Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version
  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

Issue

I'm quite ready to switch from default Mac Terminal, but I find fonts are not sharp enough. I have used 12px Hack in both, here's the screenshot for comparison:

Any idea how to have as sharp fonts as in Terminal?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the font comparison on macOS with Hyper.app 1.4.8 and 12px Hack, using the linked .hyper.js as configuration context. Compare the rendering against the supplied screenshot and default Mac Terminal; completion should include a verified explanation and resolution for the sharpness difference.
