Had the same issue. You need to define your own Bigfont (?), because it doesn't use the graphics lump from the wad files.

Judging by GreyFox's post in another thread, he meant the new font in the options menu - which cannot currently be changed.

At least I'm getting used to it and would wan to go back to the old one.

As I've said before I'm not a fan of fonts with serifs generally: I find them to look old fashioned in a low-tech kind of way, not in a "that's oldy-worldy and cool" kind of way. So, I was initially unsure about the font and would have preferred something a bit more modern looking (still would). However, now that I am used to it, I really don't think that I would like to go back to the old font at all. The new one is much crisper and much more readable and, now that I have become accustomed to it, I realise that much of my gut "dunno if I like that" reaction was to do with "that looks different" rather than "that looks bad".

I also know that getting an alternative font cannot easily be done, so given that the new one is functionally much better than the old one, overall it's an improvement.

TL:DR - I'd still prefer something in a slightly different style, but that's not practical and the new font is fine by me.
