I am finding APv2b66 pretty good. How are others finding it?<br>
<br>
Still a fair bit of redrawing and screen flicker but we have seen this since we
we began testing it.<br>
<br>
I am seeing a default font mismatch at the bottom of the objects tab and in the
Observation tab, image attached. What is the font that is being used by
default? Perhaps I can change the font in the preferences to match the one
Astroplanner is using.<br>
