I just opened this up on macOS and the very first thing I noticed is that the bold font rendering in the UI looks like shit. The letters are all squished into each other. Is this just something weird with my system? GIMP 3.0 has been in testing for long enough that it's hard to believe this is a widespread issue that wouldn't have been found and fixed before release.

GIMP is notoriously bad on macOS so no surprise. It's unfixable. Just buy Affinity Photo if you need a professional software.

Unfortunately we don't have as many macOS testers so we tend to get less feedback. However, it looks like it's an issue in one of the dependency libraries - there's discussion at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/12736#note_2372962 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/12736#note_2372...

  Huh. I genuinely didn't expect photo editing software to be lacking users on macOS. I hope the GTK team figures out how to consistently load the right font here. A lot of great work seems to have gone into GIMP 3, so it's a shame that a bug like this makes it look unpolished.
