Hello!

Can anyone with a non-Retina MBP share his/her thoughts on the new system font adopted by Yosemite ? Putting up some screenshots would be awesome! Thanks

Way too thin. I can barely see a thing on my 27-in iMac at native resolution. Eyes are in perfection condition according to specialists.
But then again, I have always found the elements way too small at native resolution.

HiDPI mode makes it gorgeous though, but I lose 3/4 of my screen estate...

Looks fine to me. I haven't had any problems reading the font.

This is reassuring. I hope I will not have any problems reading the font on my 1680x1050 AG display (which I absolutely love ) when Yosemite is out. Looking forward to some screenshots in case you have time to post them!
