I hope this can somehow improve the font situation. Even on a 1440p monitor, the fonts in Zed are much blurrier than any other editor I've used. I Can't even use bitmap fonts like VSCode.
- TingPing 8mo agoFrom what I see wgpu isn’t using the same font stack as chromium. I think the Rust community would be against those dependencies. You can just convert bitmap fonts, supporting them doesn’t make sense in 2026.
- fishgoesblub 8mo agobitmap fonts are the only fonts where I can get crisp, sharp, and not blurry text. I don't have an expensive "Retina" style display.
- bschwindHN 8mo agowgpu is an API for rendering stuff on the GPU, it has no concept of font stacks or text rendering.
- TingPing 8mo agoI was talking about glyphon, wgpu-text, etc.

- fishgoesblub 8mo agoTried it when it when that update released and just now, still blurry as ever.
- wmedrano 8mo agoDo you have a screenshot? I just tried Zed out on Linux and biggest issue was that it assumed an rgb subpixel layout. - https://pasteboard.co/ZDnQm80dHANx.png https://pasteboard.co/ZDnQm80dHANx.png - Top is wezterm which is correct. - Bottom is Zed which uses rgb. - Both are using Inconsolata though wezterm claims size is 16 and Zed is at 18. I don't have any screen scaling. *edit formatting
