I've been using cuis smalltalk with proportional fonts, even a slightly cursive looking one.
And before you get your pitchforks out, that's from a longtime (since 1998) vim user, whose other current weapon of choice is a neovim setup which acts as as its own multiplexer, thereby replacing gnu-screen (tmux for the rest of you).
In cuis, the morphic graphics system has been rebuilt to be entirely vector-graphics based. Entirely. Everything. The text rendering is beautiful. Each window can be scaled up or down with just a right click to bring up the 'halo', and then just drag the icon. The fonts are redrawn with vector graphics. There is zero quality loss, up or down.
Scaling up or down to cater for different dpi screens is no longer an issue.
The beauty of it is actually a little inspirational, as silly as that sounds. You feel like you have an expensive Japanese-nibbed fountain pen, and high quality parchment, and it forces you to write something.
(yes, the rendering quality remains, even if you also rotate the window as well).
- slim 3y agoone trick that always impresses is when you rotate the window and scroll the text.
