[BUG]: Ace Combat 5 HUD is slightly different in hardware mode

[mirh]

Describe the Bug

While I was trying to evaluate #6626, I noticed that the image still has some noticeable quirks if you put screenshots back to back. In particular, compared to software mode :

• the d-pad should have more separations between the buttons (and "down" and "left" look more like boxes than arrows)
• the line near the bottom-est "50" mark should be straighter
• the UI top left is actually more of a perfect square rather than having a rounded corner

Reproduction Steps

Just change between software and any of the hardware modes

Expected Behavior

To be absolutely fair the last bullet point does look intuitively better in hardware mode than software (and even for the others I don't really have a reference)
And nothing of this is a big deal. Still? I don't think any difference is supposed to be there.

Most likely differences in line rasterization and/or edge AA.

Preround might help the sprites.

I did quickly test #6553 to no avail

Fixed by #14029

Software gets the right UI rounding and alignement (including the 60° radar fov marker being properly centered on the plane icon)
Hardware gets the wingmen commands d-pad with the proper spacing between buttons.
