Description
### Description
Compared to other applications and Element Web in Firefox, text appears blurry in Element Desktop.
### Steps to reproduce
- Open Element
- Observe any text
Example screenshot taken with system font Arial, 14pt in a random matrix room:

(open in new tab so it is unscaled)
All fonts in the UI are affected, not just chat messages. I don't have any other applications where I have seen this problem before. In other applications and Firefox, fonts look very sharp by comparison. This is the same text screenshotted from Element Web in Firefox 82:

Through older issues I've found https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/faq.md#the-font-looks-blurry-what-is-this-and-what-can-i-do and it very much looks like that problem, but as I understand this is supposed to be fixed already?
