Mh, I've tried to apply a similar workaround as the one proposed on the patch, but it's not something we can apply in the way it is since we can't just draw a full bg over all our text, for many reasons... One is that the panel can also be semi-transparent, and this will break it.
So, the only acceptable thing is to draw the bg only under the text glyphs, so that this will affect only the semi-transparent parts of text. I got something working here, but still I've to clean up and figure out a weird behavior I've noticed when the text is cut with fade. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Status in Ayatana Design: Invalid Status in Cairo Graphics Library: New Status in Unity: Triaged Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Since the switch to a theme-aware panel, the Unity panel uses very fuzzy fonts. The actual submenus in the global menu bar, as well as the indicators look fine, but the top-level menu entries, time, name in me-menu, and the window title look fuzzy. Presumably this is because it doesn't use the configured Pango font anti-aliasing as the rest of GTK, as these are rendered by nux? This is Unity 3.4.4 on current Natty.
