Horrible Label Display on the Map

[LeonZhou]

I am playing around with the silverlight API.  When I load my map services, the label is horrible.

Map service is dynamically generate the data, not tiled.
Using the ESRI Showcase Map application to view the map service. 
The label text is totally non-recognized. 

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks.

I am playing around with the silverlight API. When I load my map services, the label is horrible.

It's likely because the service is defined this way at the server side.

To test without Silverlight, you can request your map service by adding '?f=jsapi' to the URL (e.g. http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Demographics/ESRI_Census_USA/MapServer?f=... ).

Do you see a difference with SL API result?

thanks for your response.  Just tried, it looks OK since it's a testing service, but I do can see them clearly.

Please see the attachment. thanks again!

It looks like the diffrence is just the backgroud.
Try setting a white background to your map.
