Not sure if this is of use to anyone, but there is already VPRenderer implementation in the code which makes sure you render text correctly in VP2.0. For this to work though, you need to make sure you set

#define USE_MUIDRAWMANAGER true

in defines.h file.

I guess blocky text problem occurs in latest version is because Core version of Opengl requires shader driven code base for proper rendering & not the legacy style codebase. Either one needs to implement shader based approach or simply use alternate implementation using MUIDrawManager using method mentioned above.
