The Text TOP “Polygon” display method is non-functional on Windows. My guess is this was mistakenly inherited code from the macOS branch or something (as polygon rendering is a known issue / limitation on macOS with the Text TOP.)
But this should still work on Windows. “automatic” and “polygon” should both be using the polygon display method as in previous builds but instead fall back on the much lower quality Texture display method.
