Rendering on Windows 7 not fixed-width? about meslo-font

[clippit]

Same issue. Here is a sublime 2 screenshot. When font_size is 19, it looks well.

I came here with the same issue. What I noticed "2" has problems on some font sizes. Maybe more symbols have such issues as well but not discovered yet.

I'm also having similar issues. I't not only in SublimeText, I've checked e.g Ms Word and it's still the case.
When I set the font size to e.g. 9, 12, 13 or 14px - it stops being a fixed-width font.
font size 12px:

font size 13px:

Also when I set the font size to 10pt - I see strange "artifacts" (rendering?) on some characters when they are bolded ('=' looks like the bottom line is twice as bold as the top one and 'g' has a big dot over the top of the letter).
What's strange is that it only happens when the background is white:

it's fine when bg is dark:

Same issue here, and just as golovan pointed out, it seems it's the number 2 that has a smaller width than at least the rest of all numbers and letters.

I just released v1.2 that will hopefully fix these problems.

Wow! Good gift for NY! Will be testing now. Thanks :)

andreberg, yes, this version is working great! But you know.. what I noticed right now, with this option

"font_options":
[
    "directwrite"
], 

1.0 version is working as well... Just noticed that.

Thanks a million one more time!

[andreberg]

Thanks for testing.

That's pretty interesting. I don't recognize this option... it doesn't look like a Registry setting.
Is it from Sublime, or somwhere else, if I may ask?

andreberg,

yep... I found and used this sublime's option recently. Some info is here http://deldy.dk/post/sublime-text-directwrite or you may google it.

[andreberg]

Ah, right... now I remember. I think I read something about DirectWrite on the ClearType technology site some time ago. Off to check out Sublime now tho :)

Thanks @andreberg very much! Font looks great! And thanks @golovan for the sublime option - it improves the rendering!
