The problem, whatever it is has now "infected" TextEdit. I think this is a Leopard problem.
QuickType mono now looks the same in TextEdit as it does in Textmate.
The only thing I've done is to quit & relaunch TextEdit.
I'd think I was going crazy if I didn't have the screen capture to prove what it used to look like.
Cheerio,

Here's an observation I made:
When I zoom in on the b+w screenshot with Ctrl+mwheel, I can see the artifacts of sub-pixel anti-aliasing (i.e. weird colored pixels in otherwise white text). When I do the same for white text in the colored screen shot, those artifacts are no longer there - it's just standard anti-aliasing.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what this means but hopefully it give someone else a clue to the problem.
Good luck, Ian Potter

Thanks, but anti-aliasing IS turned on.
The image I posted is not a lo-fi gif of non-anti-aliased text, but is virtually exactly what I see on the screen.
One interesting thing is that turning anti-aliasing OFF changes the font-rendering to match the metrics (ie, the lines become the same length) though not of course the look of the textedit example.
(sorry about threading, I accidentally had digest mode turned on for this list)
