The letters is very light,can be more darken?

I prefer the previous text as well. I can barely read the small map with the new text.

I agree. However I don't particularly like the previous text either, so could you try some other text options that are more legible?

The new text is the exact same font as the old. All I did was make the new style black with a white glow. (Instead of white with a black glow). I will see what happens when I make the text bolder.

Completely disagree - the new text is much more legible?!

Weird... bit like Marmite... some like - some hate!!

As I said I don't like the text used in both versions. Maybe a new font would be better. Why not make a selection of 4 or 5 fonts and put up a poll so that people can vote for the best one?

I knew my idea of switching it to a black font with white glow would come around eventually :lol:

i really like the map widowmakers...much improved from the original

Just look at the text in LaSalle (West End) as a clear example. Maybe it has something to do with eyesight, but I find that label really difficult to read, whereas it couldn't be clearer with the older text.

WidowMakers · Post by **WidowMakers** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 10:06 pm

I will do a couple different things with the text and post them tomorrow. Aside from the text, are there any other issues? If not then once the text is agreed upon we should be set.

Thanks for the input everyone.

some of your border lines are blurred and faint....Noticed quite a few in the purple continent of the big map!!

WidowMakers · Post by **WidowMakers** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 7:42 pm

OK here are 4 different styles. Two fonts and each font has two styles

My fav is #2. Easy to read both large and small
1)

2)

3)

4)

I don't think it is really an issue. If others do, I will thicken them. I really just wanted to get the text thing settled. Once that is done I will get on this if others feel it is of value.

i like both numbers 2 and 4, but i think that number 2 is the easiest to read, and just looks nicer. it just has a montreal feel to it

d.gishman · Post by **d.gishman** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 8:26 pm

2 is definitely the best one. I wouldn't mind 3 either.

AndyDufresne · Post by **AndyDufresne** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 8:40 pm

2 or 3, I'd go with one of those.

2 on the large map

#1 for me. The black text seems to clash with the soft feel of the map. Just my opinion.

t.e.c · Post by **t.e.c** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 8:57 am

i like number 2, i think it's easier to read but on the smaller map, it seems too small.

it might be cramping things, but could the font be bumped up a point or 2?

I also agree.

Qwert · Post by **Qwert** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 10:32 am

2 is look good ,but put to be normal bold not italic bold

ga7 · Post by **ga7** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 10:58 am

Definitely 3) for small map

MR. Nate · Post by **MR. Nate** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 11:14 am

I like 3 for both maps.

I agree with qwert on this one.

Also why didn't you put up a poll? It's much better to keep track and easier for people to express their opinions...

Coleman · Post by **Coleman** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 3:09 pm

If he'd put up a poll he would have likely said something like "1, 2, 3 or 4" and then we'd still get all this mixing numbers comments and the style change one that qwert gave and I also agree with. In addition to what I said previously, either option really.

Polls in the foundry usually turn to rubbish anyway. Too many people vote without looking at anything.
