Just a short one.
Don't expect huge manpower.
But fixing text in FXAA may help one or two.

Eve has FXAA? How did I miss this?

Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.

For the ignorant among us... what is this about again?

Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing (FXAA) is an anti-aliasing algorithm created by Timothy Lottes under NVIDIA.

Advantages

Does not require large amounts of computing power, achieved by smoothing jagged edges ("jaggies")[2] according to how they appear on screen as pixels, rather than analyzing the 3D models itself as in conventional anti-aliasing.[1]
Smooths edges in all pixels on the screen, including those inside alpha-blended textures and those resulting from pixel shader effects, which were previously immune to the effects of multisample anti-aliasing (MSAA).[3]

Basically the simplest and easiest thing to integrate and use.
Timothy Lottes[4]

Disadvantages

Textures may not appear as sharp if they are included in the edge detection. This may also affect the HUD elements of the game.

Processes

Building image with highlighted edges.
FXAA processing illustrations

The processes of FXAA are listed as follow:

Find all edges contained in the image.
Smooth the edges.


At a guess, this above.

That's the one.
FXAA is not ideal for small text, it ends up blurred.
If FXAA is correctly supported then things like the UI can be skipped.
