Fixed last october

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

Do you have a screenshot? I just tried Zed out on Linux and biggest issue was that it assumed an rgb subpixel layout.

- Top is wezterm which is correct.

- Bottom is Zed which uses rgb.

- Both are using Inconsolata though wezterm claims size is 16 and Zed is at 18. I don't have any screen scaling.

*edit formatting

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.

I was talking about glyphon, wgpu-text, etc.

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