It's not just you. There are probably multiple places where there are font problems. One of them is in the main window where you select the different figures from the drop-down list box. If the text is too long it wraps around and looks screwy.

Oh Boy..This might be the start of finding bugs in P8...

@ Kalypso
Getting the same thing here.
I am in two minds about it as I would rather have as much text readable as possible without it being truncated too much.
Personally I can live with it at the moment, but it might be a different matter if a lot of shader nodes, etc., were in use at the same time.
I thought it might have been my screen resolution... dual monitor setup at 1920x1200 on each, but no matter the screen resolution the text still spills out of the box.

I still don't have P8 working, but this seems more like a feature than a bug
to me. I've always disliked the unreadable crowded text in earlier versions.
Readable is better, even if it looks a little odd.

I actually saw this as a feature and NOT a bug. What's the ideaof teeny tiny fonts that no one can read anyway. This may stick out from the palette but at least it's legible. I was pleasantly surprise when I saw it :) I hope they won't "fix" this!

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA

Well it seems helpful now but I can imagine a more complicated shader being unreadable when all these names start sticking out of everywhere :)
I remember P6 did not truncate names in the library whereas P7 did and made it difficult to choose mats with or without AO since that's usually added at the end of the filename. Sure they were smaller in P6 but at least you could see the whole thing within the space alloted in the library.
I really don't know what's better anymore. I was just wondering if this is normal and how it was intended to look or if something in my settings was causing it.
