| Have they fixed it spying on you? https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/terminal/issues/139 |

| ▲ | Krssst 5 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | They probably meant conhost.exe (it gets you the regular console on Windows 11). | | |

| Are you referring to the pixel-level font smoothing they use by default (as opposed to CMD's subpixel-level font smoothing)? You need to define the "antialiasingMode" key in the settings JSON for the default profile to hold the value "cleartype", rather than "grayscale" (which is the default value). I don't believe this is exposed in the GUI settings page. Note that this only affects the actual terminal emulation area. The rest of the application will still be pixel-level font smoothed (so e.g. the tab titlebars, the settings, etc.). |

| I’ve never noticed any issues on any computer with it… |

| The first time I ever saw it, the text already looked better than cmd.exe via conhost. |

| ▲ | oguz-ismail 5 days ago | parent [-] | | https://imgur.com/a/qA1fr71 Something wrong with my eyes? Doesn't cmd.exe look smoother in this screenshot? | | |
| ▲ | recursive 5 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I agree. In those screenshots cmd looks better. Not sure what's up. | | |
| ▲ | DrinkyBird 5 days ago | parent [-] | | It's the lack of subpixel anti-aliasing (aka ClearType). For some reason it's being erased from a lot of modern software. It's why Windows >= 8 UWP apps and GNOME look so blurry. | | |
| ▲ | account42 3 days ago | parent [-] | | It's just another example of why developers shouldn't be given the fanciest tech available (in this case: high DPI screens) so that they have to experience how actual users see their software. |

| ▲ | MortyWaves 5 days ago | parent [-] | | Looks like you’ve gone for something like the classic text mode 80x25? | | |

| ▲ | MortyWaves 5 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I find the Terminal more readable because the white seems brighter in your screenshots | | | |
| ▲ | mvdtnz 5 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Terminal looks far better. | |
| ▲ | Geezus_42 5 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | cmd.exe looks worse to me. Particularly because of the lack of padding on the left. | |
| ▲ | Kwpolska 5 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | cmd looks pixelated. |

| I've only used it through RDP on Wayland and it's been fine visually. Downloading it can be a challenge if you don't know where to look (Github, not Microsoft's App Store...) |
