no, no, no, you have the wron version of the steam installer, <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=31&t=49430' target='_blank'>this one</a>is optimized for steam

Idiot. Get the hell over whatever problem you have with steam, because pretty soon you won't HAVE a choice. You hate steam...why? Because back when it first came out of beta you tried it and got burnt? Deal with it. Steam has advanced a -LOT- since initial release. It's actually one of the better things to happen to Half Life.

But then again, I don't expect people who are clinging to WON to change their minds anyway. Have fun playing on WON.

...Oh. Wait. Soon enough you won't be able to.

Anyway...I dunno why, but the fonts seem to be different ever since they put out that latest patch. I noticed it in Sven Coop yesterday myself, the chat font seemed slightly deformed or something. Not to mention the fact it was changing colour for no real reason (usually after the text is scrolled onto the top line as chat messages are sent).

Steam works great with NS 3.0 beta. You're going to be impressed. You won't need WON ever again. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

I am using the default (green) skin. Haven't changed it since install because I've not found any other which I've liked.

I highly doubt this will occur in 3.0. If so it'll be resolved shortly thereafter.

its a steam problem, not NS <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

The steam setup is beautiful. I love the friends network they have going there, no more asking for the IP on ventrilo and copying the damn comments. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

I'm 'clinging' to WON because currently, Steam is suffering the kinds (and worse) of problem mentioned above. From what I hear (well, read) in these forums, WON had the same kinds of problems when it first came out. Therefore, thank goddess that WON exists and works fairly well, having had most kinks worked out by now so we can PLAY (rather than futz and tweak around with settings, code, etc.) while Steam is going through birth pangs and working its way up to being as reliable as WON currently is. I'll switch to Steam when I'm <b>forced </b> to, and not a moment before. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> Thanks again to all you players out there struggling, fighting and occasionally outright failing with Steam; by the time it's reliable and worth going to, it's YOUR efforts that will have paved the way.

Can we stick to the topic?

XtremeFear · January 2004

umm it has nothing to do with fuzzyness, it is way to big

Try <a href='http://www.readyroom.org/' target='_blank'>http://www.readyroom.org/</a> - they have 3 sweet Steam skins.

Grillkohle · January 2004

Fear, the way to change the font described above <u>works</u>. You have to be doing something wrong.
If you are using the normal (green) steam skin, modify the TrackerScheme.res in the Steam/resource folder instead of the Steam/skins/skinname folder, or switch the skin over to the name of whatever the folder is named that the TrackerScheme.res is in that you just modified.
