Q:

Hello everyone,

Not sure if the devs are aware of this or not but when I try to access the Black Lion Trading Company window when my Interface Size is set to "Small’ in the options menu, the text is almost completely unreadable.

Is there a fix to this other than having to change my Interface Size back to ‘Normal’?

Thank you

Yeh, I think this is the issue. Wish we could manually re-size the Trading Post UI

I submitted this to ArenaNet as well. I prefer my UI to be set to small, but it means the text in the BLTP is near impossible to read.

I have submitted a bug report on this a while back. Yes, it’s an issue for me as well. I run a 1920×1080 setup, (monitor at native resolution) and I prefer to have the interface set as “small”.

The new font or typeface ArenaNet implemented in the game works brilliantly for all UI elements, except for the Black Lion Trading Company interface, specifically the gem shop. The old font seems to discard lines of pixels, making the reading of gem prices and the description of items very hard, to near impossible, to read.

At last!

I knew i couldn’t be the only one, the BLTC screen is pretty much unreadable on my screen with pixels missing all over the place, i first thought it was my pc but it seems i no longer need to panic now!

It’s incredibly difficult to read prices and descriptions unless i mouse over the actual content.

Is there a way to manually resize it through some kind of config file? =/

I am really surprised that this hasn’t gotten any attention or even a mention yet from the powers-that-be. With the trading post now working most of the time, it’s become very hard to see the text on smaller lettering i.e. like when search results of goods are shown.

The font seems to scale okay when your UI is scaled to ‘normal’, but on small, the font just falls apart – skipping lines/pixels – it ain’t nice. It’s really a pain in the butt to go and change your graphics options every time you wish to use the BLT. I’m sure ArenaNet has bigger fish to fry at the moment, but I really hope they are aware of this and that it makes it onto their to-do list at some point.

I have this EXACT same issue I have with the BLTC when running the UI on “Small”. The font for the BLTC looks almost.. garbled. Is there any way to fix it, other than switching back to “Normal” UI size every time I go to the BLTC?
