7.9.12 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/6/6a4c577a2aaa2503033d53af161d52b03f08354f.png) 7.9.14 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/c/c1665603df0d2e366e641e754a1ba2f1b237b1bb.png) Comparing W’s, 14 then 12: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/b/babb1d441bf971addc644ac9b3797bfcd64285c2.png) 14 looks a bit unrefined and has an element of the `courier` typeface to it ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/2/2aecc08a9d186a8cfe12fdf6147acfdd298d99f9.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/1/104fe5d418131c6a5b7277e6625850f313c0184b.png) - ‘t’ looks bolded, ‘o’ has a little dag\* on the right side of it. \*Dag definition (1 of 2): Australian for the dried poop at the backside of a sheep. ---

What’s the launch method for both? JNLP, client launcher (embedded Java?)? Might be a font config difference, or somehow your 7.9.12 configuration was opting into anti-aliasing or smoother font rendering somehow. ---

Same with 7.9.16: - client launcher: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/8/081fa3092b90b98044a93f786eba3d30f6e91b21.png) - jnlp (OK): ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/a/0a0f263d74b627f96603403a15bfde3dd1944832.png) I cleared the .ignition folder before testing and reinstalled the client launcher. Looks like the font is different ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/8/081fa3092b90b98044a93f786eba3d30f6e91b21.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/a/0a0f263d74b627f96603403a15bfde3dd1944832.png)
