No, I thought I'd just live with it. It doesn't bother me too much and I'm not really worried about releasing any games to the public yet, so there's no reason...
I think it's because you need some fonts installed.
I'll go check my old PM's I believe I had the same problem.
EDIT: I checked. You need the fontfix, but BC's link he gave me was protected, so there's no use in PMing either of you with it. PM him and ask for the fontfix, I believe it helped my text somewhat when I was using RM2k3.
Unless you use RM2k, which I skipped, so I have no help to offer. Sorry.
