Need help from others to complete this.

Do you just need people to look at the images and tell if they're ok or not?

chrissimpkins commented 9 years ago

many of the fonts render differently on the various platforms. It would be helpful to know if there are dramatic differences for the fonts in the collection so that I can comment on it in a font specific readme file. Ideally, we post additional images for those fonts

Edit: I deleted my previous comment about subpixel ordering, I got tricked by your bright colorscheme. :)

Spacegray for Sublime Text: https://kkga.github.io/spacegray/

At first I assumed all pictures were JPEGs. FYI, every single image looks kinda weird to me. But it's really hard to tell what the issue is. For all I know, it's just the washed out colors playing a trick on my mind, making me believe that the quality is bad.

I'll see if I can find a similar color scheme for vim and compare, I don't have sublime text.

Do the images with the light grey background scheme look any better?

boblehest commented 9 years ago

Yes, they look better, but most/all of them still appear to have some aliasing.

Here's a comparison, "Consola mono" in gvim on top, and your image of the same font on the bottom:

I think the text on top looks a lot smoother.

Edit: That might be very subjective though. Maybe I'm just too used to the way it looks on my PC.

Some reads that I found that seem to get to the heart of this issue. OS X renders fonts differently than both Windows and Linux systems. What looks normal to me, likely does look unusual to you. OS X tends to have heavier glyphs with more antialiasing than you are used to seeing on either of the other platforms.

They are relatively old articles, not sure how much has changed in newer OS X versions.
