Text rendering in Sublime Text

I really don’t like jagged edges

I love Sublime Text. Unless I really need to use IDE-exclusive features, ST is my go-to choice to jotting down letters and symbols. Although text rendering on Windows looked fine for me, I discovered a way to make it even better.

Go to “Preferences -> Settings — User” and add this, to turn on DirectWrite:

{"font_options":["directwrite"]}

Put an appropriate comma, if required, to make it valid JSON. Also remember to update your GPU drivers because your ST now renders hardware-accelerated text.
