#22Is the font rendering on this guy's site screwed up for anyone else? The "t"'s have something wrong with them: http://ompldr.org/vNzVrZg/why_i_wrote_a_programmers_text_edi... Firefox 3.6 on Linux.
Came in to say that his "t"s looked really weird. Chrome.

Chrome 8.0 on Windows 7, yes.

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is a programmers editor. From the population of people who use such editors, using Linux really isn't all that uncommon.
Sure. But for the power user, for the full-time developer, there's no point in going for something like Kod. Learning vim or emacs is actually not that hard. As Rasmus points out in this blog post, he's aiming for a different crowd: people for whom programming is a secondary activity.
I would suggest that even among the population of simply "power users", Linux usage is not uncommon.

He is using font face embedding of the 'Droid Serif'. Probably some issue with the typography conversion or with windows rendering the fonts badly (i get the weird t also in windows 7).

Yeah, it looks OK for me in Chromium (dev channel) & Opera as well.

#28Nice, just found Kod yesterday while browsing around Github and gave it a try. Really like the dark syntax highlighting, looks very pleasing. I seem to have a font-rendering issue though, the text looks kinda blurry.
This comment perfectly encapsulates the value proposition.

#29Look really nice. Too bad it's just OSX and as jjcm and xtacy pointed out, too bad it doesn't support vim or emacs bindings/integration in some way. I really like your UI choices borrowing so heavily from Chrome, though. Really do... updates personal notes
> too bad it doesn't support vim or emacs bindings/integration in some way. Well the bindings could probably be added[0], it's OSS and probably rather small still. Emacs integration on the other hand, that would be rather harder. [0] actually, since it uses standard Cocoa (text) controls it already has some Emacs-type bindings (C-a, C-e, C-f, C-b, C-k, C-p, C-n, ...) and you can define more (or redefine existing stuf…
Cool. Thanks for the resource! I've never used OSX, so I didn't know you could rebind the window manager's controls. Good stuff.

#30Love the chromium backend of it - I'd love it even more if it were merged with vim in a macvim-esque sort of way.
The description says its chromium-like, not that it used code from Chrome, unfortunately.
