Beyond the Basics Reddish UI font rendering in v1.3

    I appreciate Inkscape v1.3 UI's update but not fully yet. My Win10 PC with Quadro K2200 GPU, rendering everything else well, renders the Inscape v1.2 UI with reddish font - see attached screen grab. Please advise.

    Display size? Native resolution? Any screen magnification/scaling?

    Inkscape has font scaling and theme options... any useful controls there?

    Running 2560x1600 px native monitor resolution (Dell UP3017). 100% Inkscape scaling. I also tried to change from default (no color profile) to monitor color profile, since it is a color-calibrated monitor, to no avail. 

    Note also that not all font inside Inkscape show those reddish tint lines: the ruler font is rendered perfectly fine, all the menus, not.

    Important: no reddish font lines visible in light theme.

    Upon my further check, yes, similar coloration can appear in Win10 too. In any case, only Inkscape shows that coloration among many dozens of apps I have installed on it, many running in a dark mode. Playing with some Inkscape settings (see attachment) has some positive influence, but it does not eliminate the problem in Dark Theme mode. Low-level graphic driver code that connect Inscape to Win10 probably can be optimized but that certainly goes beyond what can be done here. For now, I use Inkscape in the Light Theme mode. Thank you for your help.

    There´s a new property/setting coming with 1.3=OpenGL rendering. Can you check out if it´s on/off and have any effect perhaps?

    OpenGL ON/OFF = no effect. I will update Nvidia Quadro driver to the latest, will report if any change is noticed.
