How is the UI still a problem in 2019?

How is the font problem still not fixed in 2019? This is a bad font to start with. It's barely readable at that size even in 1920x1080. In 4k it's impossible to work with the Editor. Why has this not been fixed?



I really tried guys but I guess I go back to using Unreal.

 

Hi and welcome,

It probably depends a lot on your screen. I wouldn't try to use Unity on a small screen, like a laptop. I'm using Unity with a 4k screen and the font is quite readable to my eyes (imo.)

But I'd like to be able to adjust font-size and change the UI font too...And many other settings that are now just static. Seems like some things are devolving when it comes to modern user-interfaces.

 

Wait for

2019.3

. Alternatively, try out the latest 2019.3 Beta. Not only will the entire Editor theme change, there will also be a new font called Inter getting used:

I've never had a problem with the font. If you're using a rather small 4k display and not using any scaling, then I'm sure the font would be too small though for that setup. Could be either your eyes or the distance from the display too.

I often run Unity on a 13" 1920x1080 laptop display without issue, but my eyes are good and I usually am really close to its display.

 

I run Unity on a 43" 4K Monitor (LG 43UD79-B). The problem is that the font used is a bad choice and it is clearly set too small. I can read it but it is a strain on the eyes and makes working for more than a couple hours really difficult.



Going below the minimum resolution of a font is not only dumb, it's incompetence. Most fonts are designed for 8-10px upwards. It looks like Unity is running the font at 6px which of cause will create artefacts and destroy legibility.
