Hey rob74! Antonio here, author of the post.

Zed is not constrained to use fixed-width fonts and supports all kinds of fonts, monospaced and variable-spaced alike (ligatures and contextual alternates included). Even though we use a glyph atlas, we rely on CoreText for shaping and rasterization (rendering sub pixel variants as well). In practice, this means that text is indistinguishable from a piece of text rendered by the operating system.

Does your framework have any accessibility features? I'm a screen reader user and having responsive UI is wonderful as far as it is accessible at all.
