U41 font?

It is intended, yep. Here's the patch note for reference: UI Font Rendering The game now uses a new UI font rendering system. This allows for future improvements to the game and provides small enhancements in some specific situations, such as nameplates and chat bubbles. Addon creators can find a new tool, slugfont.exe, in the game directory that allows them to update their use of custom fonts to be compatible with the new system. Addons that make use of custom fonts will instead use default fonts until they receive an update, and fonts included with the game will continue to work without requiring an update. Instructions are provided in slugfont_readme.txt.

Screenshots would definitely help, if you are able to post them. In the meantime, what resolution are you playing in?

Also one more item as a workaround for now. Increase your Chat Window Font Size (Settings>Social>Chat Settings>Text Size) or Interface Scale (Settings>Video>Interface>Use Custom Scale)

@ZOS_Kevin i do apologize for asking, but was this new feature at PTS? Zenimax could at least warn players in advance, that to continue playing they MUST buy a better monitor or suffer the consequences (for me that is serious text degradation on my 1080p and my vision is not that sharp). I don't have a budget for a new monitor right now and got no warnings in advance to start saving for the monitor upgrade, so the innovation is kinda an unwelcome surprise for me personally. Is this possible to provide an option to keep the good old normal font rendering, at least for a year/6 months to provide cheaptards like me a reasonable window to buy better monitor to be able to continue playing comfortably at least for a while? If that was not significant i would not post that here at Forums. For now game turned to become an unpleasant mess for me. Kevin, i dont mean any offense, i am just utterly upset with this certain U41 new surprise feature. :s Please, revert.

No offense taken. Totally get the question. For starters, we don't want anyone to go out and buy a new monitor. We asked the resolution question to narrow down if this was an issue across the board or just lower resolutions. This was highlighted in PTS, but the thing is, sometimes we will never know the extent of an issue until it's on live and we have a larger pool of players encountering something that either isn't working or they do not like. But we now know this is an issue, so we have teams looking into this for a resolution for those impacted.
