The fonts are beautiful for me (1680x1050, nvidia 250GTS), thick and smooth. I did hear alot of complaints in the chatroom though, must be some wierd specific resolution-to-monitor-drivers bug?

I'm getting the same thing.  In some places it looks fine, but in either places the text has a serious case of the jaggies, which makes it difficult to read.

Same setup (260 Core 216, but close enough) and I've got no problems with the fonts, which is unusual: I almost always find fonts in everything too small to read comfortably. But no, haven't noticed any problems.

If you had the beta installed, try uninstalling and re-installing Elmental.  And before re-installing make sure that you have cleared out any traces of Elemental that may have been left behind in the %ProgramData% or MyGames folders.

Stardock, thanks for the suggestions.  I most definitely had the font smoothing checked in the options.  I'll try the uninstall/install tactic to see if that fixes anything and report back.
