Rendering text on the E1 mkII (v3.5.4) with the character `:` or an `i` causes a tiny artifact to be rendered. The artifact of the `i` is less visible but the artifact of the `:` can be spotted quite easily. It looks like this:

hi @Mint-Gecko, I will get in touch with you on the PM. I am unable to replicate any of the three issues you reported. Let’s review it together.

The picture I uploaded was misleading: the red markers were added by me and were supposed to help finding the actual glitch (soft white pixels appearing with certain characters).

I also found out that `l` and `t` are affected by this, too.

Can confirm that the characters `a`, `:` and `i` are rendered much better with v3.6.0.

The characters `l` and `t` are still rendered with artifacts.
