I think TextMate's line numbers are displayed in the same font as the main content area. But doesn't TextMate default to 12pt Monaco at install? I can't remember and deleted the app a long time ago, so I can't check. But if it does, then my original assertion still stands. > This is a windows one called coda I have some friends that use: > http://www.newgeo.com/web/misc/161951-cfi%20coda.png There's all kinds of weird-looking shit in Windows, so this one doesn't count. :-) > Coda from panic seems to have the same issues as BBedit > http://www.newgeo.com/web/misc/162011-codapanic.png The same issue? You mean they made the same *design decision* as Bare Bones. After all, it's not a bug, right? Just a design decision you don't agree with. > If it is 9pt and in a font that does not have a postscript version, > so, just a bitmap, like, the old standard monaco, it should show > clean.

The BBEdit 9.1 release notes said line numbers are now displayed in the system font. And upon closer inspection, they sure look like 9pt Lucida Grande. > I would love to know why BBedit made the change... That would be interesting to hear. I suspect it was not out of necessity, but rather a desire to "modernize" the UI. -Dennis --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BBEdit Talk" group.
