Peter: appears to be being rendered (in the panel) with BGR sub-pixel ordering (instead of RGB), and without the vertical autohinter in use.

For the sub-pixel ordering; there are some possibilities:

  1. the system rendering settings aren't being read/used
  2. the text is being rendered as white-on-black, and negated/inverted (in colour-space)
  3. the text is being rendered right->left, and then the texture being mirrored (in horizontal space)
  4. something else

For the latter:

  1. the system rendering settings aren't being read/used
  2. something else
