I hope this can somehow improve the font situation. Even on a 1440p monitor, the fonts in Zed are much blurrier than any other editor I've used. I Can't even use bitmap fonts like VSCode.

Fixed last october

Tried it when it when that update released and just now, still blurry as ever.

From what I see wgpu isn’t using the same font stack as chromium. I think the Rust community would be against those dependencies.

You can just convert bitmap fonts, supporting them doesn’t make sense in 2026.

bitmap fonts are the only fonts where I can get crisp, sharp, and not blurry text. I don't have an expensive "Retina" style display.

wgpu is an API for rendering stuff on the GPU, it has no concept of font stacks or text rendering.

A text editor that can't render clear text is wild...
