Hello,  
I have been trying to make JOST (0.5.4) work, but although everything seems fine, the font is completely impossible to read:

Now the reason why I said fonts on JUCE look weird is that the same issue arises on other JUCE-based applications (not just JOST).

When I run it in the terminal, nothing seems to be wrong:

`$ jost
Plugin In loaded OK 
Plugin Out loaded OK`

I installed it on arch, via:

```auto
$ sudo packer -S jost-bin
```

I also tried using the source build, but the same issue happens there too!

afaik jost uses juce v1.53, which way too old and unsupported right now…
