Bug Description
In the "Settings" app, I've noticed that in certain pages where it contains an editable text field with a placeholder, such as "Device name" and "User name", the placeholder's font rendering is different and inconsistent with the rest of the UI. These placeholders have no font hinting, but the rest of the Settings screen has hinting.
