I hope this can somehow improve the font situation. Even on a 1440p monitor, the fonts in Zed are much blurrier than any other editor I've used. I Can't even use bitmap fonts like VSCode.

From what I see wgpu isn’t using the same font stack as chromium. I think the Rust community would be against those dependencies.
You can just convert bitmap fonts, supporting them doesn’t make sense in 2026.
wgpu is an API for rendering stuff on the GPU, it has no concept of font stacks or text rendering.
bitmap fonts are the only fonts where I can get crisp, sharp, and not blurry text. I don't have an expensive "Retina" style display.

Fixed last october
Tried it when it when that update released and just now, still blurry as ever.
A text editor that can't render clear text is wild...
