Enable anti-aliasing of code view in XCode

Question

Is there any way to get XCode to render text in the editor with anti-aliasing enabled? I can't see anything in the preferences dialog that would do it.

Answer 1

XCode text is already anti-alaised. Check to make sure the font size is larger than specified in:

System Preferences -> Appearance.

If it is larger than that you can try this command at the command line to edit the application setting for xcode.

defaults write com.apple.xcode AppleAntiAliasingThreshold -int <font-size>
defaults write com.apple.xcode AppleSmoothFontsSizeThreshold -int <font-size>
