http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ But I'm pretty sure it's just MS Sans Serif I totally preferred the chat font before they patched it in 1.07 and oh, if you're talking about that lobby chat font, it's verdana. | ||

(bw is 640x480 compared to a lot more for your friendly neighborhood game right now) | ||

Kenyan Coffee is a narrow headline typeface created in 1999. In 2011, Kenyan Coffee was rebuilt and expanded into a larger font family. Don't forget to read the files inside the zip for details. Updated in 2012. StarCraft is a military science fiction real-time strategy video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment and released for Microsoft Windows on March 31, 1998. I don't think it's that typeface. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [font16] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/mFTRhtn.png) (Click to enlarge)+ Show Spoiler [font14] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/fSpEu6f.png) (Click to enlarge)+ Show Spoiler [font10] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZISTPtK.png) (Click to enlarge)You can see that they are the same font of different sizes. Blizzard probably did some editing on the size 10 font for better viewing though. Now here's Eurostile typed on MSWord + Show Spoiler [Eurostile] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/uygz1Td.png) There are small differences on some characters but these are very subtle. Starcraft basically uses Eurostile or variations of it throughout the whole game, it wouldn't make sense if they had different one just for game chat. | ||
