On: MacType: Better font rendering for Windows

[dhritzkiv]

The removal of subpixel rendering since macOS Mojave is only an issue on lower pixel density screens. On >150dpi (or thereabouts) displays, text is very nice (IMO, I suppose).

The vast majority of external screens in existence are lower than 150dpi. Most high-end/high refresh rate screens are similar.

Yup, even a 31" 4K monitor has less than 150dpi. The current monitor I'm using right now has little bit less than 100dpi. Still, gotta say I prefer MacOS/Gnome-style font rendering to Windows, sub-pixel rendering and all the stuff clear-type does just makes the text look _bad_ (but surprisingly readable).

Apple either wants you to be hunched over its laptops and develop bad posture, or to buy its $1500 monitor that only does 60Hz.
