Font smoothing for pdf files in OSX Yosemite Safari vs Skim I produce a lot of pdf files using LaTeX and thus, I also read a lot of such files. After the update to OS X 10.10 the fonts are not smooth anymore. However, Safari seems to handle it much better than Skim (see screenshot for comparison). 

The option "Use LCD font smoothing when available" is enabled; without it, the texts are almost unreadable. Anyone has any clue how to make the font looking better?

Hardware: I use non-retina MacBook Pro 2011 + Fujitsu 27" LCD attached with dual-head DVI.
This bug appears to be fixed in 10.10.3. 

I can confirm (with Pixie) the rendering is the same in Preview, Skim, and QuickLook, at least with subpixel rendering forced to 2.
