ok, this is my first try with Mojave on a MB Air 2017
the OS fonts appear definitely more blurry and thinner to me, no doubt about it
with font smoothing turned off text is close to unreadable
drafting emails becomes difficult
web browsing is OK
I do like certain things about Mojave, like the dark mode but the OS fonts ... oh boy
sometimes the trackpad seems not to respond to single clicks or double clicks .. strange
Good I installed Mojave on a separate volume and still do have HS waiting for me whenever I decide to return

I do experience the second example on my MB Air screen
this is clearly related to the pixel count
zoom in on the letter "N" in the above and below screenshot and count the steps forming the diagonal line connecting both vertical lines
as expected many more tiny steps on a retina screen
much fewer bigger steps on a non retina one
zooming out again, this is what makes it blurry
If I bought my Air yesterday, I would return it and invest my money in something else
with Mojave, non retina screens are a thing of the past

yes, I did this
I love APFS, setting up volumes is easy and simple. sizing is dynamic
partitioning was a real PITA in comparison

I have two 1080p IPS external monitors hooked up to my 2017 15-inch MacBook Pro. Fonts do not look as good as they did on High Sierra. On the MacBook Pro's screen itself, fonts appear to be fine.
There is a difference.
