Text rendering seems too thick #12835

Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

CleanShot 2024-06-10 at 10 35 33@2x

Font: Berkeley Mono Variable Font Weight: 400

Compare VS Code (left) to Zed (right). Irregardless of my font, the rendering of text strokes in Zed seems thicker throughout. This makes Zed look less crispy on high-end displays and harder to read on low-end displays.

Environment

Zed: v0.138.6 (Zed) OS: macOS 14.5.0 Memory: 32 GiB Architecture: aarch64

This seems to echo what was said in #7992. I'm going to close this: be sure to +👍 and follow the other thread. However, if you think it's unrelated, let us know so we can reopen it.

@Moshyfawn Hmm, not sure I agree—on my high DPI MBP the text still doesn't look correct. But I suppose it's worse on low DPI.
