How to reinitialize AppleFontSmoothing for your terminal in osx?

I wanted to change the font on iterm which was blurred, so I use this defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 3 which make the apple-native terminal very bad (and blurred), so now I want to go back to my terminal, uninstall iterm and don't touch anything.

I use this command line: defaults delete NSGlobalDomain AppleFontSmoothing

and

defaults -currentHost delete -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing

And it doesn't work, please help I miss my terminal.

Thank you

The command you entered, 

defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 3

should just be changing the boldness of the font. You could try to write it to something less bold like

defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 1

Otherwise, you could try resetting your terminal preferences completely by going to home->Library->Preferences and deleting com.apple.terminal.plist
