but that's a system-wide behavior and all I want is text smoothing off
in Xcode source windows using the MPW font.
Any secret prefs I can set? :)
Not really a secret, but you can control the system's antialiasing
threshold on a per-application basis.
For example:
defaults write com.apple.xcode AppleAntiAliasingThreshold 15
There is another pref which is less known:
AppleSmoothFixedFontsSizeThreshold. That one only affects certain
fixed width fonts like Monaco. Not sure if it will work with the MPW
font.
I've found that antialiased 9pt ProFont is best for coding... but
that's just IMHO...

thanks! I was aware of ProFont but last looked at it years ago and
preferred MPW at the time, I'll revisit it.
But, I'll also check these defaults out, I didn't realize they could be
per app! Thanks!
