Re: RDI on Retina Display Mac

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm working on my Windows machine rather than the mac today but I've
downloaded that font and it seems decent.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm not sure if it is possible to set ACS to use that font is it?
I've installed it on Windows 10 but I can't see the font when I try to Edit
| Preferences | Font from the ACS Client Access menu?

thanks and best regards,
Craig

Hi Jon and Mike,

Thanks for your replies.
Here is a link to a screenshot I took:

www.greywidget.co.uk/rdi/RDI_SS.png

My guess is that rdi/mac has guestimated a font that it thinks would be
best based on what rdi is coded to use, and making a hash of it. (I have
a similar issue with chromium on linux and for the life of me I can't
get it to give reasonable looking web pages even with, as far as I can
tell, setting the same font choices as firefox.)

Perhaps try installing https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Inconsolata and
changing rdi to use it. I've found its one of the best readable fonts at
small sizes, which is great if you like a lot of your code on the
display.

I also use the font (the bold version) as my font of choice in my
termainal programs as I tend to have things like "watch cat proc/mdstat"
and "top" running all the time and it allows me to show a lot of data,
using tiny font sizes, on the screen and still be readable.

I haven't had a chance to try anything else yet, but I'll reply if I get
any joy.

I'd be interested to see what you think of the screenshot - if you agree
that it is not sharp.

best regards,
Craig
