How to Fix Blurry Fonts in MacOS Mojave / Catalina for Non-Retina Displays

Raw

defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool NO
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 1

Light font smoothing defaults command (my selection):

defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 1

Medium font smoothing defaults command:

defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2

Strong font smoothing defaults command:

defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 3

Thank you for this! However, I think this works only on high DPI displays. In my 1080p display it only makes it look worse 😢
