defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 1
- mmariani 14y agoAre you sure? It appears not to work on Lion. 2012-10-10 21:29:32.922 defaults[24228:707] Domain AppleFontSmoothing does not exist
- arunoda 14y agoI'm on Lion too. It works for me. Look here - http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/09/mac-screen-blurry-optimize-troubleshoot-font-smoothing-os-x/ http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/09/mac-screen-blurry-optimize-tr... I steal it from there.
- cpeterso 14y agoHow can you tell if it is working? I don't see any difference (even after `killall Finder`).
- jasomill 14y agoInteresting. Looks like a bug unrelated to font smoothing, though: not only is the domain in the command defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 1 NSGlobalDomain (aliased to "-g" and "-globalDomain" per the man page) rather than AppleFontSmoothing, writes to nonexistent defaults shouldn't fail: jtm@socrates ~ $ defaults -currentHost find Corbomite 2012-10-10 16:04:05.566 defaults[2569:707] No domain, key, nor value containing 'Corbomite' jtm@socrates ~ $ defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain CorbomiteDeviceTimeout -int 1 jtm@socrates ~ $ defaults -currentHost find Corbomite Found 1 keys in domain 'Apple Global Domain': { CorbomiteDeviceTimeout = 1; }
