How To: Fix subpixel antialiasing in macOS 10.14 Mojave

If you’ve installed macOS 10.14 Mojave and the font rendering seems a bit off, you’re not alone.

Apparently, Apple adjusted the subpixel antialiasing process, makes non-Retina displays appear somewhat blurry.

Thankfully, one Alexander Yakusik has come through with a fix that he posted to the mighty GitHub. Simply enter the following command into Terminal and reboot your Mac to turn off the subpixel antialiasing and restore the same font appearance as before:

defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool NO

The lesson of the Day: Terminal remains all powerful and can generally come through in a pinch.
