Font is blurry. Please use subpixel anti-aliasing.

OS: Windows 10 1709
Resolution: 1366*768 14 inches

All fonts except Menu bar are blurry. I find boostnote is using grayscale anti-aliased.

Only fonts in Menu bar are using subpixel anti-aliasing.

but when I open the html exported by Boostnote in chrome, font is normal.

Maybe it's electron's issue, but I found it seems fixed in #6344.

So how to turn on subpixel anti-aliasing on Boostnote?

This is an issue with Electron, not Boostnote. When Electron is fixed, Boostnote will be fixed.

You can close this issue and track the progress upstream in electron/electron#8708

To solve the problem,
add the backgroundColor: '#fff', parameter
to the const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({ declaration
in the %APPDATA%..\Local\boost\app-0.11.12\resources\app\lib\main-window.js file.

for example:

const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
  backgroundColor: '#fff',  //<-- add this
  x: windowSize.x,
  y: windowSize.y,
  width: windowSize.width,
  height: windowSize.height,
  useContentSize: true,
  minWidth: 500,
  minHeight: 320,  
  autoHideMenuBar: showMenu,
  webPreferences: {
    zoomFactor: 1.0,
    enableBlinkFeatures: 'OverlayScrollbars'
  },
  icon: path.resolve(__dirname, '../resources/app.png')
})

@csadam thanks, it works. But it won't be applied after updating, I have to modify main-window.js again.
