After 0.17.24, the Russian font became too fat and not orderly.

Please, return the old font back.

I'm second on this. Lato wasn't perfect, but still much more better than Noto. I personally changed files in core/fonts to Exo 2 font which is very close stilystically but very poorly maintained. For example version in master of google fonts repo lacks multiplication sign( × ) widely used in Factorio. And version with this bug fixed from this commit have problems with Serbian Cyrillic letter ђ.

Here is Imgur gallery and drop-in replacement(your results may vary i play at 1366x768 resolution)

P.S. On a side note, can https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs ... er-version value be exposed in config file, so people who like non-default font render or have smaller screens have option to select their favourite like they do in Linux.

To one, who wants to use good old Lato fonts from previous versions, but doesn't want to download whole game, here is font files:

Unpack to Factorio directory with replace (contains Lato fonts + russian, ukrainian and belarusian locale config files with added Lato font as preferred)

Thanks for the report, this is fixed for the next release by reverting to the previous font.
