I am getting severe text corruption in an application when magnified

Text corruption can occur with untested applications or applications that have recently received updates

As a temporary workaround for text corruption we first of all recommend that you toggle between the three font smoothing options to establish if any provide a better experience, these options are "None", "Standard" and "True Fonts".   These options can be found in the SuperNova Control Panel > Visual Menu > Advanced Options > Magnifier property sheet, or you can toggle between them by pressing LEFT CONTROL + NUMBER PAD 8 repeatedly.

Another potential solution is as follows:
Disclaimer: Dolphin Computer Access Ltd. cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. Before attempting the following, create a backup copy of your Windows Registry and a system restore point. Failure to do this may result in a non-recoverable system.
Open the RegEdit and create a new registry key called dol_hook under the following locations: 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dolphin 
and 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Dolphin
Underneath the new dol_hook registry keys create a subkey with the name of the application exe file for example itunes.exe
and then under the new subkey create 3 new DWORD values:
functions
interfaces
process
All of these DWORD values should be set to 0.
Your registry settings will now look something like this
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dolphin\dol_hook\itunes.exe]
"functions"=dword:00000000
"interfaces"=dword:00000000
"process"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Dolphin\dol_hook\itunes.exe]
"functions"=dword:00000000
"interfaces"=dword:00000000
"process"=dword:00000000
Now restart your computer before testing.
 
To revert this change delete the keys created.
