Be happy that in Mac OS world you can still "downgrade" to previews version, it will come the day they won't let you downgrade once you upgraded, like in iOS world.

Yes they will tell you it is for your "safety" and for your "privacy", it will come.

That is very true! And as a (still tiny) fraction of us know, those who are willing to give up privacy in the name of security will deserve and receive neither!

The examples below are from a mounted dwg and the sidebar of an application but ...

My mind
I was thinking of finally updating to Mojave but after reading this thread again after all these months, I think I'll stay on High Sierra.

I sold my 2015 15" i7 MBP a year ago and kept my non retina 2012 to use.

I never really saw the problem on my 2015 non-retina Air. Maybe it's visible if the Air is connecting to a monitor but on the normal laptop screen there's no problem with Mojave

The subpixel font rendering engine that used to produce beautiful fonts on macOS is gone! There are a few "fixes" floating around here, they don't bring the old engine back and the results are not acceptable in my opinion. Let me save you the 2 day restore process I am in the middle of downgrading to High Sierra.


Not possible..Well... My Mac is 2017.. so technically i could, but i like Dark mode too much to change now.

That would basically wipe out the entirety of Apple's product line in one fell swoop .

To me, the difference is obvious, especially with the Dark Mode turned on.

But the old subpixel antialiasing engine is still there, just need to be enabled again, so there is no reason for panic as this thread calls for.


So what's the deal? One person says it's gone, another says it's still there.

Please advise...thank you. :)

I guess that's the problem with fora: so many people have problems, so many haven't.
I suppose that in many cases the cause of problems with new releases is to be found
in innocent or unsuspecting changes someone may have made in the past.
In this case .... make a good backup, try the new release, restore back if it doesn't work properly.
In other cases, realise what you're doing when making changes or using weird software.
;JOOP!
