Hello Jeremy!
For me, that seems to be normal for desktop sites on mobile devices (that's one of the plusses to use MobileFrontend :P). For example see the Nexus 7 Screenshots from Wikipedia and another website (on the other website you see the difference between the "normal" font size (very little and blurry) and a bigger font (better to read)). If you zoom the site in the browser, the font is much clearer and bigger, so better to read, so on Android tablet, I think on iPad, too.

Normally the user will be automatically redirected to the Mobile optimized site (MobileFrontend) with an iPad, so, if he want to see the desktop site, he must opt-out with the link at the bottom.
P.S.: Sorry Jeremy for sent this mail twice, in first mobile-l wasn't added :)
Kind regards Florian
Freundliche Grüße Florian

Hi,
(see also my other mail just now on mobile non-app feedback in general)
In this case I searched bugzilla for ~5 mins and didn't see anything relevant and so I forward here. Although, maybe I used the wrong search keywords. (quicksearches were ":mobilefrontend summary:text", ":mobilefrontend summary:font" and ":mobilefrontend blur". and then I realized of course this isn't MobileFrontend at all and tried again with "ipad|ios font|text|blur") I don't see the issue myself but I'm not looking on an iPad. It may be valid or WORKSFORME or fixed but not yet deployed.
At first glance this seems like Brion's kind of bug?
I just asked the user about the rendering with MobileFrontend. (I guess they must have opted out because it's such recent feedback? given the recent switch to redirect tablets also by default.)

Just to report a bug - Since today, the text became blurry on the main content area of the site while visiting wikipedia on a non-retina iPad in portrait orientation (the top and sidebar remains sharp). You can find a screenshot in attachment. This also happens while visiting articles.

Well, I don't think any of that is relevant here. It's not such an unexpected use/edge case that we should ignore regressions or just tell people they should be using MobileFrontend.
The user says it's a new problem. With a regression you can at least do a binary search of the git commits and minimize a test case to narrow down the cause. Unlike implementing a new feature or fixing a bug that we might have always had. (or have had as long as the corresponding feature existed)

Only since we started redirecting tablets too. (in the last ~2 weeks)
