Why is the font rendering so SHIT on windows?

Same font (fira mono) and software (atom) in both pics.

Nevermind the color and font size (it scales horribly on windows anyway).

Because the font rendering on Windows is garbage and nothing can change that.

lel

By the by, Fira mono looks like shit on Ubuntu because it's weirdly tall. The line spacing is mental. For some reason it isn't on Windows and Mac. Maybe I'm missing something.
>>
next time send a comparisson with the same theme colors and font size, nigger
>>
>>57632577
I literally don't see any difference except the syntax highlighting.
>>
>>57633534
Epic b8 friend.
If it genuinely isn't, you need to get your eyes checked. Or just open them more. I'm not even being a cunt, if you can't see the difference there is cause for concern.

I'm worried about you and want to help, anon. Unless it was b8, in which case fuck you with a lawn blower. On high.
>>
Fucking autist, it looks fine.
>>
>>57633712
It's not that it's unreadable on Windows, it's just not as eye-wateringly gorgeous as it is on Mac / Ubuntu.
>>
Next time do a comparison gif that has the exact same text with same color and font size. I can't see any difference apart from the oblivous ones.
>>
>>57632577
>windows screenshot is a smaller font size and has fucking jpeg artifacts in it
Absolutely retarded comparison. Save your images as a lossless format before you put them together in a comparison image you mongoloid

So many triggered windoze abusers. I could make wicked salt crystals out of their tears.

>>57633969
I'm on OS X fagweed. That doesn't make the OP comparison any less retarded.
>>
>>57633985
Perhaps not, but it makes you considerably more of a homosexual.
>>
>>57632577
yo, what lang is that?

i legitimately can't tell the difference help

is that typescript?

Looks like regular JS.
>>
>>57634021
That's fine for a tiny bitmap font honestly
>>
>>57632577
This doesn't look that terrible when they're scaled up this much. Still, using MacType can help a lot with fixing the default ClearType trash rendering.
>>
>>57634065

lol good one

I don't think that's what you should be worrying about, anon...
>>
>>57636271
But 2 spaces are scientifically proven to be the most effective.

Do you really expect anything Windows related not to be complete shit?
>>
>>57632577
Looks the same to me, to be honest famalama.
>>
I can't see the difference am I blind or is font rendering a meme?
>>
>>57634002
It's ECMAScript 6 (Javascript) and is of a Reactjs (facebooks view library) component
>>
Can't really tell difference in OP pic just the Windows is smaller.
>>
>>57637365
the difference is most visible with small font sizes, that's why comparisons like op's are retarded
>>
>>57634027
>>57634048

It's ES6 / babelscript or whatever. Don't be fooled, it's still shit.
>>
>>57636271
>macOS clearly scaled higher
>>
Just use mactype

>inb4 lol mactype

you can't just shitpost away a point like that

Mactype is good. Use it.
>>
>>57638335
this desu
there's even a fix to get it to work on the latest windows 10 release
literally no excuse not to use it
>>
>>57638335
is mactype on linux? I am down for some new fonts.
>>
>>57632577
Other than the subpixel rendering there is literally no difference.
