The font string is set to have an outline. Check the options of your addons to see if they support this.

Actually, just setting the outline flag alone does not generate a 1px outline around the text. Using monochrome in combination with outline does. Example:
lua Code:
  1. local font = CreateFont'oUF_RubenFont'
  2. font:SetFont(ns.fonts.uni05_53, 8, "OUTLINE MONOCHROME")

Works without monochrome. Not hundred percent sure what good it's supposed to be but it's useful to disable antialiasing on pixel fonts.
