When I installed the latest official public release of the SL viewer, I also updated my video drivers (ATI Radeon X1300) from v7.10 to v8.3 and noticed some text in SL was distorted, I had seen it a little once when I tried making my UI size .85 or less. This time though, in any UI size I selected, I had some amount of distorted text in different areas for each UI size I selected. I went back to the previous version of SL, same problem, I kept uninstalling, and reinstalling previous versions of the display driver till i reached 7.11 that didn't have the problem. Affecting First letters, or whole lines of text in things like group notices, chat, inventory, and settings. Most is readable, some is not. All is annoying.  So I've found that 7.11 (November 21, 2007) Displays all the text great at most UI size settings. versions since however, 7.12 (December 20, 2007), 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 (Mar. 5, 200  , displays text/font incorrectly in several areas of the UI in most if not all UI size settings. What should I do? |

Give me your rl adress ill send you a nvidia 8600 as youd be waiting for a reply from lindens or a fix for this youd probably die of old age by the time its fixed. O_o ouhhh im bored alright . Anyway i think this may be cause of preference try these to see if they do anything, no i dont have a ATI anymore as i had one for a long time with SL, only to throw it up in air and shoot it to pieces  ...ok it was really old. Try toggling these in preference may help you, rc 1.20 tho Graphics / basic shaders atmospheric shaders hardware options / enable opengl vertex buffer objects Also in 1.20 we have AA wich i kept disabled as i hardly see diffrence from x2 to x16 at 1920x1200. I had alot of problems with ui scale in SL, like that "dancing" fonts you have , but your text looks like its missing alot of pixels to , that i havnt seen. |

i have the same issue since drivers v7.5 and have been telling lindens about it. because besside the distorded font i have a FPS drop to 0.3 which means i cant do anything.
i have sent tickets and i send reply with more info as soon as i get them.
issue i encountered is that my old v7.3 drivers i used till today to avoid the issue is not compatible anymore with the viewer... it gives me weird 3 bugs.
i would change my graphic card but it is a laptop so i woudl need to change it all which i cant afford.

mine does the same exact thing... but I'm on the Mac OS X client, with a Radeon X1600 256mb... it only does this with the smaller UI size i use, when it does open like a script or notcard like this i can just resize the window a few time and the text fixes itself... its done this since the first day they added the UI scale option.
