Windows 7 Stellarium Upgrade issues

If you're encountering font rendering issues with the Stellarium app after upgrading to version 0.10.6, specifically when using an older ATi Radeon Mobility X1400 video card or some SiS video cards, the problem might be related to the default OpenGL2 rendering mode that's automatically activated upon launching the application. To resolve this problem, you can follow these steps: 1. Accessing Stellarium Without OpenGL2 Rendering: - Navigate to Start > All Programs > Stellarium. - Look for the shortcut labeled "Stellarium (no GPL2)" and use that to launch Stellarium without OpenGL2 rendering. 2. Create a Desktop Shortcut: - To simplify access, you can create a shortcut to the "Stellarium (no GPL2)" shortcut on your desktop. - Alternatively, you can modify the existing desktop shortcut created by Stellarium during installation to include the --safe-mode parameter in the target field. This parameter disables OpenGL2 rendering. 3. Adding the --safe-mode Parameter: - Right-click on the desktop shortcut for Stellarium and select "Properties." - In the "Target" field, add --safe-mode after stellarium.exe", ensuring there is a space between exe" and --safe-mode. - Your target field should look something like this: .....s\Stellarium\stellarium.exe" --safe-mode By using either the "Stellarium (no GPL2)" shortcut or modifying the desktop shortcut to launch Stellarium in safe mode, you should be able to bypass the font rendering issues caused by the default OpenGL2 rendering.
