Re: Xcode fonts blurry
FYI, I use my 17 with my 27 Thunderbolt display and it works fine under all Mac operating systems from the past few years. Using it with a 15 retina MBP also works fine. It's more readable than the 15. This is just for reference. Is there a Thunderbolt adaptor for your 30? It is running off the Thunderbolt port and the pixels are perfectly sharp, but Xcode seems to use font smoothing when running on a Retina machine, even if its windows are being shown on an external non-Retina display. Font smoothing just makes Monaco 9 look terrible. T. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Xcode fonts blurry
I have a 30 Apple Cinema Display that used to be hooked up to a 17 MBP. I just upgraded to a 15 MBP with Retina display and have the 30 Cinema display hooked up to it via a Dual Link Adapter. So I have the built-in retina display and a 30 non retina display. I am running 10.9.5. On my old machine I used: defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode NSFontDefaultScreenFontSubstitutionEnabled -bool YES To make Monaco 9 look sharp. That doesn't seem to work on the new Mac. I assume that Xcode is seeing the retina display attached and not allowing me to disable the font smoothing. All my fonts in Xcode look blurry when running on the 30 Cinema display. How can I make the Xcode usable again? Thanks, Trygve ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
