I loaded the latest VASL 6.6.1. Everything works fine. However, the counters, font and toolbar have a fuzzy, out-of-focus look to them. Dice rolls in chat are particularly noticeable. Anyone know if this is fixable, or if this a current feature of 6.6.1?16450

Hm, never seen anything like that. What version of VASSAL are you using?

Hunch:

If you are using VASSAL v3.2.17 (old), go to the VASL Preferences, 'General' Tab, check/uncheck 'Disable DirectX D3D pipeline'. Any difference?

If you are using VASSAL v3.5 (current as of 6. Feb. 2021), go to the VASL Preferences, 'Compatibility' Tab and go for trial/error with the options there - I have no idea what they might mean, but heck, maybe something there works.

I am running VASSAL 3.4.12. on a PC. Played with Disabling DirectX D3D pipeline. No joy yet.

This has nothing to do with DirectX D3D. Don't disable that unless you're having repaint problems. This is not a repaint problem.

My menu bar is a bit fuzzy, but that is due to it being so small - the lack of pixels given the small size of that bar forces it to be that way:

The Actual units on the map are quite nice:

I am using VASSAL 3.4.12 and VASL 6.6.1. Monitor is a 4k 28" monitor.

I would concur, the units on board are quite good. The few small fuzzy toolbar items are a lower priority for me. It's the Dice Rolls in the chat that are the worse. Those large dice rolls are truly out of focus, and makes me feel like I need glasses.

I had not noticed an issue with the chat window. When I paste in this window the dots appearance to be more fuzzy than what I see on my monitor.
