I added and set UseGlShaders = False and started Stellarium up. It made the text legible, but still not completely. Some of the text looked like it wasn't rendered properly and some characters had vertical or horizontal lines that were two pixels wide, while other parts of the character were one pixel wide. Looking through the ini file I found it was set to use the font DejaVuSans, which is not installed on the computer, so I am guessing it used a "similar" font that really wasn't...well...similar. I changed this to Arial and the star names are now readable, however, the text that appears over the menu items still appears with thick and thin lines, but at least you can read it, sort of.

Thanks for your suggestion it at least changed it from "what the?" to "So why does the word Melbourne look funny?"
