Ugly fonts

<< < (2/2)

Awesome Donkey:
Yeah, fonts need some antialiasing, IMO. I'm holding back my feature request on this for MC23 (to have smooth Retina Mode-esk looking fonts without enabling Retina Mode).

I believe Hendrik is aware of the jaggy-ish fonts on both Mac and Linux. Enabling Retina Mode on Mac does help with the few skins that support it, but skins with gradients it messes them up and I don't know how to fix that. :P

AntaresFR:
Yes I changed fonts from there.
Helvetica 13 is acceptable but not as smooth as on Windows. It's strange for a mac :D

blgentry:
Ok, wow.  I had forgotten that MC's fonts on a non-retina system were a little jaggy.  I just turned off Retina mode to test.  Yes, the fonts definitely are jaggy/low res.  They aren't horrible.  Just not sharp and smooth.  When you turn on Retina mode, you can definitely see the difference.  On my older 15" Mac without Retina I hardly noticed until someone pointed it out.  Then I went back to not really noticing.  But on my larger screen, it's far more obvious.

Brian.

AntaresFR:
Yes, it's far better on windows !
