@jeder entirely custom pixel perfect rendering is when you develop an IDE only on hidpi displays, make every mistake every rendering engine devteam has already made, and it looks like utter dogshit elsewhere because of that

@halva @jeder hm also i guess lack of rgb subpixel rendering could play a role on lower resolution displays

@pierogiburo @jeder oh bold of you to assume the 🚀 BLAZINGLY FAST 🚀 RUST BASED 🚀 MODERN 🚀 text editor would use some off the shelf solution

@halva @jeder well i mean you can still use freetype to build font atlases and then do your gpu rendering with them
