Did you run the ClearType setup?

As for the Metro apps, you delete all of them and you're done.

Not all Metro applications use the same font rendering. The only ones that have the same font rendering as IE... are the ones being rendered by IE, i.e, HTML based applications. The other XAML based ones can continue to use either Silverlight's less than ideal text stack, or DirectWrite.

I just zoomed on your screenshot and confirmed it: the one on the left uses RGB Subpixel AA, the one on the right is grayscale. RGB looks much, much nicer when configured correctly, but with this new tablet craze the problem is that displays turn and rotate and then RGB looks horrible. So Microsoft decided to use the mediocre solution for everyone

I thought it was just my eyes, I was also having this problem but in windows explorer, that was with a upgrade from 7 to8 but did a format and full install , now it's gone.

ClearType doesn't helping.

IE10 (Metro UI Mode) for me is working better than Chrome and Firefox.
I can't find a fix for this (really bad) font rendering and need to stay on Chrome.
