I hope this can somehow improve the font situation. Even on a 1440p monitor, the fonts in Zed are much blurrier than any other editor I've used. I Can't even use bitmap fonts like VSCode.

From what I see wgpu isn’t using the same font stack as chromium. I think the Rust community would be against those dependencies.

You can just convert bitmap fonts, supporting them doesn’t make sense in 2026.
