[MlMt] Fuzzy text - just me or ...?

I just downloaded 5537 and noticed that the text in the sidebar is
slightly larger than in the previous version I used and also a bit
fuzzy.

It kind of looks like the text has been increased by 5-10% and the
scaling has been done by increasing the pixel size (not the font size).
The screenshot shows how it looks like.

Is it just me or ...?

Mine is a little larger (I like that) but it is not fuzzy… The text
looks nice and crisp. The icons are a little soft looking though.

Turns out that both text and image issues were MailMate “bugs” in
the layout of the new mailbox list (some times MailMate placed text on
non-integer positions). Sorry about that. It should work better in the
latest test release.

Perhaps this will be useful (I don't know because I'm still on
razor-sharp Mavericks) -

I am experiencing same thing, but on my external Dell monitor. It looks
fine on the original MacBook retina display.

Same - on my non-high DPI external LG, lots of blurry fonts - mostly in the folder pane more than anywhere else.

(also just switched glasses/lenses, so it's doubly confusing as I adjust to these new specs ;p )

Issues in other parts of the interface than the mailbox list are more
likely to be a general issue with fonts on Mojave.
[Googling](https://www.google.com/search?&q=macos+font+smoothing) might
help.
