Lowtax asked all the people who matter and did a test/feedback cycle. You just weren't invited.

Antialiased text looks loving awful and is going to be the leading cause of eye issues in five years. The new text looks like dogshit for anybody with good vision.

Mange Mite posted:pretty sure antialiasing is controlled by your computer not the website Serif fonts are anti-aliased. Old font that isn't ClearType is typically aliased unless you have ClearType on in your program and/or OS. These fonts look okay on mobile but there's no way around them looking smudged or blurry when blown up to monitor sizes. http://annystudio.com/misc/anti-aliased-fonts-hurt/  If you aren't blind, this poo poo will soon make you.

Lowtax is adding a $10 feature where you can upgrade to a font that wont blind you though.

I love having my eyes constantly shift like a Dorito staring at wall after playing Guitar Hero for twelve hours. Sorry man but not everyone has an OLED monitor or poor enough vision not to notice the smudginess. I wish the text looked great because caveman text sucks but the technology just isn't there yet. The other forum changes are great and all I'm hoping for is a toggle between old and new font Serif looks great on mobile though

What browser? This is what the forum text looks like on my monitor (Dell something) in Chrome:   The ghosting/smudges/streaks on text are hard to focus on and give me (and I know a few other people) headaches while reading. It's not really an aesthetic issue as much as a health issue. It really is painful.  Ugly (although non-eye-strianing) text:  edit: Here's what it looks like on 6+. Click for big, you'll see it's very, very smooth
