Sublime Text 2 and Lion HiDPI, possible?

#8

I guess this post has become a lot more relevant since yesterday, yeey! :smiley:

Looking forward to using a Retina Macbook Pro for my development work. But I’ll hold off on buying it for a few more weeks, let’s hope Jon gets around to adding support for it in the near future.

I got this problem exactly like the first post’s images, but I do not turned on the “HiDPI mode”,
I am using a Mac mini (OS X Lion) with a 23" LCD (1920 * 1080 resolution), its very horrifying looking at those font. I hope Jon can help with this issue. Really really thx.

I also use the HiDPI mode on an “unsupported system” - MacBook Air hooked up to an external Monitor in my office.
Therefore I second the an implementation of the HiDPI Fonts and Icons!

I can confirm that using the new retina MB Pro, Sublime Text 2 is less than desirable (when all the other text on the screen is crisp, the blurry text of sublime actually gives me a bit of a headache when trying to read it).

I’ll just add my confirmation – SublimeText 2 (along with a billion other apps, it seems) doesn’t render text correctly on the new Retina MBP.

Cheers,

+1: HiDPI support is definitely a very important feature - looks terrible on the new Retina MBP at the moment.

Sorry, but now that ChocolatApp has it, it’s probably something that others are looking for.

I’ve got a retina MacBook Pro on the way, so I’m definitely hoping something will be done. I imagine it might be difficult to update the theme(s) though, so I assume it’s going to take some time to decide how to handle it (e.g., scale up non-HDPI images, look for images of the same name with an @2x suffix, etc.).

Tested ST2 on a retina macbook and can confirm the text looks horrible. Looking forward to seeing this fixed (the text rendering fix should be a no-brainer at least :).

+1 - just cracked open a retina MBP and Sublime was one of the first programs to try and get running. Would love to see the retina support added for text. Can live with the icons.

Out of curiosity to those who’ve already got a retina MBP, how does it look if you switch the screen resolution over to scaled 1920x1200?

Font rendering looks pretty terrible on the Retina MBP. I can live with the theme images being a little under res for now (although resolution independent theming would be fantastic!). However, it really makes Sublime unusable as a text editor until the font rendering can appear unpixelated.

It’s extremely difficult to notice any artifacts from the resampling unless you’ve got your nose pressed up against the screen. Super readable and crisp (for apps that support HiDPI).

This is now a part of Nightly build. No theme supports it yet though?

Bwahahahahaha. Yeah, no, at least one theme supports it.

It’s already supported?

Nilium even had a bit of shameless self promotion above.

This is still a problem and the #1 reason I don’t use this program. I own it, but I don’t use it. Notepad++ and every other app on my machine can render text just fine at the standard DPI settings on any of my machines. Why can’t this one? To say hardware needs to be able to support it, first, is an invalid statement.

In fact, I just found this info from another forum on another site: “It’s easy to fix: 1. Right click on the app’s icon 2. Click on Properties 3. Select the “Compatibility” tab 4. Check the “Disable display scaling on high DPI settings” option 5. Click apply 6. Re-open Sublime text” That worked. Seems like laziness that it takes 3 years from the last post on this thread before mine and nothing has changed.
