In my MBP I recently noticed that all fonts got thin and because of that they are somehow uncomfortable to read. It happened only to my account, when I create a new one, everything is ok. It affects all fonts. Here's the example - new account vs my account (image is zoomed in to show the problem on pixel level).

I tried to tweak CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled and AppleFontSmoothing from terminal but they seem to not affect anything (even after system restart). I even used TinkerTool and tried to disable font smoothing there, but it also doesn't change anything.

What is the culprit? I do not want to migrate my whole account to new one - this must be fixable somehow. Does anyone know what to do?
