Xinelo 7 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I'm running High Sierra and just updated Evernote. Font rendering is now much worse. Don´t know if it's quite visible in the screen attached, but... Anyone noticed this? 5 Link to comment
GMacdonald 8 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Yup. There is is. And yes, I too am running High Sierra on both an iMac desktop, and an MBAir. And it all looks just as awful as your screenshot. Thanks for posting. Meanwhile, I have found no way to contact Evernote, as all pathways also seem to have problems. If you get any feedback, perhaps you could share again. Link to comment

Nick L. 682 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Thanks for reporting this issue. We're currently aware of it and will be looking to resolve as soon as possible. This beta post highlights this issue as well as some other pressing ones we're aiming to fix by version 7.7. Thanks, 1 Link to comment

evernote-user-178 0 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Seeing the same thing - it's distracting to the point of unusability. Hope for an emergency fix soon! Link to comment
evernote-user-178 0 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 While we're waiting for 7.7, could Evernote provide downloads to earlier releases so we can use it without the font rendering issue? Link to comment

Hi, same problem here with High Sierra. It would be great if we can downgrade Evernote software to previous release in the meantime. Anyone has found a link? Link to comment

See these 2 posts: On 11/28/2018 at 10:22 AM, RTnotes said: I found version 7.5.2 on cdn1.evernote.com : dmg, zip. However, I think it would require me to completely delete all my notes that have been downloaded locally. I had tried to downgrade and the (older) Evernote app said that my data was being managed with a later version). Since I wasn't quite ready to do that (and I wasn't sure that I would get all of the folders/directories and files), I upgraded to 7.6 again. Given the work-around above, i.e. opening a note in a new editor window (i.e. double-clicking on a note or right click --> Open Note in New Window), version 7.6 is fine for now. If only it would work the same in the main editor window ... On 11/28/2018 at 11:39 AM, DTLow said: Yes; the database and app usually have to be the same version. My process is to delete the database folder. It will be rebuilt from the server when I login (except for Local Notebooks) Link to comment
Simon Thomas 0 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Recently installed High Sierra on my 2011 iMac and with the Evernote 7.7 update got the same ugly font rendering/aliasing issue as mentioned above. Please prioritise a fix for the next update as font rendering is fundamental to usability. Link to comment

Same happened to me: iMac mid 2010 updated to High Sierra suffers bad font rendering, while MBP end 2011 that remains in Sierra has a normal font view. this issue is lasting too long in my oppinion, and should have already been corrected.

lpuerto 16 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I really don't understand why this haven't been fixed yet... I'm also looking for alternatives to Evernote. 1 Link to comment
DominiekC 4 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The program is no longer usable on macOS High Sierra (10.13.6) : the notes are almost unreadable, with any font. Evernote has become unusable ! Version 7.8 didn't fix the issue ! Me too : looking for alternatives Link to comment
lpuerto 16 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 For me the biggest issue here is, it's a known problem since mid-November... we are in mid-January and the solution isn't even being tested in the Beta channel. Sometimes I feel that Evernote focuses too much in design changes in the fiel of aesthetics instead of work on usability. 2 Link to comment

treecyclist 0 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 This is ghastly. Text smoothing is completely gone and the contrast of light text on dark background is very poor. With some help from this post I was able to restore the previous Evernote + prefs + database from the backup I (thankfully) did a few days ago. Link to comment
BV76BiG 0 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Was this ever fixed !? Initial posting was in November of last year!!! Is it time to look for an alternative to Evernote? Things are getting worse from one version to another, with useless features and it seems breaking the product itself! Link to comment

Also, I appreciate the additional information you've provided. I understand that it's a known issue of updated Evernote version on Mac devices. Our technical team is working on a fix for this, and we're planning to address it in an upcoming release.

DominiekC 4 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I've given them one more upgrade to fix the issue. It is not fixed in version 7.9 ... so I've cancelled my Premium subscription and I've migrated all my notes to Notion. I have had enough patience ! 2 Link to comment
Raphael Fuzari 1 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 just sharing some workaround: Install 'nativefier' using homebrew, than convert https://evernote.com into app. Now you can use the webapp like a native app and the text will not be wrong. I know that is not the same thing, but its only way that i found. I hate so much this text bug, but i love evernote and i can't use another application. install homebrew: https://brew.sh/index_pt-br nativefier link: https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier 1- install homebrew, 2 - install nativefier: open terminal and run: brew install nativefier 3 - than you can convert the webapp, run in terminal: nativefier https://evernote.com nativefier will create the application on the home folder, than you can move the application to your applications folder. sorry if something is wrong with the text, English is not my first language. 1 Link to comment
Brizone 1 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Migrating to Notion, I'm so done with Evernote's lack of interest in fixing this for their customers. 1 Link to comment
Sylynn 1 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Amazing. It's been over a year since this post was originally made, we've had MANY updates since then and this issue still hasn't been resolved. I've actually had better customer service from Walmart than from Evernote. Like others have said, I think it's time to move on from this app. 1 Link to comment
DominiekC 4 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I've moved on already, months ago. Indeed, no customer service at all. Link to comment
Christoph from Germany 0 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 By now, we are in December 2019, and in Evernote 7.13 this issue still is not fixed! I am using a MBP 2015 with Mac OS Catalina 10.15.1, and my main monitor is a Dell U2715H at 2560x1440. The font rendering is just a pain on the eyes. Link to comment
spirkaa 0 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Any news? How many more years should pass? macOS 10.13.6, Evernote 7.14. Text looks like in 1995. Link to comment
DominiekC 4 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 No idea ... I've left Evernote for this reason. No support, no fixes for bugs ... no reason to pay for such software ... Link to comment
kvigsbo 0 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 It is now February 2020 and the problem is still not fixed. I have used Evernote for years, so I am sad that I now find myself looking into replacements. Notion.so is looking like a great candidate. Link to comment
mcmullan0 2 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Hi, I've only just encountered this problem (Oct 2020, version-7.14) and it seems only to effect code blocks that I have pasted in from MacDown. Also, these same code blocks are not blurred on the web app so I'm hopeful this is an easy fix. I was wondering if this problem was something anyone else has just started to experience and whether there is a solution. Thanks Link to comment

I was wondering if this problem was something anyone else has just started to experience and whether there is a solution. Thanks Just a quick update, not solved but a further problem occurred that macdown text copied in to a note somehow made the note too large to upload. I'm not sure if this is related to the blurring. I did find that if I copied the text directly into the note online, it went in fine. It would be good if the Team could address this blurring issue as I continue to use Evernote in the hope that it gets solved and my notes become readable again. Perhaps others could suggest alternatives to Evernote, also with methods of transfer? Thanks Link to comment
