember Mike talking about it and at the time it made sense for EHG. I can’t remember the details.
It was some combination of customization option for EHG, licensing and something else IIRC.
I seriously doubt it was a licensing issue; never heard of any program that is required to pay a fee to render fonts the user has already installed.
Don’t give MS any ideas. 
making your own font is a huge thing that cost a lot of money. this is probably why le wont go back on it but thge fact its been so long and they still make the game to hard to read for half their player base is worrisome. I want to give this game a shot because it looks kool but not with eye strain
Actually commercial products are required to license fonts … Fonts are intellectual property, and if you are going to be selling a product which includes someone’s IP you likely need a license.
Sadly nothing was added for ui scaling or font size in 1.1… devs said they’re working on it but I didn’t press for a time frame; figured they’re sick of hearing about it, but I’m also sure they can’t give one. I’m pretty bummed about it though.
I’ll probably play 1.1, primarily because they buffed one of my favorite classes, but if I start having vision issues again, I’ll have to call it quits until they fix it. Which I don’t want, but I also don’t want to get lasik surgery again.
