Oh no, I suspect that software anti-aliasing is to blame too.

It really is quite horribly blurry for the normal text AND YET things like the labels 'small', 'medium' and 'large' on the ship selection screen, and the word 'cargo' on the cargo item are perfectly clear and legible.

So, unless they are added on top once the main interface is scaled, there's something very odd going on.

I've also tried it in 800x600, 1280x960 and 1280x1024 and there is no noticeable difference (improvement or worsening) in the blurriness, which is odd as SOMETHING must be the native resolution, surely? I hope its not rendered, shrunk to 800x600, then magnified back up to the chosen resolution, then has the clear buttons blitted on top. That would be madness.

I'll try a fullscreen mode when I have to shut the computer down anyway.
