W seems to be washed out after submitting a post. Please help us Elmer Fudd fans.

I guess I change some schemes and see if that helps. Kinda weird to view.

Im not sure I understand this issue correctly.

Can you take a screenshot of your problem?

No because I don't have a host to post the pic. But since it's only obvious to me, I'll try and explain better :)

The "w" (and just slightly "m" ) is washed out in the center. It looks like someone took an eraser to the center part of "w"

Zooming in helps some, but it's really obvious here.

It's the font anti-aliasing. What OS are you using? I've seen that on Linux, when full hinting isn't enabled. But Windows and Mac OS are usually pretty good at not having this issue, regardless of font size.

I think I saw somewhere that you can change this somewhere. Now I can find it :(

Now I get it! Yeah, I've seen this issue even on new Windows X machines. A combination of font, not optimal screen resolution (a skewed 15.5:9 resolution for a 16:9 monitor), anti-aliasing etc.

Just for fun, try and hit your screens "Auto adjust" button while having Reasontalk open

That'll do it every time, if you have ClearType enabled. ClearType does sub-pixel addressing, by knowing the order of the RGB elements of each pixel. So it can anti-aliases at a 1/3 of pixel level. But that requires being able to address pixels 1:1. If the resolution that Windows is using doesn't match the resolution of the screen, the sub-pixel addressing will get messed up.

gak, if that's your case, try adjusting the resolution to be the same as your display (optimal). Oh, saw the title was changed to [SOLVED], so I guess what ever it was, it's fixed anyway. :)
