Disable antialiasing inside Xcode?

How does one disable antialiasing inside the code editor in Xcode, but not system-wide?

Solution

  • For Xcode 3.x the necessary terminal command is: 

    defaults write com.apple.xcode AppleAntiAliasingThreshold <some integer value>

    For Xcode 4 & 5 it is:

    defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode AppleAntiAliasingThreshold <some integer value>

    For Xcode 6 you may first need to enter the following at a terminal console:

    defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode NSFontDefaultScreenFontSubstitutionEnabled YES

    Then, as per usual:

    defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode AppleAntiAliasingThreshold <some integer value>

    Using AppleAntiAliasingThreshold 24 should get you what you want.
