Hi guys

Happy new year!

I would like to share with you a need.
I have different screens of different DPI and my view is not getting better.
Now on retina the fonts are either too small (zoom 100) or too large (150)
so I end up having blurry fonts.

I would like to know if the situation could be improved with font that have a larger spectrum of sizes.
May be using the fonts of the OS could help too.

Any idea and help is welcome.

Look at Cuis. Juan Vuletich has implemented a beautiful rendering system beneath Morphic which can render fonts accurately under magnification and rotation. This is done in a classical BTTF Plugin, the VectorEnginePlugin.

This video of his talk at Smalltalks 2025 demonstrates the system.
