Multi-sample makes (some) text blurry (NVidia) #41749

Closed
opened 2014-09-08 06:46:01 +02:00 by Campbell Barton · 9 comments

With 2.71 and current maskter, enabling multi-sample, either from the preferences or nvidia-settings makes some text blurry.

Crisp

  • buttons
  • header text
  • Tooltips
  • 3D Viewport info text
  • Sequencer names

Blurry

  • Render info in image view
  • 3D Viewport info text
  • drag-and-drop text

This is most likely a bug in NVidia drivers, (because multi-sample is supposed to be disabled when drawing text).

Using GeForce GTS 450, 64Bit Linux.
Issue also reported on MS-Windows here:
http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/15606/tooltip-fonts-are-blurry

If some text looks crisp, other text can be made to look right too.

This has been fixed for almost all important areas. there are a few left (3d view axis characters, text on scrollbars)... not sure its worth to go around tweaking all since the text is readable and this is a quirk only on some setups.
