The problem is seemingly reduced in xenial now with the new visual
design. But the problem is not eliminated.
Fonts in the indicator pulldown (on desktop) are still not very well pixel
aligned. At a guess, it looks like we might have made any of these mistakes:
(a) Insufficient hinting
(b) Text is pre-rendered in a bitmap whose background colour is different to
the final screen.
(c) Text rendering is trying to use sub-pixel alignment, but only getting
greyscale on screen (see (b))
Sad to say Unity7 text still looks much nicer.
