Fonts are too sharp on one PC. Anything I can do with this?

Question

tl;dr: One of my PCs shows a very sharp fonts with little or no blur even though Smooth edges of images and text is checked. I can resolve this situation somehow?

I have got two computers:

Windows 10 1909; Word 2010,
Windows 10 1803; Word 2013.

Second one shows totally sharp and crispy fonts.

Here you have an example. The same document, the same piece of text and the same font used:

My the only shoot was Smooth edges of images and text option. But that one is checked on both computers:

Anything else that I may try to resolve this?

For text in Word, please also try to go to File > Options > Advanced > Display , check the box of Disable hardware graphics acceleration.

"Start" -> "cttune", Enter. Adjust clear type settings to your liking.

If it doesn't help, you may try calibrate display and adjust it via graphics driver, but this capabilities are usually pretty poor.

Verify if the checkbox in old control panel is ticked (system / advanced / performance / visual effects) - at least it has an effect on my fonts in Firefox.
