This was especially true in my first screen shot. After playing around with my fonts, I do not believe my second screen shot (which IS different from the 1st) has this affect to the same extent.

Often when I read threads such as these, I play around with my fonts to see if I can understand what the complaints are, ... and typically I'll end up with a similar configuration, and still happy with my fonts.
I do note I often need to pull out a magnifying glass to look at the fonts, to see the difference. Perhaps my relatively poor eyesight is one reason why I'm not so particular/fussy about fonts.

My screen resolution dpi was 86x86 by default. So out of curiosity, I did change from the default sax2 setup dimensions value (on my PC) from 376x301 to 337x269. That changed the reported screen resolution dpi to 96x96. Although I confess that after having done that, I don't see any difference. I'm not saying there is not a difference, ... its just that my eyesight (and perhaps my attitude toward fonts) is such that I don't notice a difference.

Indeed ! Me too, although I find the font size that I need to read, is typically much larger than many other users.
