Again, that's a matter of personal preference. And it's actually one of the many things I didn't like about TextMate. I see line numbers as part of the UI chrome, not user content. So it seems logical that they should use the system font like the rest of the UI chrome. TextMate, on the other hand, treats line numbers almost as part of the content, going so far as to even scroll them with the content area when you scroll horizontally. That just seems wrong to me. If there's going to be user control over this, one should at least be able to adjust the line number typeface separately from the content typeface. > As it is now, those line numbers are not point size adjustable, as > screen resolutions increase, this will become an issue. Yes, and so will all the other UI chrome in BBEdit, along with the UI chrome in the vast majority of other apps in OS X, including Apple's! Have you seen the tiny, anti-aliased text Apple uses in its pro app? But the industry is not going to switch to super hi-res displays over night. As the industry gradually changes, and Mac OS X completes its transition to resolution-independence, BBEdit and every other app on the system will adjust. I'm sure Bare Bones (and many other developers) have already given this at least some thought. But at this point, it's not something to worry about. -Dennis --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BBEdit Talk" group.
