Charinfo font.

Please make it smaller, it's a lot of information, a big font, and a small text field. Bad combination.

Actually this applies to all fonts: make them smaller and use a more readable font. It's perfectly possible to show more info on the HUD by just switching to a smaller and more readable font.

Agreed. smaller font. Smaller HUD elements. Need to free up some of that space.

Agree. Definietly smaller font (even VERY small - 8px?) would make things much better.

BTW add . in your cash metter:
"1.252.235c" instead of "1252235"

Agree. None of us have time to do this, or we would. And Americans use commas instead of periods in long numbers; periods are for decimal points. Why is it backwards from Europe? I haven't the slightest idea.

Everything is backwards in Europe. Those crazy, crazy martians.

Well.. I don't care if this will be . or ,. Just something to separathe that number into some smaller parts (easier to read)

Yea.. i know you are guys busy, but if you have a little spare time then... ;)

actually over here we use the ' to separate big numbers:
1'030'044 and the , is for decimals.

Make localized versions!

/me ducks to avoid the stream of thrown objects...

They would have to do quite a bit of localization. Numbers alone we have this so far:

1234567.00
1,234,567.00
1'234'567,00
1.234.567,00

WHy not grab a pixel font from the 'net - they're extremely sharp at small sizes, and most can be had free/cheaply.

a1k0n: thanks for the feedback; at least we know this will change in time.
