I suspect this is a Win8 target issue, not an issue with FontMachine, but there's a small thing here for Ziggy to look at anyway.

I made a font that has a white glow around it. On Win8 Metro target, it comes out as a dark gray halo instead. Looks fine in GLFW on Win7 or Win8, and on Mac GLFW, or iOS, or Android.

And Ziggy, I noticed that on other platforms, it actually seems to fade to gray, rather than being purely white and alpha. Depending on the screen brightness, you can see it like a gray smudge, or it might be invisible.

I don't know how to post a screenshot here, else I would post examples.

Anyone else seen this?
