1 Introduction
Big resolution with small screens is more and more common and we're facing a problem on fonts visualization. We have a lot of non adapted fonts for retina display, even if most of them are not so bad. The solution is to install additional fonts to replace the default one. One of the best one I've seen is Infinality fonts !
