Non-Retina display on OS X

[Jonghyun-Yun]

Thanks for sharing! Fonts in Non-Retina display are blurry. They look great in Retina display. I'm running emacs-mac on OS X Mojave.

Can you post a screenshot ? Also, what is your emacs version?

I'm using Emacs 27.2. Normal text is a bit blurry too. It seems the blurriness got more noticeable in svg-icons.

Thansk. When you say retina vs non-retina display, how do you test the two modes? Do you have a way to activate / inactivate retina display?

My main display is a non-Retina external monitor. If I drag an Emacs frame to a MacBook's Retina display, svg-icons become sharp.

I see. In such case, I don't know if there is any fix. The fact that Emacs itself is a bit blurry suggest it can't be fixed. Does the same happen with other applications ?

I heard fixed the problem somehow. I've tested PDFs pdf-view-mode ans SVG equations generated from Org LaTeX fragments, and they look clear in both displays. Thanks for the response anyway. I am a big fan of your work!

Thanks. I'm also using emacs-mac but I do not have a non-retina display and it's difficult to debug then.
