is it true apple created their own font to achieve godtier rendering?

>>58983370

They made a helvetica rip off after people bitched about helvetica on non-retina displays

>>58983398

>>58983436
that was the catch MEINU

Why would it surprise you that an OS would make a font?

Also, fun fact: Comic Sans was made for Microsoft Bob.

don't used displayport or hdmi
it's a known issue, when you turn off a monitor connected through dp or hdmi windows detects it as disconnected, nvidia nor microsoft addressed this "feature," but i think amd gpus don't have this problem.
write a program that saves window positions and restores them

this isn't a desktop thread. I understand you have a compulsion to show off your desktops on other boards because on the mainboard (/w/) you tend to be easily outclassed by other superior weeb desktops. but please stay on that board.

this thread is a discussion about apples proprietary font and their exclusive rendering engine (xquartz2d) who's sole purpose is to render fonts and has been written in PDF from the ground up, thereby achieving godtier status (imo).

>>58983676
XQuartz is an X11 port, Quartz 2D is what you're thinking of
>PDF
Is it? I thought it was PostScript

>>58983676
Trackpad and god-tier font rendering (all because Steve took a typography class once) are why I stick with macOS

Microsoft has had 17 (!) years to get it right and it's clear they never will

>>58983364
I don't understand what is so special about its font rendering. To me it seems comparable with Windows

Who gives a fuck?

lmao

>>58983364
macOS doesn't actually have god-tier font rendering, it just looks good because of the upscaling/hidpi, just like when you zoom in a website.

>>58983364
Yes, it does, it's called San Francisco. It has both a Screen and a Paper version.

>>58983396
They never used Helvetica as a system wide font, it started out with Lucida Grande, later on adopted parts of it with Helvetica Neue and now it's fully San Francisco.

>he doesn't know about god tier font rendering on pre-retina macs
Mac OS X used to have god tier font rendering, you can in fact still enable it in the System Preferences, but it's not enabled by default anymore. This is because ever since they released retina displays for the Mac line, they didn't have to need to use it anymore, especially now that they have the "perfect font" for displays.

Not the first time Apple contracted for new fonts to be made.

>>58984678
>you can in fact still enable it in the System Preferences
what setting

>>58986319
Not sure if this is what he's talking about, but there's something called "Use LCD font smoothing when available" in System Preferences->General.

No.

The Macintosh was the first computer to come with proper font rendering. Believe it or not, Steve Jobs studied calligraphy at university.
