P: Slideshow text overlay not rendering properly

I have created a slideshow with a white text overlay that shows the image Title. I reduced the text overlay box to its minimum size, and the resulting text in the slideshow is fuzzy and pixelated, not clean and sharp. Even when the text is larger the outside border of the text (black) is not aliased, and shows ugly jaggies.

MacbookPro Retina 15, OSX 10.8.4 using Best for Retina display.

However, the text renders smoothly on Win 7.

I can reproduce this - I believe it's simply not optimised for retina displays. I'll put in a bug report internally.
