		sapiogram 81 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Zed: High-performance AI Code Editor This comment is incorrect, I have tried the editor on both MacOS and Linux, and texts looks like crap on both if you're using your screen at its native resolution. The difference is easily visible in screenshots. Example Zed screenshot, using "Ayu Light": https://i.ibb.co/Nr8SjvR/Screenshot-from-2024-07-28-13-11-10...

Looks like anti-aliasing on a hi-dpi monitor which you shouldn't do.

It's not, the font renderer just sucks outside of high-DPI displays.

It looks ok to me, definitely not blurred. If you do not like it so thin you can increase the font weight or change the theme?
