I prefer the new one, i think it has a more cartoony, bolder look to it. But i think it needs to be scaled down a bit, it stands out a lot.

Faithful has a file in mcpatcher/font called ascii.properties with a bunch of entries like this: "width.33=2" I think that's what it's supposed to be, but how to do it, I have no idea.

Sadly, it only works with MCPatcher and from what I know MCPatcher doesn't actually have the issue with the W, it's just Optifine.

I did indeed test the ascii.properties file with Optifine myself to no avail.

I really like the new font, but when I am reading it frequently, it becomes harder and harder to read as my brain becomes tireder, so even though the new font has great aesthetics, I prefer the old font for general purpose.

EDIT: dang that vote is close 24 for the new and 26 for the old.
Add *sarcasm* tags around everything I say. If that doesn't help *insane in the membrane* works even better. For example: *sarcasm* Mewcats go mew, thought you ought to know *sarcasm*

i'd really like to see renamed items, which is only near relivant since its a .lang file. I like minecraft fonts that are shaded and also that this is a comic theme texture pack, it should be thick and heroic shaped.

Well 2 months of this poll pretty much reveal it's a pretty close run thing so it's pretty unlikely there's reason to roll back the font.

Just remember people the old font is still available in \assets\minecraft\textures\font called ascii_alt1.png
