Regarding the o’s and 8 being filled. Don’t enable font-smoothing when using MiscFixedSC613 font for Mac.

If you want font smoothing, download and use SECOND link/font on that page. In Mac, it will have the font name – “Fixed”. It looks great on Xcode!

BTW, thanks for sharing the link to that page. I’ve always like 6×13.fon, but couldn’t find it on Mac even after a long search. Your post made my day! )

The “defaults write com.apple.Xcode AppleAntiAliasingThreshold 100″ worked for me, not adverse effects yet that I have seen.

Hmmm, Ulf – doing the defaults write thing in terminal fixed my flood filled o’s in emacs. Not sure if it would have other adverse effects, but you could do this do turn off font-anti-aliasing in xcode:

defaults write com.apple.Xcode AppleAntiAliasingThreshold 100

If it does more harm than good, you could turn it back on:

defaults write com.apple.Xcode AppleAntiAliasingThreshold 0

I’ll try it and comment back (didn’t think to use this font in Xcode, great idea! … haven’t yet integrated emacs as xcode external editor, ala: http://mark.aufflick.com/blog/2004/08/23/sensible-emacs-usage-with-apple-s-xcode)

Hi!
I love the 6×13 font when coding and downloaded the fonts for use in Xcode, but as You mentioned all o’s got flood filled and that i haven’t been able to solve.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Regards,
Ulf
