Font Selection
We really ouht to be able to choose a font. If we use one or two extra fonts it should be less memory intensive than putting our labels with custom fonts in graphics and using these graphics in place of text labels..
I didnt find any mention of 'Arial' anywhere in the XML, so I assume this isn't possible to do yet.
Arial font sucks badly, it is difficult to read at small sizes, Verdana is a much better choice imho.

CUSTOM FONT
Even better, we should be able to create a texture with a custom font to be used by the game.

Ok, so I'm just reopening the wound...hoping someone at SoE will start thinking about this.
We need some FONT choices in this game!
Even if it is on the options screen. Even if it is only 3-5 choices.
I am SOOOOOOOO tired of trying to send Lillililli a tell when it all looks like Llllllllllll.
....or maybe something like the link idea where each character's name is a hotlink to direct tell...click the person's name and it automatically places a /tell soandso in your main chat window.

you can
you can change the font used in the game for the UI
all you have to do is decode XML to XSL it looks alot like HTML and is harder to mod but it gives you so many more options (under EQs version fo XML anyway).
I cannot remember where to get the decoder key but it does come from microsoft.

Ohhh I love that idea sc2kmayor
Would be nice when some one shouts in a raid or guild or what ever and you want to quickly respond with a tell.
