I'm using a macbook air 13" (2014). The terminal commands below make fonts slightly more tolerable to my eyes. Enter without the quotes.

"defaults write -g AppleFontSmoothing -bool True"

Then:

"defaults write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 2"

Confirm setting with:

"defaults read -g AppleFontSmoothing"

To return to Apple's original setting:

"defaults delete -g AppleFontSmoothing"

Make sure LCD smoothing is enable under General in System Preferences. You might need to log out or restart before the changes take effect.
