This may be due to Electron, since I see you are using that framework.
It is known to show blurred fonts on NVIDIA graphics card (and perhaps others).

If I explicitly disable FXAA and launch the application again, it seems to have disappeared.
=> the app should set that directly, the normal user will have no clue about this (and it's not up to the user to do that). Or see with the framework provider if they have a new version with a fix for this issue.
