+1 for making that configurable. I don't like font smoothing in Vim, and if
there's a risk that this switch introduces it, I'd like to have a means to turn
it off. However, I would prefer to avoid a separate (and Windows-only)
configuration option, imagining that in the future, there will likely be similar
rendering-related options, and that these unnecessarily pollute the namespace of
`:set` commands.
How about making "directx" a (first) value of a new generic 'guirender' option?!
Instead of
:set directx
make it
:set guirender+=directx`
This option:
- has a name that clearly conveys its purpose
- makes sense on all platforms
- allows for future extensions and (comma-separated) alternatives in a familiar
and proven syntax
