How can I improve/change the font used in Mac version of Wwise's Menu & documents?

Hello, 

I'm using Wwise on a Mac. The first thing I noticed when I opened Wwise is that the font used in the menus and help documents looked something like this:

It seems that Windows versions don't have such an issue. 

Do you know how I can fix it?

Can you confirm you have a very high-resolution screen?

I have two macs: one has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 and another has 2560 x 1080. I installed Wwise on both Macs but they had the same problem.

Same problem. High res Mac displays and the fonts are small and pixellated. Can we get standard UI fonts and allow a larger size on the Mac? On a 5k screen, this is almost unusable.

It appears that "Enable High DPI support" is not working on Mac. Turning it on or off and restarting Wwise has no noticeable effect for me.
