Hi, there.
As you may have noticed, there was the commit "The Trunk:
Graphics-topa.344.mcz". In it, Tobias shares with us the effortful results
of improving the quality of our pre-rendered "Bitmap DejaVu Sans" font,
which we use for everything: Source code, lists, buttons, balloon texts, ...
See for yourself (left is current, right is previous):

Thanks very much for this, Tobias!
Now, if you browse our "Font Size Summary" via the Help menu, you might also
notice three additional sizes: "Bitmap DejaVu Sans #(7 9 12 14 17 20 )".
Those can be used for High-DPI displays.
You will also notice an additional font: Darkmap DejaVu Sans #(7 9 12 14 17
20 ) This is the same DejaVu Sans but pre-rendered as white font onto a dark
background to account for correct sub-pixel anti-aliasing. So, this font
should be used if you work with bright fonts on dark backgrounds.
Also, take a look at "bold", "italic", and "bold italic". :-)
Have fun!
Best,
Marcel
