I just this on Twitter. I haven't tried it, so I can speak for its ability to do what you want. In Terminal, simply issue:
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="">defaults -currentHost write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 0</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Then restart your Mac.</div>

Gary,

<div class="">I guess you would need a sub-4k display in order to answer my question. Thanks anyway.</div>

I have a MacBook Pro that drives a 27" 4k display and a 27" 5k display. Fonts look good to me on all three. Actually, they look GREAT on the MBP and 5k display, but that is another story.

of my disappointments with several versions of macOS through Mojave was the poor font rendering from PDFKit (i.e., TeXShop and Skim) on sub-Retina monitors. I cringed when I updated straight from 10.14.6 to 10.15.6 thinking that it could get even worse, but
was shocked when I discovered that Apple seemed to have finally (after several years) restored effective font smoothing in PDFKit in Mojave. Since Apple often seems to move in mysterious ways, I have to ask if anyone knows if the effective font smoothing is
still there in Big Sur or if they’ve taken it away again.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: MesloLGM-Regular; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class="">
