Since current screens: 1. have very poor pixel density 2. have *different* pixel densities it's very difficult to predict when this rounding will occur. The font that seems thin to you may be bold for your neighbour, just because he has slightly smaller pixels and the rounding gives 2-pixel-width on his screen and 1 on yours. There's basically no way to give good results to everyone till screen pixel density increases. The attempts to compensate in software typically degrade in blurry/dirty fonts at small sizes (just your complaint) Are fonts blurry at big sizes? If not that just mean on your hardware pixel density is too bad to display small sizes crisply (you have the same effect for text × 10 on TV screens) -- Nicolas Mailhot
