Medium The font is too small and barely readable, or sometimes unreadable, and additionally appears to be distorted as if the entire UI was rendered at a different resolution and then scaled to the display size somehow. It looks incredibly bad.
Below is the comment I left on this on community questions:
Here's a screenshot of how a typical dialog box looks in Sourcetree (2.3.5.0 but the problem was the same in earlier versions).
In general everything is too small and looks distorted. It is very hard to read ANYTHING at all across the entire Sourcetree program.
Even in this one case, where I am allowed to choose a custom font for Diff (and Diff only), there is no way to even get that to render cleanly; there is weird distortion around every letter no matter what size I pick (see the sample text in the screenshot).
Why does Sourcetree use some strange custom font like this instead of native fonts in a readable size, especially ones with proper hinting for non-antialiased rendering.
Is there any way at all to fix this? It looks terrible and is makes the program difficult to use.

Had originally posted here but was told a month later that it was only for mac and to repost it here, but there seem to be many relevant windows comments in that thread anyway:
