Comment 4 for bug 997312

When I switched to Radiance for the first time on my fresh install of Precise, I noticed this issue as well.

Adding another screenshot for comparison. You can clearly see the difference between font rendering in the Unity panel vs. the one used in window titles. It is most visible for the bold typeface when looking at the "m"s and "n"s.

The default Ambiance theme seems unaffected, but it may be a perception thing related to different colors.

It does look like a hinting problem, but how come it's only in the panel?
