Making the text smaller like in sublime text 2

#1

I’m using sublime text 3 and I see a difference between de font / font size.

I see that in sublime text 2 the font is a little bit smaller or thin.

How can I do that for sublime text 3?

Sorry for my bad english.

If you look closely, it’s a little thin or the font is a little smaller.

There have been significant changes in the rendering backend between Sublime Text 2 and Sublime Text 3.2. It seems that you are looking for slightly different hinting and/or antialiasing. We don’t provide any way to configure that, but just work with what Pango gives us back.

Perhaps one option is to use a fractional font_size like 12.5?

Ah, ok.

One more question, what should I do for the errors to display like this: https://gyazo.com/dd6cdb01e4d698effe81cafb706289ca

That’s controlled by the setting show_errors_inline:

    // Shows build errors just under the line on which they occur.
    "show_errors_inline": true,

It defaults to being turned on, so it should Just Work :tm: without you having to do anything. That said, it does rely on the setup that you’re using to build programs to tell it where the errors are, so if it’s not working for you that might be why.

In that case if you can share your build information (in a new thread) we can probably help you work that out as well.
