And I have worked in the print field for the past 36 years, so I’m familiar with fonts.Ĭan you also not read magazines and books unless they are in large fonts? It’s not even a particularly light weight font compared to some others. There’s nothing wrong with Helvetica Neue. But i have to do it with reading glasses on. I can read the fonts on my non retina display 24” iMac from 2009. Get your eyes checked, you need reading glasses. Think about where the System font is used The menu bar, finder windows etc. I’m always puzzled when people say they can’t read the font on OS X.

Bad choice, it has been a bad experience for many of us and it makes me not want to update software from them again. It makes me think Apple didn’t test OS X Yosemite on any machine older than 2014 model years (I have a 2013 MacBook Air 13″), they just put out the Public Beta, ignored everyones bug reports (I submitted a dozen, including about the text, none were addressed), and pushed it out to meet a deadline. Then I use mine and it’s like a completely different experience.

The inconsistency drives me nuts too, one of my friends with a new MacBook Pro has no problems and I go use their computer and it looks nice and everything works. I really don’t like OS X Yosemite, it needs a lot of work and shouldn’t have been released to the public in such an inconsistent state. Or if you don’t know what that’s like, it’s kind of like trying to read while having wet swim goggles on, or even water in your eyes that you have to blink out a few times before vision regains itself. Someone described it as picking up someone elses prescription lenses and putting them on, that’s fairly accurate. The text is just enough out of focus to make your eyes ache as you read, it’s still readable but it makes you feel like you need to squint to enhance the sharpness, except that no amount of squinting improves it. The blurring font thing is very annoying, I have it on a MacBook Airs (and the blur even exports to an external HD monitor, so there is no respite except using OS X Mavericks where the blur problem does not exist), it looks like someone applied a light blur effect to screen text. Of course, another potential cause of some of the font complaints may be the odd font smoothing behavior in OS X Yosemite which curiously only happens on some Macs, with the result producing screen text that looks blurred and out weirdly out of focus.Īnyway, if you’re bothered by Helvetica Neue, Comic Sans is probably not the answer except to get a good laugh. On a non-retina display Mac I tend to agree with the complaints, and I personally modified OS X Yosemite to use Lucida Grande again for that reason, along with Increase Contrast it makes reading the Yosemite interface on a MacBook Air with a regular display much easier on the eyes. Some designers insist that readability suffers with Helvetica Neue (the new system font) and is significantly worse compared to Lucida Grande (the old system font in OS X). Looks great!Īnd yes we’re poking fun a bit here, but the new thinner system font in OS X Yosemite has been fairly divisive and has frustrated many users. This amusing find comes to us from FAT Lab, who also provides this amazing screen shot of their own Comic Sans’ed Yosemite Mac, which is complete with a bunch of ridiculous Dock icons.

And yes, if you do this as a prank, you should absolutely let the target know how to undo this. If you want to reverse this, and you most certainly will unless this is a prank, simply remove the two fonts you added from ~/Library/Fonts/ then log out and back in again.

Here’s what you’ll want to do to replace the system font of OS X with the universally lambasted Comic Sans font face:

Want to try it yourself? Of course you do, it’s a piece of cake to install and easy to reverse too. As you’d probably expect, Comic Sans is a goofy system font and looks ridiculous. You can cheese out your own Mac or play a hilarious prank on someone, or on a more serious note, it may be a decent system font for a kids workstation. This is obviously a joke (and the idea originated as one too), but it works and makes for an amusing look to OS X Yosemite.
