I know that Xcode uses a medium font weight and we do not currently which we need to change. Could this be what you are noticing perhaps?

Perhaps, is there a way to change the font weight in the settings so I can see if that's the issue?

I recently merged #1758 which defaults the font weight to medium (previously normal). In Xcode, keywords are also bolded which we are not doing now. This is planned though with #1717. Closing this issue.

In the 0.3.3 preview version, the monospace font is already set to medium weight, but it still appears thinner than the rendering in Xcode.app, iTerm.app, CotEditor.app, Ghostty.app, and other applications.
