Are you upgrading to Mojave? Blurry Fonts..

[Rocko99991]

Are you going to upgrade to Mojave knowing Apple got rid of subpixel anti-aliasing making the fonts blurry?

I upgraded this afternoon, and honestly I don't really see any difference. Maybe it's because my eyesight isn't what it used to be, but yeah, from what I'm seeing the whole thing is kind of overblown.

I just installed Mojave and the fonts are blurry on the News app, can you check that app and report with your observation... Thank You!

Yeah I was poking around on the News app just a little while ago, and I just don't see any problem. Now like I said, my eyesight is not what it used to be, and since there was no News app on High Sierra then I can't compare it to what I was accustomed to. I'm sure other people have a different definition of blurry than I do, but I'm perfectly happy with the upgrade.

Yes, upgraded iMac, MBPr15 and 2 Mac Mini Servers to Mojave this morning. Haven't noticed any blurry fonts. But then again, I'm old and the close up vision is beginning to fade.

I didn't know, and I don't know why there aren't sticky posts everywhere! Would have saved me a lot of trouble, and literally a million other users!

I think it depends upon Retina display or not - there are several threads about it - look around

 

[CreeptoLoser]

Blurry and kinda pixelated too

Yeah, this thread was originally in the MacBook Air section, so I think all replies are related to that rather than the retina displays. I'm on a 2017 Air.

[doublepost=1537908307][/doublepost]Geez, something went wrong with that reply lol. In case it wasn't clear, this thread was originally in the MacBook Air section, so I think the replies are related to the Air or other non-retina displays. I'm on a 2017 Air.

The new font smoothing is ugly, but not nearly as ugly as in Windows, so I can learn to live with it.

Plus, it gives me incentive to get a new Mac.

Nah. Remote Desktop'd into my windows system from Mojave showed how much better windows font rendering is than Mojave.

It would be helpful if someone could post a pre-Mojave screenshot of a web page and a Mojave screenshot of the same web page, for comparison.

+1 I'd also like to see how the font rendering now works in iTerm2/Terminal or Visual Studio Code? Any screenshots are highly appreciated!

I have gone back to High Sierra and this is all true.

Even on 5K screen it looks off/Blurry and "Dark mode" is Terrible.

I love apple but why are they trying to make the OS updated on Mac like the OTA iPhone updates. That's Silly

Did you turn font smoothing off? I personally see no difference otherwise.

I am considering going back as well. Fonts are blurry on my mac mini set up after update to mojave.
