    This is not the most pressing issue, but for years the text in the label text component editor, I hqve grown to live with it until I have used Civil 3D on my new work laptop where the text is clear. Is there a setting on my desktop where I cna get my text companent editor to be more readable?

    I know not the biggest issue but something that has bugged me for years.

     

    Thanks,

    Different video cards / dirvers?  Maybe update your current drivers to latest available??

    It depends on which version of windows your in to find the setting,  but the fix is to turn off ClearType text.

    A better fix would be the ability to change the background color and displayed font style.
