you gotta admit this font is pretty cool :)
now seriously, this might be an issue related to configuring custom fonts in Windows. Are you using some custom Windows theme with "non-standard" fonts? If that is the case, can you try with some default Windows theme and see if fonts are rendered properly?

There is a custom font used for the numbers in the timbre space, but the rest uses a standard system font. I did not test on 4k display/Windows, but other users did and did not report this issue. Maybe you could try with a different monitor but I don't think this would cause the issue. For some reason Babu Frik think this weird font is your system font. One idea would be to identify which font this is and temporarily uninstall it from the system and see what happens. Also I'll release a new version of Babu Frik with minor bug fixes very soon and using an updated version of the underlying software libraries it uses. Maybe this will fix it...

Babu Frik uses the software library JUCE, which gets the default system font using (I guess) some system call. So there's no specific font for the main components of the UI, but should be a default system one. A solution would be to bundle the font with Babu Frik, I'll consider that option.

Hi, sorry I don't have much time for this right now, but once I do some updates to Babu/JF I'll look into this and see if it got fixed in JUCE or there's a workaround I could try. Thanks!

I do almost all of my patch editing from the panel so I don't use Babu Frik that often, but at some point in the last 8-12 months this issue showed up for me, too. Everything was displaying normally last time I used it (around when I installed the v2 output board last year). Not sure what happened, I haven't installed or removed any fonts since then and running the same version of Babu Frik on my desktop, with the same Windows build installed, works fine.
