Install USSEP, then download the appropriate translation if you play in any language besides English: DE PL FR IT ES PT TK
Low resolution or pixelation on the font.
For ENB users, delete SMAA files if you use an ENB preset that uses SMAA. Be wary of using ReShade, as that usually reshades your font too, which can have very visually adverse effects.
