>From James Carthew:
"Attached is a picture showing the rendering error. This was generated using
the pre-built windows files from the GNUstep website. "

Commentary from Riccardo:
"Hi,

I am pretty sure you have a resolution problem, I have seen this several times
on windows (and also on X11 on one FreeBSD workstation).

Please set your Windows to "100%" and do not enlarge text and icons.

For some reason, we enlarge the controls, but then use a small font to draw
the text. It would be best of course to "scale" up also the the font, or, at
least to ignore the resize and keep everything pixels-sized to GNUstep, but
currently it is hybrid.


Riccardo"

Commentary from me:
"Odd whitespace in the middle of a word is also a bug. It seems to happen
after exactly 16 glyphs."
