I've had a report of this forwarded on to me, but I haven't had the
time to do anything about it yet. According to the helpful user who
sent the report through, the solution is to create a file at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld\etc\gtk-3.0\settings.ini  (adjusting for
Meld installation location) containing:

[Settings]
gtk-xft-antialias = 1
gtk-xft-rgba = rgb

I haven't tested this myself yet; just forwarding on advice.

cheers,
Kai
