I installed Zed and tested out a bunch of fonts on my 1440p monitor. It looks decent, but not great. I think that's more a byproduct of Windows' awful font rendering in general though moreso than a Zed specific problem. VSCode is no better.

Seems like the only way to get high quality font rendering these days is a 4k+ display.

Just be aware that half the population prefers Windows font rendering.

Fair point. Maybe I should have said something about modern fonts not being properly hinted for windows instead of placing all the blame on the OS.
