You can turn on anti-aliased fonts by clicking the bottom right hand corner menu button
Interesting - meanwhile, I found it refreshingly easy to read.
I found it hard too. Perhaps the difference with the other people responding is the size the font is rendered. On my screen, the distance between the top of a "d" and the bottom of a "y" in the body text is 7mm. That corresponds to font size 18 in Word, or 22px in the browser, so basically a chapter heading.
Yeah I started to read the article, went into the CSS, disabled the custom font, and continued reading.
Then I went on HN to read the comments, and found out there is a toggle to get an anti-aliased font…
What made me switch the default font off was its color fringing, like it was being displayed on a CRT display with poor convergence.
Goes to show the difference in preferences people have. I found the pixel font quite nice, but loathe having to read any serif font, even on paper.
I had to go back to the page to check that it actually uses pixel font. To each its own I guess. For me the font was barely noticeable.
