Fuzzy fonts when using Adobe products

I have recently bought a Sharp PNK 321 4K screen with a brand new MacPro that runs 8 cores, 32gb of ram and and AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB.


I was hoping for fantastic images and a red hot computer. I use illustrator, photoshop and indesign about 80% of my day. the rest is email and Excel


I do get red hot images but i get very blurry / fuzzy font when i use any Adobe products. It's not just the fonts "in" a program, but all fonts when i'm using Adobe. For instance, Finder is fine when I'm searching through Apple finder but the fonts are fuzzy when say i cam in InDesign and need to insert an image


The menus in all Adobe products are also fuzzy as well as any text that is in Acrobat. Excel and other Window products are fine. Apple products like Pages look great. So too the software like Evernote, Safari etc.


It is only Adobe products that have fuzzy fonts.


Has anyone else experienced this and got a fix?

Thanks for taking the time to answer


ive been on the adobe website too and it seems it is an adobe ui issue. They are saying than anything below CS6 wasn't designed to run on high res monitors or retina screens. If you have CS6, you can get an update or patch to fix it. Or as they say "put up with fuzzy fonts, bite the bullet and buy cc or a non retina screen." i think they missed the class customer service 101.


All other fonts in other software looked fine. Eg MS Office, pages, Evernote etc etc bit was just adobe products
