Issue

After updating to v2.0 I noticed that the font rendering is heavier than before. I’ve tried changing the fontWeight setting to either "light" or “thin” and there’s no change. Below I’ve included a screen shot of how Hyper compares to iTerm and Terminal.

(iTerm/Terminal/Hyper)

Editing other font values in my .hyper.js file does seem to work appropriately (fontSize, fontFamily…), so Hyper is responding to my .hyper.js.

Thanks

Oh, found that issue ticket. Yep, all the fonts are heavy / gravy meanwhile in iTerm2 you can get “retina” mod which makes them even more slim (I wish it would also trim down bold weights a little bit correspondingly but I’ve planted a ticket in regards already).

All-in-all: Hyper is close to unusable due to this.

@sikthought – I hate to do this, but your Hyper config is calling for “IMB Plex Mono”.
