Yep, this "modern" api originated in OS 8.5, was marked as
legacy in OSX 10.6, is carbon based (IIRC), and will be
deprecated in 10.8. Oops.
OMG -- you mean all this time I've been using BBEdit its text
rendering has been done by less-than-the-latest technology?? And
in the future that technology will be deprecated???!!!
This must be a severe blow to those suffering from the
technology disease -- you now, "needing" a new product the
moment they heard about it, feeling depressed as soon as a
faster model of their current computer is released, always
focused on what will come next rather than on what they can do
with what's available today.
Don't mean to sound critical of Gabriel or Neil, but IMO these
two posts don't help the OP or any other BBEdit users (no one's
running 10.8, for one thing). They just feed the disease,
stimulating more craving for updates, spreading the idea that
BBEdit is somehow defective or behind the times.
The OP had a genuine problem, and it's still not clear to me if
it's due to BBEdit, Lion, the MBP Retina Display, or the OP's
own settings.
Has anyone else with a Retina MBP had the OP's problem (poor
text rendering)?

No; we're using ATSUI, the other "modern" rendering API.
An article at
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/04/18/
apple_issues_xcode_44_developer_preview_3.html
states:
The [Xcode release] notes also cautioned that performance of ATS
APIs will suffer in OS X 10.8 because the ATS.framework is being
deprecated. Developers are instructed to replace all their ATS code
with CoreText as it will be removed in future OS X releases.
