Summary0005823: Font Degradation
DescriptionFonts become degraded. Sections of words just stop showing up.
Steps To ReproducePlay the game normally. Switching screens and scrolling through lists will generally cause this to happen after a while. Usually less than 10 minutes into the game.
Additional InformationThe issue never really goes away, but the immediate on-screen degradation can be fixed by resizing the window and causing the game to re-draw the screen.

I play using truetype. I am not sure if this affects non-truetype.

I can confirm that this does not affect non-truetype games.

I noticed that too. It looks as if the background-clearing part of the text-drawing routine is not adjusted for true-type - the portion of screen that becomes cleared is too large, because true-type characters are generally narrower than bitmap ones.

I am having this problem as well.
