One thing I’ve noticed is that the font used by the WSUS offline updater is also very badly rendered even in the monitor’s native resolution (see attached image).
I wonder if this has any linkages to the fact that Freelancer has a rendering problem with the particular font in the screenshots.
[ EDIT: Well, Jesusalmighty, it wasn’t even Freelancer-related at all, It turns out a recent update corrupts fonts. Thanks, Microsoft.
