Description

« Hide

After upgrading to the latest ATI drivers (7.12) I noticed that some letters in the menu bar are rendered ugly. See the attached screenshots, and look at the capital letters E, V, W and H. It is just a minor thing, but it happens in all screen/window resolutions. Other text (the menu items itself or other text in the viewer) seems to be fine.

I also noticed the same thing with the Linux viewer, both with the Linux 7.11 and 7.12 driver.
