--- Comment #53 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
For folks not happy with the OpenGL and Default rendering of Seoge UI (system
font from Win 7 -> Win 10) it is a simple process to set a font replacement for
Segoe UI which is not well rendered.

Tools -> Options -> Fonts:  "Apply replacement table" checked active,

Select "Segoe UI" for the "From:" entry, and a suitable San-Serif font for
"Replace with:", then OK to apply.

"Noto Sans" is a good fit if installed, or the "Open Sans" font (bundled with
LibreOffice). "DejaVu Sans" (also bundled) works as well but has smaller
metrics than "Segoe UI" and the UI shrinks. The old "Tahoma" font is used for
Windows XP and earlier but folks might like that as well.

Until work for bug 107521 can improve DirectWrite rendering and restore more
appealing rendering of the native Segoe UI system font (for both OpenGL and
Default rendering) these alternate fonts are DirectWrite grayscale rendered by
LibreOffice cleaner than the Windows system font Segoe UI.

Moving this to WONTFIX
