Can someone explain why the font looks so disjointed on the presentation screen?

It's clearly a vector display, and my guess is that the beam is being turned off a little too early at the end of each character's final stroke, leaving it lopsided.

The bar over a letter must mean that it's true upper-case. Cheesy, but it's what we did when characters were expensive.
