Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-503:
----------------------------------
The problem is that other Windows users did not like the way text was rendered
in Pivot 1.4, which produced the result in screenshot-1.jpg. However, since it
sounds like there may be at least one Windows user who does prefer the earlier
style, supporting both in a future release may make sense. :-)
What font are you using? It doesn't look like Verdana 11 (the standard Terra
font, which was used to produce the screenshots I took).
> Using ClearType, bold text in Pivot 1.5 looks very bad

> ClearType is enabled and setup using the Wizard for best readability on my
> system. Text rendered as BOLD (for instance in "Border" components) looks
> good in Pivot 1.4 (release), but looks very bad in 1.5 as of 5/24/10. See
> attached screenshots.
