Ticket #834 shows some example images of the same problem on the main status line in Linux. Also it shows the text appears to be squished horizontally when the window is maximized.

Vertical positioning of statusbar text was wrong. Fixed that.

Improved statusbar font appearance by making opengl texture render exactly match
texture pixels to screen pixels. Bug #830.

Make status line text a little smaller so it matches command-line text size.

Made status text use Lucida Sans which is a bit wider than Helvetica and Arial making it look a little clearer.

These changes have made the status line text look better, but still not as good as native drawn text by the operating system. The OpenGL rendering is using anti-aliasing and I believe the Qt rendering of the text into an image is also anti-aliasing. So I don't have further ideas to improve the quality.
