Title:
  Font/text rendering is irregular and not pixel-aligned

Bug description:
  Logging in to Unity8 desktop I find text rendering is irregular and
  not pixel-aligned. Particularly noticeable in the notification bar
  pull-down on the top right.

  Actually full pixel alignment is not necessarily a requirement, but
  nice to have. Even without that this bug is significant because small
  glyphs are aliasing with the pixels; sometimes one pixel wide but
  sometimes less (so shown dimmer).
