Sorry, but the issue there definitely lies in the device you use, not in Marvin. Judging by 2013 standards, non-Retina devices are simply outdated. Yes, it's bad of Apple to release a device (iPad Mini) with an obsolete screen as late as in the fall of 2012, but that's what happened.
I can't wait to buy an iPad Mini; it would suit me perfectly, as a secondary tablet; but I've held off buying it precisely because its screen is not up to today's standards, as you are observing yourself now. I assure you that on my Retina-display iPad 3, the fonts in Marvin couldn't possibly be crisper!
While I applaud Kris for supporting old-generation devices such as iPad 1 (I still own one of them and use it daily), iPad 2 and iPad Mini, and I hope he will continue supporting them, if I were Kris, I wouldn't lose any sleep over
fonts not being
crisp enough when displayed on old-generation screens. The fonts aren't crisp enough, because the screens on those "legacy" devices are no longer good enough -- it's as simple as that.
