I don't get it, /g/.

Why does the font look so sexy on Atom's website, but when I open the actual program the font looks like shit? This is a problem I have with text editors in general. I just want a pretty, sexy font.

You're new to computers, aren't you?

because Windows font rendering is terrible

>>61772041
I'm on Linux.

>>61772041
>>61772063
And Windows font rendering was better than the shit I have now.
>>
>>61772063
Change dpi settings.
>>
>>61772019
Let me guess... No 4k monitor?
>>
Change the font size, 18is good enough on a 1080p monitor. try to disable cleartype and use your favorite font.
>>
>>61772063
Look up how to set up fontconfig. The out of the box font rendering in Xorg is almost as bad as Windows's, but it can be among the best.

Ubuntu is the only distro I know of that has good pre-configured settings.

>all text on my computer looks different from screenshots of text taken on other computers
Have you considered that maybe you fucked up your font rendering?
>>
Also the font changes for whatever OS you're using.
>>
>>61772019
Ok, let me guide you through this
>Have windows
Enjoy being cucked and not be able to change anything. Font rendering sucks for you.
>Have Gnu+Linux
Install fontconfig, pick a setting you like. Be done with it.
>Habe OS X
>>>/trash/
>>
>>61772063
Linux font rendering is even worse

The photos on the atom website are obviously running on macOS, nobody but turbo-autists still Windows and Linux.

That was not what he was implying you fucking retard.
You may be experienced with computers but you are a fucking retard when it comes to reading english.

Install Ubuntu until you learn to configure files.

Holy fucking shit dude, this is an insane example of autism even for /g/'s standards.

>>61776735
I'm maintaining lists of games/movies/books/anime/manga and also libre.fm for music.
This least is not just a list of beaten games but some more interesting stuff. I want to complete all retro FPS games that have some heritage and impact and i'm just marking them

>applel uses linux font rendering

>>61772063
the website is using it's own fonts (because your browser is not using your system fonts)

http://ix.io/w6A
might help if you're using anything but ubuntu and a new freetype
>>
>>61772019
Set the editor to use bold/medium font weight. It's way more comfy, mine looks just like your screenshot.
>>
blurp
>>
>>61776532
why does it look like the text was stretched horizontally?
>>
>>61776754
I can dig that reasoning.
>>
>>61776532
I like VS Code better than Atom but the fonts look even shittier there.
>>
>>61772019
it's because that shot is for macOS, it actually does look that good on macOS due to superior font rendering, but you're a subhuman winfaggot, so sucks to be you

its a fucking webbrowser just like atom, the only difference could be if the theme uses different -webkit-font-smoothing setting (which you could override if you dont like it)
