Code editor font doesn't look as nice when resized larger

[ghost]

Very small code Brackets, even increasing, the source is strange

Now, the source of the Sublime is exellent

@vinigordex You're saying the default font size is too small? But it sounds like you already tried View > Increase Font Size and that didn't help? Can you explain in more detail?

@peterflynn

Well, I tried increasing yes, only the source is distorted, "strange", and looking at the Sublime which is the default font ai, are giving to see perfectly.

What I mean is that the default font Brackets, is not legible, if they put similar to Sublime would be perfect

Right? or Not?

@vinigordex Can you post a screenshot where you've increased the font size? Your only screenshot of Brackets just shows the default font size, so it's hard to know what you mean by "strange."

And actually the Sublime screenshot above looks strange to my eyes :-) The characters look oddly vertically stretched -- is that the default font Sublime uses on Linux, or have you customized it?

@vinigordex It is the default font for linux Sublime!

Here is the picture, now increased, and is .. let's say "IT IS GREAT, BUT ALSO, LITTLE WHILE" and is strange anyway, compared to the default font of the Sublime

Reviewed, low priority to @peterflynn

@vinigordex It sounds like the appearance at the default size is fine, but you like to use a larger font size, and the appearance at a larger size is not as good. Does that sound accurate?

I'm going to change the issue's title to make that more clear (was: "Difference in source Brackets vs Sublime Text").

As a workaround, you can follow these steps to use a different font: Customize Your Code Font.

(Fwiw, I think the standard Brackets font -- even on Windows -- does look kinda bad if you go one notch larger than the default size. The leading looks a bit wide and the characters seem every so slightly stretched horizontally, as in the second Brackets screenshot above. But if you increase the font size any further, it looks fine to me).

Ok, I'll do it

The default font in Ubuntu Brackets could be Droid Sans

Or another idea is for the View menu, a choice of font, and with two sources, one primary, standard, and secondary would this Droid Sans
