why the fonts in word 2013 are blurry?

Anonymous

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"

If you are using windows 8, do a search for ClearType Text and enable "Turn on Clear Type". That fix my problem for me.
