--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
OpenGL is enabled by default on Windows builds when the GPU and driver are not
black listed.  If you have a well supported GPU with current driver the
advantage of keeping OpenGL active are significant.  Unfortunately there have
been some issues with the Uniscribe/GDI+ based font rendering used through
5.1.1 release. 

The devs have been working on the OpenGL rendering engine for the Windows
builds--removing the Uniscribe/GDI+ implementation and moving to DirectWrite
for rendering with OpenGL acceleration. That was only just implemented in
master -- the 5.2.0 nightly builds.

That looks to be more reliable and higher quality, but probably will not be
ported back to the 5.1 branch.

You could experiment with different fonts for the formulas and paragraph text.
But for quality font rendering in formula OLE and text, probably best to
manually disable OpenGL rendering for the time being.

Otherwise, IMHO keeping OpenGL enabled by default for systems that support it
is correct for the project.
