Hi again,
This should be a known issue as it was raised before. The problem occurs with any font. It has to do with the VM as far as I understood. I am not sure what is needed to be done, though.
I know this was raised when the retina display came out but I did not follow any development since I was not using one. Now, I thought it had been fixed because, surely, I must not be the only one using a retina macbook with Pharo? Anyway, I can understand if this is a known issue but is it well understood what should be done?
What version of Pharo? 30856
What version of OSX? 10.9.4
What fonts? Any font that I can select in Pharo actually.
thanks for the links below. I will try and report results. Johan
I'm not sure of these details, but it will give you some things to think about and try (and someone can correct me otherwise). * Pharo's default font is still a bitmap StikeFont. * StrikeFont bitmaps are sub-pixel anti-aliased. * Sub-pixel anti-aliases * Retina display sometimes have sub-pixel rendering turned off, or maybe otherwise problem.
Try... * Choosing a TrueType font * Changing some OSX display settings * http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/8277/how-does-apples-retina... * http://superuser.com/questions/457153/getting-crisper-fonts-in-os-x-after-sw... * http://www.macworld.com/article/1145157/smoothsnow.html * http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/8277/how-does-apples-retina...
