Trading post: words hard to read [Merged]
Just another obvious issue that’s been hanging around since launch (6+ months).
I would still like to use small fonts as well…
…but clearly their priorities are not bug fixes and class balance. It’s all about poo-ing out content as fast as they can code it…
a lot of the bugs should be high priority, this one is just confounding. i mean 6months? really?
it is especially annoying if you play on a 17" laptop, the inventory fills the whole screen on normal ui scale
As the title says. The font is just, Horrible. I would love to play the game with a small interface, but the font size on the trading post actually holds me back on that. It’s the only thing that wrong with it.
So I would love to see it fixed as soon as possible <3
Please?
Yeah, that’s how I’ve had to look at it since launch.
Makes the number 4 look like a 1, and many other frustrating issues.
Yeah, the small graphical user interface option skitches/skews the trading post font because it’s so thin, all of the other bolder fonts on the GUI aren’t affected in the same manner.
I wonder if Awesomium [the process that acts as GW2’s internal browser for the trading post content] just sucks with that font choice and if they are the ones we need to complain to for this to get improved.
This is a problem for me as well, but only some of the time. Sometimes the text seems to render perfectly, which is why I think this is a bug rather than a limitation of the rendering engine.
Just crank it up to normal until this is fixed. I’m sure it will be soon.
6 Months later, and I’m still stuck using the normal interface size.

Depending on what Anet’s workforce organization looks like they might just have bigger fish to fry at this point. /shrug

ever since i started playing the trading post has had a very choppy font
im playing on a 1366×768 screen,it is set to native, but if i up it to supersample the fonts even out.
as much as id like to play it at supersample, my laptop cant handle playing like that very well, it looks nice, until i start doing something, and i dont want to change it back and forth every time i open the trading post just so i can read what im buying, or the price im selling for
its been like this ever since i started playing so i assumed it was supposed to be like that, to make the game more immersive i suppose?
anywho, im just hoping you could perhaps fix it so that the font looks proper on my screen, im sure there are alot of others having this problem and they too dont even know its not supposed to be like that yet…
ill add a screenshot
ideally you want this fixed but have you tried changing the size of the interface in the options see if that helps in the mean time?
Bump for justice.
Can’t believe they haven’t fixed this yet…. most annoying.
After many posts dating back to last year, there has still been no fix and (as far as my searching has revealed) no dev response to the issue with poorly rendered text in the Black Lion Trading Company when using a small UI setting.
It is a fundamental flaw which requires users to switch UI sizes whenever they want to use the BLTC if they normally run with the UI set to small.
There are many photo examples if you search for ‘small ui’ in the BLTC or bug forums.
Anet, are you aware of this issue and is it on anybody’s ‘to do’ list?

Who’d have thought that 10 months later, this bug still wouldn’t be fixed?
I was using the Small interface size for some time without seeing this bug, but after the latest patch, it’s ugly.
that’s how mine has looked from the beginning. It’s always been that ugly on small font. the font doesn’t change, just the view size of the font, so the top and bottom are super clipped off.
I’d like this fixed, too.
I wish it could be fixed.
I hate that issue since the beginning of the game and reported it like 3 or 4 times. ( When I couldn’t stand anymore to make my eyes hurt to read. )
I don’t understand how it is possible to let this cruel lack of polish in the game…
It seems Anet prefer adding and adding and adding content instead of polishing the current one.
A lot of things in the game is just “Waw, wonderful”. And that issue makes the trading post just “Aww, awful”.
Please Anet…

I like to bump.
And I really don’t understand why nothing has been done since the beginning of the game to fix this issue.
We’re near the first anniversary.
Wow…after a year and this is still not fixed
This issue has been escalated from a different thread.
Thanks for the report!
Enabling Best Texture Filtering fixes this issue for me.
How is this a workaround when it looks exactly the same?
LE: This should be fixed ASAP since it’s also affecting the Gem Store. Yes, the one that brings money.
Okay, I’m bumping this again. It’s been an issue for almost 1.5 years. Luckily we had a response from Anet, but that was almost 6 months ago.
Is this issue still being worked on? When can I finally customize my UI the way I want it??
Yeah I’m still waiting on this fix myself. It’s ridiculous.
Holy crap I think they FINALLY fixed this!! I can actually read the text legibly today.
Confirmed it’s fixed, but with extra added bugs where the mouse doesn’t click on things it’s hovering over. http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1zjtgp/qol_the_small_ui_size_has_been_fixed_the_bltc_has/
Thanks for the graphics fix!
Now the only thing left is the proper stereoscopic rendering of the star, green arrow, and ANet icons beside the player’s names.
