But on MacOS Mojave, especially for non Retina Display MacBook Pro, Apple turns off this setting as a new standard. This was felt by MakeMac Friends, Yudha Sancaka who conveyed this to me.
From Friend experience, the MD101 MacBook Pro computer that he uses instead shows a subtle font after upgrading to macOS Mojave 10.14.
Even when entering the Font Smoothing settings in System Preferences - General, it seems there are no significant changes.
Finally, he's and I found a Terminal command that must be done to make non Retina Display MacBook Pro computers be able to use Font Smoothing again.
The following is a guide to returning Font Smoothing on a non Retina Display MacBook Pro with macOS Mojave.
- Open the Terminal application. Can get through Spotlight help, or search in Finder - Application - Utilities.
- Copy and Paste the following command into Terminal: defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool NO
- Activate the Font Smoothing settings in System Preferences - General.
- Restart or Logout User Account on Mac computer.

Done, with this simple Terminal command you can use macOS Mojave on a non Retina Display MacBook Pro in Font Smoothing mode.
This setting will also be very helpful for Mac computer users who normally use external monitors and do not support Retina Display technology.
