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?

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"
Ah. Hmm my problem was specific to office 365's word program. I hd no other issues with the font. That does sound like a graphics issue with your browser, and the parameters which are set for it.
No he has no problems, he is using Windows 8.x - IE10+11 under 8.x has greyscale blurred rendering which looks fuzzy when text is small or blurred when text is big, but it never looks good as no cleartype rgb is available ( as was under vista/7 ) . The very same illness that word 13 and all modern apps suffers from.There are thread on this board where people discuss IE11s issue in the same manner like this thread here leads nobody to nowhere..
People why don't you simply see that all complaining is useless. There is no bugs to workaround, it is by design intentionally. Office 13 and W8.x are made that way. Nothing you can do about it and MS will also not do something. They had time since 2012 but it does not happen. And Win10 / Office16 will be no better. Go figure, register for the Beta Program and install them, you find the same and worser issues.
Ah. Hmm my problem was specific to office 365's word program. I hd no other issues with the font. That does sound like a graphics issue with your browser, and the parameters which are set for it. Check out the settings for your browser. And fyi: I don't know anyone who uses IE...... Firefox, chrome, Safari, but it's been years and the last person was my 80 year old grandmother. No insult, just saying it's kind of ****.
On my Win 8.1 x64 machine IE11 looks blurry but Chrome looks fine. And I guess many others has the same experience. So I wonder, how can MS accept this fact? This huge problem remains month after month, year after year without no change. I am truly surprised of the MS negligence and ignorance.
I feel your pain.
I checked disable graphics acceleration, but unchecked "use subpixel positioning". After for S&G I did the cleartype ****. It seems to resolve my issues.
FYI:
I have an Acer M5-583P running win 8.1 build 9600. CPU: Core i7-4500 (1.80 GHz with 2core 4 processor). Integrated graphics with intel driving them. FYI my display color / clarity blows on this thing. It's over saturated and the gamma is never right.
