macOS: How to render thin(ner) strokes in Alacritty
After going through omakub 1 and its source, I wanted to recreate it on macOS as much as possible.
The first thing was to use Alacritty.
I had tried it in the past, but moved to Wezterm.
The reason I stopped was because there was no support for panes or tabs (which is by design) But now that I’m anyway using Zellij for that, I decided to give Alacritty another chance.
But default rendering looks fat (or bold) which I didn’t like.
Turns out I’m not the only one. See this issue.
Problem is with the macOS (things are OK - apparently - on Linux)
Need to set AppleFontSmoothing to 0 like :
defaults write org.alacritty AppleFontSmoothing -int 0
