Editor font looks blurry, misaligned and ugly in 2023.1 on Windows 10 in light mode

Thank you very much for reopening this bug. This blurry text causes significant eye strain in visually sensitive people, making it a lot harder and highly uncomfortable to use Unity on a daily basis.

In my case, I have Font Smoothing disabled system-wide. Windows itself shows perfectly crisp text everywhere: file explorer, Visual Studio, SmartGIT… However, Unity 2023 shows blurry text everywhere, even with Preferences > General > Editor Text Sharpness set to 1.

Right now I’m stuck at Unity 2021 because Unity 2022 still shows blurry texts in user scripts that doesn’t have a custom inspector. Please provide a way to disable font smoothing completely in Unity.

Here’s an example on how terrible Unity 2023 text shows compared with all other applications:
