Fonts blurry on MacBook pro Catalina OS 10.15.4 MacMail 13.4

How do I fix the blurred fonts that occur in MacMail v13.4 on Catalina OS v10.15.4? See attached images for what is happening. I have Use Font Smoothing enabled in Settings -> General.

Based on our troubleshooting, it could be a possible bug.


You could try first re-building the application.


To rebuild a single or multiple Apple Mail mailboxes:

  • Open the Mail app, and then, select one or more mailboxes.
  • From the Mail app's menu bar, select Mailbox > Rebuild


To rebuild the Mail app message database:

  • Quit Mail (if running)
  • In Finder, navigate to:
  • ~/Library/Mail/V3/MailData
  • Drag the following three files to the Trash:
    • Envelope Index
    • Envelope Index-shm
    • Envelope index-wal
  • Relaunch the Mail app.


If this will not work, you can try re-installing the app by re-installing your macOS. But I think it is better to inform Apple about this by contacting their support.
