Question

I have a Virtual Machine Windows 7 (using VMWare) with opened Sublime Text 2. Cleartype for the OS is enabled, but i don't see it's effect inside my text editor:

How can I fix that?

Was it helpful?

Solution

For some reason, not every font size in Sublime is rendered properly by ClearType, at least for some fonts, and this also varies depending on which version of Windows you're using. I've found through trial and error that either using Ctrl+/Ctrl- to increase/decrease the font size can help, as can altering the "font_size" option in Preferences -> Settings - User by increments of 0.5.

If nothing seems to work, try using different fonts - some may simply not look as good using Sublime's rendering engine.
