UPDATE: I posted new script upgrade links. They should all work :)

This should normally be about equal to what it was, but there could be browser differences etc. that didn't show before (since it was an image before). If you think the font looks very strange, please provide a snapshot.


Good point - some Mac or Linux users could be missing compatible fonts. There are fallback fonts for Mac and Linux, but they are not necessarily 100% the same. If you don't like what you see, try to install fonts in this order of preference: Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif. A snapshot plus OS version would help us help you.

Any chance you can make it a little easier to read?

I use regular old Explorer to play, with color codes on, and the result looks really blurry.

I like this update. Any chance you could fix the 3-digit number centering too?

Since you guys are improving this site a lot recently, how possible it is to include BOB and Clickies in the main site programming so we dont need to use add-ons?

Most of the people use them, and that will eliminate a lot of issues when you guys do upgrades, dont you think?

a lot of the black borders on the #s aren't lining up, making for blurry, double vision in areas. not sure if this will need to be dealt with on a map by map basis or not. here's an example, notice the door on C block and Ramon in the yard:

How strange! What browser and OS do you have? Were you using any community scripts?

Interesting. I suspect you're playing in IE with the screen 1 time enlarged (ctrl-+, ctrl-0 should get it back to normal). Won't be an easy fix, I suggest going back to normal size (pressing ctrl-0 once) for now.

good call guys. it's firefox on win7, but it was the larger font size that was throwing it off. ctrl-0 reset it and it looks fine now, though everything is a little on the small size now lol. thanks and keep up the good work! =D>

It seems like a lot of my armies are casting a shadow, or possibly not filling in the entire character with color... Not sure, but its really difficult to read for me, and its not occurring with all the numbers, just some...

I wish the colors could be a little more desaturated... they're kind of blinding.

You are Right. I use FireFox... I have BOB and clickies, but unless I use the normal zoom, or am zoomed in more, It becomes blury like mentioned above... I can live with having it at the normal zoom. I am sure I as well as many others though do not prefer having the zoom at normal.

Hate to triple post, but my clickies aren't working (Yes, I'm using the latest version)

All the territories on the edge are off while I had to refresh the page to simply manually end each phase. (shortcuts keys didn't work)

We are already working to add various Tools & Enhancements as site features. :) Stay tuned for this.

I have the same thing, it seems to be mainly with blue, and with numbers that tend to be close together 4, 6, 8, and i think it has to deal with the black outlining of the numbers.

I wouldn't call this "improved army printing." Since updating Bob, as requested by the flashing red notice on the Bob Menu, my letters are larger, seemingly a different font, and blurry. Also, for some reason, my Australia map doesn't ever load - stuck in eternal Bob processing. I use FireFox 3.6.3. Any clues would be appreciated. I'm not going to play the Ctrl+ and Ctrl- game every time I log in - that's ridiculous. I appreciate the efforts to improve CC, but this one sent me back a couple steps. :?

I like the new font.. It will take some getting used to, but I still like it ;)

The only thing I am having trouble with is Clickable Maps.. The new version in this thread, and in the actual thread, isn't working for me.. I will sort it out though :)

This font is disgustingly bold and blurry, and the stroke is even worse.

Go back to the pixel one.

I suggest that you continue this with the CM thread here.

Please be sure that you are viewing the map on a 'normal' level and not in a zoomed setting. For now, I would say this is the "fix" in avoiding to see any sort of blurry numbers or letters.

Let's try this. Clear your cache and cookies. Uninstall BOB if it's there. Then check if you have the latest version of your browser. Restart pc. Install BOB again.
