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

[steffi]

To me it's all blurred.

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

These fonts are terrible.

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.

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.
