    I'm back to using the default font. Didn't want to miss out on the JP squiggles.

    Just wish there was an option to adjust the font size for chat/log. That would be perfect.

    Would love it if any non-default font rendered in a readable size.

It would be like if the Hylean language signs in SNES Zelda didn't have a window that pops up with the English translation. Total form over function (which I guess is a pretty accurate description of the game as a whole right now).

    I know It's a weird font, but I'm sure there will be some Geek Fan someday that will try to learn it and play with that...

    Bastardus Sans was the Brandson/FFXIStyle font right?

    Where can I get that, and does it support JP text?

    edit: read that he used trebuchet, but still the question still is that if bastardus supports JP text.

    Agreed. When they posted the directions to get to each city on the Lodestone they used names of paths and stuff that are on the maps. I couldn't even tell what they said on the map before then. It's retarded.

    Why? If you dont know Japanese character, you will learn them and be able to understand and read them normaly so the same can apply, it's always the same character for the same letter so... (and I'm not thinking of learning it lol it's just that there is ppl out there who could do it i wouldn't be surprise)

    Sit down and translate everything on any single small map and you'll be able to read Eorzean from then on. It's really not that bad. I've always got a kick out of translating fictional alternate alphabets (tolkein, FFXIII, Ultima, etc.) Also, I don't think there's one thing on any map that you actually "need" to read that's only written in Eorzean. Anything of any importance is written over it in English.
