Hi guys,

The Preview in El Capitan is not as sharp as in Mavericks. Anyone can confirm whether this is still bugs in 10.11.3?

Thanks.

It's still here. I press zoom in and then zoom to fit to correct it. Quite annoying! Just adjust the zoom level and it should refocus
Thanks Mcmeowmers. I might delay the update until this bug resolved.

If I compare with the Acrobat or Mavericks' Preview, the fonts are always more blurry. You can get a bit clear by changing the zoom, but still less sharp. I read a lot of pdf therefore this bug really affecting my reading experience.

Btw, thank you for the confirmation

It doesn't happen all of the time by the way!

under the preferences panel there is also a setting on the bottom of the general section called:

use lcd font smoothing when available.... unclick this and notice how ur fonts are no longer as bright and in a type of bold? that has helped save my eyes and the blurryness numerous amounts of time....
