SIZE=1 Text is now blurry? Remove this text

1. Is it just me, or is size=1 text now really blurry?

2. If so, why?

Maybe some demonstration text would be of help...

I see great minds think alike.

Seems ok to me too.

Yup... even when wearing the reading glasses, it's STILL blurry. This is NOT just my far-sighted vision.

Tired of ads?

Try lowering the brightness of your monitor a little and see if that clears the text...
Mine if I set it to normal or more blurs the text making it almost impossible to read, lowering it makes it better after a while.

This is an overnight change and my reading glasses don't help. So either my eyes were shot to hell quite literally overinight and for some reason Size=2 text is still crystal clear while Size=1 text is now blurry because of some incredibly weird defect in my eyesight that developed overnight, or something changed either in my browser settings or Apolyton (or some odd combination of the two).

look for the text size on your explorer. I had some problems when it changed automatically ( don't know why ) to the smallest.

That text is smaller than size=1, compare the lenght of Skankys text from your screenshot with the same text in mine.

This text: "Maybe some demonstration text would be of help..."

What browser are you using?

I'm telling you, is the text size of your navigator... well, only if you use IE, I don't know how the others work... or you should give it a try with the ClearType.
