Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

10.0.19042.868, 1.6.10571.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Open Terminal and you'll get a blurry font that's hard to read.

Expected Behavior

I was expecting the font to be normal, not blurry.

Actual Behavior

The font was blurry. I changed it to Courier New, but it was still blurry.

The font is blurry in Terminal, but appears normal when PowerShell is run as a standalone application. It's also blurry in Command Prompt inside Terminal.

Can you try out the experimental rendering properties and see if that helps resolve the issue?
