Odd issue. Installed the patch, ran fine but the in game font has changed to what looks like Ariel!..
I don't like the new font at all, too, but it was a feature to enable unicode support for other languages.
This is not a but. The font was changed, because of 2 reasons:
1. The old font looked very unclear on low resolutions and we wanted to better support low resolutions to make the game playable on low end computers.
2. The old font didn't have all the characters needed for Russian, Polish and Slovak languages. We had to change the font to support these languages. We didn't want to use 2 different fonts, because that would have made the menu layout testing much more complicated.
