OK, I recall having the problem with Monaco 9 rendering
incorrectly in Xcode source files a while back. I must've done
something to correct the problem. But now that I got my new Mac
Pro and have added NO new fonts to it, Xcode is again using some
horrible kerning or something with Monaco 9. My system pref is set
to turn off text smoothing for font sizes 4 and smaller. I tried
changing it to 10 and smaller, but that didn't affect Xcode's
display at all (even after quitting and relaunching). I've also
tried setting the Xcode pref to 9.1pt or 8.5pt. Both appear to
round the size to 9pt. 9.5 works, but reading 9.5pt Monaco in
source files is just sick and wrong. :) It's too large.
When will this be fixed? How can I workaround the problem without
changing fonts? Monaco 9 has rendered *perfectly* for, what, 20
years before it started having problems in Xcode. Why the problem
in Xcode. Works great in Mail..
Have you tried rebooting? We've seen a problem here where the
system font cache becomes gradually more corrupted for Monaco in
Xcode, with an increasing number of characters rendering
incorrectly. Rebooting seems to cure it.
I've seen this - every letter 'x' in Xcode started looking strange
but it fixed itself after a few days for no apparent reason. I
thought I was going mad.
