rendering the fonts in word 2013 is horrible! 

Will Microsoft change it?

This is a similar problem like with Internet Explorer 9 & 10.

What is going on?

IE8 works good, Office 2010 also...

Then?

Microsoft 365 and Office | Word | For home | Windows

Check under File>Options>Advanced>Display and check the box for "Use subpixel positioning to smooth fonts on screen" and also try changing the setting for "Disable hardware graphics acceleration"

    Go to File -> Options -> Advanced

    Under Display, check Disable hardware graphics acceleration

    That's all you need to do and you don't need to restart anything.
