It's behaving like one at size 8 too, it's just behaving like a size 10 pixel font 2 sizes too small.

I still stand by my point that the font you've posted is a poor example, because it simply...

That's why I'm referring to a functional and aesthetic difference, not the formal difference of being designed with a pixelated appearance in mind. As I said, the font you showed would look much...

At those sizes, though, what actually distinguishes this font from a pixel font? Very little. At that size, it actually looks like an improperly sized pixel font, which kind of plays into what I've...

I think I could easily point out a pixel font on the page you linked that is more readable than, say, Bazooka, but that would just be obnoxious. :P

The actual reason pixel fonts tend to be a bad...

Again, it comes down to the specific font, and the usage. A general "pixel fonts do nothing" is as useful as "all non-pixel fonts are great". It's clearly not true in either case.

What works and...

That "vital information" is the bars themselves, much moreso than the text, which was my point. :)
When you are actively LOOKING to read the text is where the difference between a pixel font and a...

I actually find pixel fonts very easy to read, it depends on the person. However, I think people often forget that you don't (or at least, I don't, and most players don't) actually *read* every text...

a mix, my UI uses a lot of layering via KGPanels. If I don't need the border to be dynamic (for example, on the panels behind the chat frame and skada) then I use a black panel with a single pixel...

It's mostly just panel work that takes a while. I use a LOT of panels and layers when I make a UI since I can actively avoid FBS that way. The script to make the combo points actually work is all...
