If I enable this option which is enabled by default this problem occurs. But  this problem  happens only with  the application I have developed.


I suspect you are using a layer-backed view. NSTextFields with no background color will display without sub-pixel anti-aliasing on layer-backed views. If you want the text to have sub-pixel anti-aliasing, give the text field a background color.
