iTunes 11 .... Font's heavily anti aliased?

Me too. These fonts are now a real challenge to read. How do you set them back to the previous ones (simply) - I use varifocal lenses and the way that the fonts show are terrible

To me it's all blurred.

Next to Mail.app the fonts are just much crisper in Mail.app

These fonts are terrible.

Click to expand...

Agree. Even on a retina MBP they look blurrier.

They look great to me on a 15" Retina. Is there any particular screen where they look unfocused to you? I'll be glad to screenshot and share the same for a comparison.

Very confused...

What's blurry?

I agree, the text is fuzzy. Looks terrible. Is this something to do with rendering on Retina screens?

Font smoothing in system prefs

I had the opposite problem... fonts in iTunes weren't using anti-aliasing, and looked chunky and horrible. I fixed it by adjusting my system preferences settings for font smoothing (it is under the General tab). Mine was set to 12 (which turns off smoothing/anti-aliasing for any fonts smaller than 12 point). I changed this to 8, and now iTunes looks much better (non retina).

iTunes 11 forces ClearType, the worst technology ever invented.

I like each pixel to either be on or off. I don't like ClearType AT ALL.

It's a problem with iTunes 11, not your screen. iTunes 10 didn't do it.
