Why does electron have broken text rendering? Surely the Chrome browser’s tendering does a good job? Or do you mean something like “it doesn’t match system defaults”?
- badsectoracula 8y agoNot matching system settings (not just defaults, but the setting, i set the settings for a reason) is broken!
- blattimwind 8y agoThis. It's a bug to use a different text renderer than the system, because it will never look the same and with text this is very noticeable and irritating even to some people. You do _not_ want your core visual to be irritating.
- jcelerier 8y ago> Surely the Chrome browser’s tendering does a good job? it has always looked terrible to me when comparing to other desktop apps. All the fonts look more blurry.
- tpush 8y agoVisual Studio Code on macOS right now has broken font rendering, since it uses Skia via Electron instead of macOS' native font rendering. It's fixed in upstream Electron but until a fixed version is integrated into VSCode I have to live with (months of) broken font rendering. It even makes me want to use Xcode somewhat. For all its flaws, its font rendering is just the system (working) one, and scrolling in Xcode is actually smooth 60fps instead of the laggy mess that is VSCode.
