VisualEditor language screenshots come out with pixelated fonts
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The screenshots that are uploaded by the latest builds of the VisualEditor language screenshot job have pixelated fonts.

Compare:

This may be happening because on the clients where the test jobs run there is a problem with the screen driver or maybe fonts anti-aliasing is disabled. Either the configuration of this client machines must be fixed, or the tests must run on a different platform, maybe Mac. (But it must be tested that they have fonts for all the languages, in particular Arabic, Japanese and Hebrew.)
