Improve legibility by disabling font smoothing #177

I use this app daily, but never got around bringing the following issue to authors' attention:

Legibility can be greatly improved by disabling font smoothing. The benefit is especially prominent on non-retina screens. Please Stop "Fixing" Font Smoothing is a great article on the topic, explaining why this feature is better left untouched.

What platform are you on?

I have to say I strongly disagree; on every platform I've reviewed Sassmeister (including my retina MacBook Pro—at any resolution—and my cheap 1680x1050 22" LCD) non-antialiased text looks hideous.
