The font is taken from the DS version of the game

I agree, i rather the old font, at least put the option to choose, please.

Maybe it can be modded back. But it was lazy looking before since it was like the windows default font.

This new "old" font is aids.
No pls.

I tested the game briefly when it first came out and then again today (I'm holding out on a full playthrough until I see everything they do to try and fix it) and I honestly thought the initital font they used looked fine. This new font is much too small, ugly, awkward and uncomfortable to be read, imo. I do prefer the "original" graphics, though, so at least that's a step forward. I'm still waiting to see what they do to fix the UI, though, because right now in combat it looks absolutely hideous and completely ruins the game, imo.

This is what mode share with me, you need CT_Explore v1.4, simply open the resources.bin, then replace on top of String_2, then save, and enjoy, also credits goes to Zeikar for this.

Follow his advice! It looks much better this way.

I like this font better than the bland unshadowed one it had before, but either a sharp modern beautiful font with shadows or the SNES font would both still be better.

Man, the Steam CT font is just too clean and sterile, to the point that it burns the eyes.

The original SNES CT font looks fine, and is even still very nice. It's much better than the Steam CT's font, and is much easier to read:

I'm not against the font being updated - slightly - but it has to at least look as decent as the original SNES font. Otherwise, just leave it as it is in the SNES version.

What a horrible font to have a curse.

I would prefer the SNES font. At the very least it would be good if combat used the SNES font, which is chunkier and stands out a bit better. I'd rather everything except UI elements used the SNES font, but the dialog seems to be fitted to accommodate four lines of the small DS font.

It looks like the one from Nintendo DS, I think it's pretty good...
The last one was BAD and unshadowed, this is much better.

The Basic text what it's patched to now in the Steam version of the game?

The SNES version's text looks much better, and is much more readable.

That Basic text in those images is very difficult to read.

Here's the SNES' text:

And it looks even better when the text is smoothed just a tiny bit.

Snes is nice. The mobile one is like they tried to load Chrono Trigger in RPG maker. Hehe...
Jimmeh Apr 10, 2018 @ 10:04pm 
SNES > DS > Whatever Windows font was used in the original port.

I would prefer the original as well but I see the DS font as an improvement.

Here is the font for the original SNES version:
