How to Turn off/Disable Font Smoothing on Mac OS X

If you’ve recently switched to OS X, then you must have noticed smooth text fonts while browsing sites on the web browser. The reason for this is smooth font rendering, which is enabled by default on Mac OS. Font Smoothing is actually a good feature, but most users especially those who have ported from Windows to Mac may find it pretty annoying.

That’s because a majority of sites use small-sized fonts that appear pretty darker and without any sharpness when font smoothing is On. This makes it difficult to read the content and might cause strain to your eyes. So, let’s see how to overcome the problem of smooth fonts on Apple Mac OS.
