Find the eq2ui_mainhud_hotkey.xml and open it in notepad. Then change all Font22 to FontArial12T. That will change the font to a nice 12 point arial font.

Here's some other general feedback, for both the authors of Profit UI and SOE.

I think the numbers are too big (obviously since I changed them to be smaller). My hotkey icons are sized to 32, and with the large font it made it hard to see the icon. This probably wouldn't be an issue if SOE changes it so that 0 doesn't appear.

I wish the timer wasn't in seconds. I realize there is nothing that can be done about this from a UI modder standpoint. I'd much rather prefer to see a digit after the decimal point as well like the timer in the tool tips.

However, that of course won't matter if they don't change it so that each hotkey's timer updates more than once a second. As it works right now, every hotkey updates at the same time. So when I see a hotkey turn from "2" to "1" I don't actually know if I can cast that ability in 1 second or 0.2 seconds. It is more of a hinderance than a help with them all updating at the same time like they are right now. I still have to hover over spells and look at the tooltip to get the information I need.

At this point I'd still just settle for the ability to not have spells tint while I am casting another spell. I know I am casting, I don't need every hotkey to inform me of that. What I need is to be able to tell which spells I can cast because right now when I'm chain casting my spells never light up again unless I lag.
