How can I get Xcode to antialias 10pt Monaco?
Wasn't there a hidden defaults setting for the monospace antialiasing
threshold (separate from AppleAntiAliasingThreshold)? I can't
remember what it was...
Go to System Preferences, and choose the Appearance preference pane.
Adjust the value for "Turn off text smoothing for font sizes X and
smaller" (it's at the bottom of the panel)
This doesn't work for 10pt Monaco. It is still aliased. Terminal has an
explicit option to enable antialiasing, but Xcode does not. I have to
use something like 11pt Courier to get antialiased fonts in Xcode.
Monospace fonts seem to be excluded from the text smoothing threshhold
(which I have set at 4). But I recall (from 10.0? 10.1?) that there is
a hidden setting you could set via defaults, I'm hoping somebody
remembers what that is.
