Fusion, after update "build v.2605.0.97 (November 5)", font style is changed, but not fully, looks weird!

Dear Fusion UI Developer Team!

Please bring back the ARIAL Font for all UI options. After this current update, somewhat mismatched fonts, ruins the UI experience.

Either stick to one font, don't mix it up.

Thanks!

Exactly, this update completely broke the UI — it now looks weird, unprofessional, and is hard to read, also issue with DPI scaling is back on the desk ....

Thank you for the feedback. The font mismatch will be corrected in a future major release, along with some other remaining, theme-related quirks.

Unfortunately, Arial is not a part of that future, and is on its way out as Fusion's font on Windows. You can still revert to the Classic theme for a bit longer, however.

The newer font you see is Artifakt, Autodesk's corporate typeface. Due to the way each OS renders fonts, it might look a bit different on macOS compared to Windows.

Can you elaborate on the DPI scaling issue? Are you specifically referring to the font?

Hopefully, as you said, the artifakt will be the new font, and fusion UI developer team should stick to one font.

Earlier ARIAL had been great choice, because it take less space being narrow font style, therefore while working on laptop, every command fits into the screen appropriately.

Now, after changing the font to Artifakt, the texts are extended, need to drag the window more to get the full text on display, eating more space.

I request make the font a bit smaller to fit into command window/prompt, not to take much space. Just like earlier.

Please do the needful.

Regards

I agree completely about the UI. There was no need to change anything.

This happens on rename too.

Agreed the point size is too large with the new type face. It needs to be about the same size as the current one on the screen.

The font size is currently defined as part of a Autodesk-wide product style, but I will do my best to advocate on behalf of your feedback.

When your team will be testing it, make sure you not only open in desktop (say, 27" monitor with 4K), also check in laptop having Full HD display, that, every command/options should fit into properly. Even, the side browsing panel is wider now. Earlier it was slim. There is no option to drag to make it slim, like in AutoCAD / Inventor, only off or on.

Exactly, many high-end modern laptop workstations still have 14" FHD displays, so it’s really important that Fusion runs properly on these systems. Thank you for your support.

Here you can see, the difference in length from Arial to Artifact is 8.713%, Please reduce the text height by that margin, so that the command window texts will not get hidden or vanished like three dots.

Do the needful.
