Fully Disable Bold Fonts from the Editor Window #793

Closed ldts closed 11 months ago

ldts commented 1 year ago

I'd love to be able to disable all bold fonts from the editor window: when you suffer from astigmatism it just makes everything blurry whenever bold fonts are enabled.

One of the reasons I keep on going back to SlickEdit is that it allows me to do that - so no bold fonts on black background.

The TERMINAL has better readability than the editor window which defeats the purpose of the editor....

You can add config in settings.json to disable bold font:

"oneDarkPro.bold": false,

sure but it is not that. I also updated to code-insiders (using electron 25) and still didnt make a difference

why can the editor view have the same font crispiness than the folders or terminal view? do you think that would be possible

notice how the text on the left it is much more redable than the text on the right

Sorry for not noticing your image before, but your theme doesn't look like OneDark Pro. You may need to look in the theme docs to how to disable bold.

hi @zhylmzr um yes this is OneDark Pro with the "retro" look. I am using Liberation Mono - other fonts I find them hard to work with.

What I am trying to figure out is why the editor window fonts are not as crisp as the terminal or the explorer views. I wonder if font rendering is a problem in VSCode rather than the extension.

zhylmzr commented 11 months ago

Comparing the text of your editor and the terminal, it seems that you have added additional letter space, try:

"editor.letterSpacing": 0,

thanks a lot for your persistence on supporting me on this self-inflicted issue!. yes it seems this was the problem (I had set it to 1 when I was testing fonts and it seems I forgot about it).
